Chopard Mille Miglia GMT Chronograph automatic 42 mm

A little history

The Mille Miglia is a spellbinding automotive odyssey through Italy's picturesque landscapes, where roaring cars speed through the green valleys of Tuscany, flanked by timeless villages perched on hills bathed in light. The intoxicating scent of olive groves and vineyards mingles with the electrifying excitement of the competition. This is how to present the approximately 1,600 kilometers of the Mille Miglia race. It is all of these things at once: an anthology event, which Enzo Ferrari did not hesitate to describe as the most beautiful race in the world! A unique gathering of more than 400 historic racing cars and their drivers!

Since 1988, Chopard has been associated with this legendary competition as its main partner. This has notably resulted in the Mille Miglia watch collection, which has taken an important place in the company's catalog.

The model

This Chopard Mille Miglia GMT Chronograph is a true pilot's watch: sporty, legible and functional! It offers numerous displays and is worn on a perforated black leather strap.

The strength of the design and technical qualities combine to make this watch an object that you will enjoy wearing every day. Its 42 mm polished steel case houses a black dial with Arabic numerals and printed baton indexes. Its chronograph function and the red Mille Miglia logo give it a sporty and distinguished look.

The hands and hour markers are coated with Luminova, ensuring that the time is perfectly legible in all circumstances. On this dial, there are three chronograph counters, with minutes at 9 o'clock, hours at 6 o'clock and small seconds at 9 o'clock. There is also a date display at 3 o'clock, which is extremely easy to read thanks to the magnifying glass on the sapphire crystal. A black GMT hand allows you to keep track of a second time zone thanks to the 24-hour GMT bezel.

To ensure high performance and efficiency, this Mille Migla is powered by an automatic chronograph movement, the ETA 7754. It offers a 42-hour power reserve and is regulated to 28,800 vibrations per hour to ensure short time measurements to 1/8th of a second. Very useful for reading and calculating average racing speed thanks to its tachymeter scale. Finally, this caliber offers a GMT complication and is certified as a chronometer by the COSC.
