The ellesse Massimo W03-00860-006 is the top of the range. A black dial on a light rose gold bracelet — the only ellesse that commits fully to a warm metal rather than mixing it with steel, and the boldest combination the brand makes. Black against rose gold is high contrast and unmistakably deliberate; it is not a watch anyone buys by accident.
Underneath the finish it is a proper mechanical watch. A Miyota 8215 Japanese automatic winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace. There is a date at 3 o'clock, a coin-edged bezel carrying a 60-minute scale, and the case is rated to 10 ATM — 100 metres, which genuinely covers swimming.
That combination is the point. A fully plated watch normally means a dress watch with a modest movement and modest water resistance. This one has an automatic movement and a 100-metre case in a 40.5mm package, so the warmth is a styling decision rather than a compromise.

Why You'll Love It
- Black against rose gold is the highest-contrast warm combination there is. The dial stays completely legible while the bracelet carries all the character.
- This is the only ellesse that commits fully to a warm metal rather than mixing it with steel. If that is the look you want, nothing else in the range gets there.
- No battery, ever. The Miyota 8215 winds itself from the movement of your wrist, so there is nothing to replace.
- 10 ATM covers swimming. A fully plated watch that is also rated to 100 metres is an unusual combination — most watches finished like this are dress watches with dress-watch ratings.
- The coin-edged bezel and 60-minute scale keep the outline sporting rather than formal, which is what stops the rose gold reading as dressy.
- A date at 3 o'clock is the one extra indication most people actually use.
- 40.5mm is a full-size case that reads clearly at a glance without tipping into oversized.
- The Miyota 8215 is a Japanese automatic calibre with a long production record — chosen for reliability and serviceability rather than for show.
- A 20mm lug width is the most widely available strap size in watchmaking. Brown leather picks up the rose gold particularly well.
- Two years of warranty on every purchase from City Chain Singapore.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the three black-dial Massimos differ?
Only the bracelet, and the price follows it. One is plain steel, one is two-tone silver and light gold, and this one is light rose gold throughout. The case, movement, date, water resistance and dial are identical across all three — you are choosing a metal, not a watch.
Does the plated bracelet need any particular care?
Yes. The rose gold is a thin surface layer over stainless steel, and the clasp and outer link edges wear first because they take the most contact. Rinse in fresh water after chlorine or seawater and dry it after heavy wear, and the colour will last considerably longer. If you would rather not think about it at all, the plain steel Massimo is the same watch with nothing to wear through, and costs less.
Is a fully plated watch still suitable for swimming?
The case is rated to 10 ATM, or 100 metres, so yes — the rating is unaffected by the finish. What the finish does change is the aftercare: chlorine and salt water are hard on plating, so rinse the bracelet afterwards. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet.
What does automatic mean, and how is it different from quartz?
An automatic winds itself. A weighted rotor inside the case turns as your wrist moves, tightening a mainspring that drives the watch — so there is no battery to replace. A quartz watch runs on a cell and keeps slightly better time; an automatic runs on movement and keeps running for decades with servicing.
What happens if I don't wear it for a few days?
It will wind down and stop. That is normal for any automatic and does no harm — put it on, give it a few gentle turns of the wrist, and reset the time and date. Worth knowing on a watch you may keep for occasions rather than daily wear.
Is an automatic as accurate as a quartz watch?
No, and it is not meant to be. A mechanical movement typically gains or loses a number of seconds a day where a quartz watch is accurate to seconds a month. You are trading a little precision for a movement that runs without a battery and can be serviced indefinitely.
Will 40.5mm fit my wrist?
40.5mm sits in the standard full-size range and suits most wrists from roughly 16cm to 20cm. At 11.85mm it is deeper than a quartz watch of the same width — that height is the automatic movement inside, and it is what you are paying for.
What is the Miyota 8215?
A Japanese automatic calibre that has been in production for decades and is used across a wide range of watch brands. It is chosen for reliability and serviceability rather than prestige — any competent watchmaker knows it, and parts are widely available. That matters more over ten years than a rarer movement would.
Does it need servicing?
Yes, eventually. A mechanical movement has oiled moving parts that wear, so a service every several years keeps it running accurately. Any City Chain outlet can arrange it.
What warranty does this watch come with?
Two years when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised ellesse retailer. Keep your warranty book and proof of purchase — both are needed when submitting the watch for service at any City Chain outlet.
Can I fit a different strap?
Easily. The lugs take a 20mm strap, the most common width in watchmaking. Brown leather picks up rose gold particularly well, and swapping to a strap for daily wear keeps the bracelet finish fresh for occasions. Any City Chain store can fit one for you.
Can the bracelet be resized?
Yes. The 20mm bracelet can be adjusted to fit at any City Chain Singapore store. Bring your warranty book along for the service.
Who is ellesse?
ellesse is an Italian brand founded in Perugia in 1959 by Leonardo Servadio, the name taken from his initials. It began in skiwear and expanded through tennis and lifestyle over the following decades. City Chain holds the licence to design and sell watches under the ellesse name.
