The ellesse Massimo W03-00860-005 is the dressed-up one. A black dial sits above a bracelet worked in silver and light gold together — the only Massimo carrying two metals, and the only one that reads as an evening watch rather than a daily one. Black and gold is the oldest formal combination in watchmaking, and putting it on a case rated to 10 ATM is what stops it from looking precious.
A two-tone bracelet also solves a practical problem. Most men wear one piece of metal on the other hand — a wedding band — and a plain steel bracelet either matches it or doesn't. A bracelet carrying both silver and gold sits comfortably beside either.
Underneath, it is the same serious watch as the rest of the line. A Miyota 8215 Japanese automatic winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery. A coin-edged bezel carries a 60-minute scale, there is a date at 3 o'clock, and the case measures 40.5mm across and 11.85mm deep on a 20mm bracelet.

Why You'll Love It
- A two-tone bracelet bridges to a gold wedding band in a way plain steel doesn't. If that's what's on your other hand, this is the Massimo that agrees with it.
- Black and gold is the oldest formal pairing there is, and the highest-contrast one — the dial stays completely legible against the warmth of the bracelet.
- This is the only Massimo that dresses up without effort. The other four are daily watches; this one handles an evening.
- No battery, ever. The Miyota 8215 winds itself from the movement of your wrist, so there is nothing to replace.
- 10 ATM covers swimming — unusual on any two-tone watch, which are normally the kind you take off at the door.
- The coin-edged bezel and 60-minute scale keep the outline sporting rather than formal, which is what stops the 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.
- A 20mm lug width is the most widely available strap size in watchmaking, so a leather strap for a different look is easy to source.
- Two years of warranty on every purchase from City Chain Singapore.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a two-tone watch work for men?
It does, and for a specific reason. Most men wear one piece of metal on the other hand — a wedding band — and a plain steel bracelet either matches it or clashes with it. A two-tone bracelet carries both silver and gold, so it sits comfortably beside a warm-toned ring. If your ring is white gold or platinum, one of the plain steel Massimos is the better match.
Does the two-tone bracelet need any particular care?
Yes, a little more than a plain steel one. The gold is a thin surface layer over the steel, and the clasp and link edges are where it wears first because they take the most contact. Rinse the bracelet in fresh water after chlorine or seawater and dry it after heavy wear, and it will hold its colour far longer. If you want a bracelet with nothing to wear through, the all-steel Massimos are the more robust choice at a lower price.
How does this differ from the other black Massimo?
The bracelet. Both have the same black dial, the same 40.5mm case, the same automatic movement and the same 10 ATM rating. This one is two-tone in silver and light gold; the other is plain steel and costs less. The choice is whether you want the warmth and are willing to look after the finish.
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. On an occasion watch this is worth knowing, since it will rarely be running when you reach for it.
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, and rinse the bracelet in fresh water afterwards — that matters more here than on the steel references, because of the plating.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.
