The ellesse Massimo W03-00860-003 is the one you choose on purpose. Blue and black are the dials you pick when you want a watch; green is the dial you pick when you want this watch. It sits in the same 40.5mm case as the rest of the Massimo line, over the same Miyota 8215 automatic movement, rated to the same 10 ATM — the difference is entirely a matter of intent.
Green has become one of the most sought-after dial colours in watchmaking over the past few years, and it works for a reason that has nothing to do with fashion: against steel it reads as a considered choice rather than a default, and it shifts noticeably between light sources in a way that grey, black and white simply do not.
Underneath, this is a serious watch. The Miyota 8215 winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace. There is a date at hand, 10 ATM of water resistance covering swimming, 316L stainless steel on the bracelet, and a 20mm lug width that takes almost any strap you care to fit.

Why You'll Love It
- Green against steel is a deliberate choice. It reads as something you selected rather than settled for, which is most of the point of buying a watch you did not strictly need.
- No battery, ever. An automatic winds itself from the movement of your wrist, so there is no cell to replace and no morning where the watch has simply stopped.
- The Miyota 8215 is a Japanese automatic calibre with a long production record — the movement chosen for reliability and serviceability rather than for show.
- 10 ATM covers swimming. Very few watches at this price are genuinely rated for it, and fewer still look like this rather than like dive equipment.
- A green dial changes considerably between daylight and indoor light, so the watch does not look the same all day. Black and blue do not do this.
- A date window earns its place on a watch you wear every day — it 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.
- Plain steel has nothing to wear through. There is no plating at the clasp or link edges to thin out over years.
- A 20mm lug width is the most widely available strap size in watchmaking. Green pairs particularly well with brown leather and khaki fabric.
- Two years of warranty on every purchase from City Chain Singapore.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Massimo dial should I choose?
All three are the same watch at the same price — only the dial changes. Black is the most legible and the safest choice. Blue is slightly softer and shifts between near-black and clear blue. Green is the most distinctive of the three and the one most likely to be noticed, which is either the reason to buy it or the reason not to.
Is a green dial hard to wear?
Less than people expect. A deep green behaves like a dark neutral against navy, grey, white and denim, and it pairs naturally with brown leather and khaki. What it will not do is go unnoticed — if you want a watch nobody comments on, choose the black.
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.
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.
Can I swim with the Massimo?
Yes. At 10 ATM the case is rated to 100 metres, which covers swimming and general water activity. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet, rinse it in fresh water after chlorine or seawater, and follow the care guidance in your warranty book.
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 and khaki fabric both suit a green dial particularly well, and a rubber strap suits the 100-metre rating. Any City Chain store can fit one for you.
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.
Does it work as a gift?
Only if you know his taste. Green is a choice rather than a default, and it is the wrong watch to give someone whose preferences you are guessing at — the black Massimo is the safe version at the same price. If he already collects, green is the one he will appreciate having been chosen deliberately.
