The Mille Miglia gets its name from the famous Italian road race that began in 1927, and it is undoubtedly one of Chopard’s most historical watches. The brand has served as Official Timekeeper of the Mille Miglia Storica since 1988, so it’s quite fitting that its flagship should pay homage to the classic car race. What’s more, Chopard president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele has raced in every edition of the event since 1988, which testifies to the authentic passion that drives the brand.
The watch on offer here is further proof of Chopard’s commitment to its motorsports legacy, as well as an expression of its horological proficiency.
The Chopard Mille Miglia 43 GTS Power Control comes outfitted with a large stainless steel case, whose uncluttered design is highlighted by a mixture of polished and brushed surfaces. The dial is simple and highly legible, and its matt black color provides the perfect backdrop for the red seconds hand. Its date display is stylized after the Mille Miglia event logo and complements the red minute track, and its power-reserve indicator imitates a fuel gauge. Around the dial, a thin black bezel marks the minutes and seconds in increments of five. The emblematic rubber strap it rocks evokes the pattern of 1960’s Dunlop tires and ties the watch together beautifully. The Mille Miglia 43 GTS Power Control is powered by the in-house Chopard cal. 01.08-C.
Our offering is brand new, still has the stickers on (visible on the pictures) and comes in a full set of boxes and papers.
The watch is covered by 1 year of limited warranty from ChronoTimepieces.
