 Crafted in gold and engraved by hand, it reproduces the texture and feel of a tobacco leaf to perfection, while the shimmering brown enamel brings with it the feeling of an authentic puro. Just like a hand-rolled Habanos, this masterpiece has a complex aroma, combining strength and finesse. Beneath the domed sapphire crystal, the applique hour-markers and the faceted, gold-plated hands showcase the spectacular self-regulating Gravity Control module, encircled by the Zenith and Cuban brand emblems.


Precision hour wheel

The uniqueness of the Academy Christophe Colomb Tribute to Cohiba is also reflected in its Manufacture movement, which combines two mechanisms ensuring unequalled precision: On the one hand, a regulating organ with high-frequency oscillations (5 Hz) enabling tenth of a second time sequencing, and on the other, a patented Gravity Control gyroscopic module which neutralises the effects of gravity on the watch operation. Housed in a case with a water resistance of up to 30 metres and equipped with a total of 308 components – 171 of which are used for the gyroscopic module – the hand-wound El Primero 8804 calibre features off-centred hours and minutes functions, small seconds, a self-regulating Gravity Control module and a power reserve indicator boasting an autonomy of more than 50 hours.

MIDO – BELLUNA Chronograph Caliber 60
















MIDOBELLUNA Chronograph Caliber 60 Automatic NEW

A sport-chic model that combines elegance and performance

Sporty and sophisticated, the new Belluna Chronograph Caliber 60 perfectly encapsulates Mido's watchmaking expertise. Its round steel case with polished rose PVD treatment reveals a subtle anthracite dial. Decorated with a beautiful wave pattern, it houses two snailed counters outlined by a gold-coloured border. The Belluna Chronograph Caliber 60 also features exceptional autonomy, as it is equipped with the Caliber 60 – an automatic chronograph movement at the cutting edge of watchmaking innovation that offers up to 60 hours of power reserve. The Belluna Chronograph Caliber 60 is a sport-chic model that combines elegance and performance.

Inaugurated in 1871 to promote the arts and science, London's Royal Albert Hall is now one of the most renowned concert halls in the United Kingdom. Built in a style true to the Victorian era, this huge red brick monument consists of a series concentric circles. Its curvaceous, rounded architecture is impressively dominated by a central glass dome. Just like this magnificent building, the Belluna range displays perfectly harmonious forms and embodies classic, timeless elegance.

In the new Belluna Chronograph Caliber 60, elegance rivals performance. This sport-chic model perfectly encapsulates Mido's watchmaking expertise. Its slender round case measuring 42 mm in diameter is made from polished rose PVD-treated steel. It reveals a superb anthracite dial decorated with a wave pattern and protected by a sapphire crystal coated with an anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The two counters are snailed and surrounded by a gold-coloured border. The chronograph's 30-minute counter is positioned at 3 o'clock, while the small-seconds counter is located at 9 o'clock. The date, meanwhile, is displayed in an aperture at 6 o’clock. It can easily be adjusted thanks to the quick corrector situated at 10 o’clock. Just like London's Royal Albert Hall, whose harmonious curves inspired this timepiece, the Belluna Chronograph Caliber 60 exhibits undeniable delicacy and subtlety.

Yet behind its great elegance, the Belluna Chronograph Caliber 60 conceals a much sportier side. The timepiece is fitted with an automatic movement at the cutting edge of watchmaking innovation: the Caliber 60, which gives it up to 60 hours of power reserve. This characteristic is sure to appeal to all men who love sport and fine mechanical watchmaking. The transparent case back will enable them to endlessly admire the finely decorated movement, with its blued screws and an oscillating weight adorned with Geneva stripes and the Mido logo.
