Specifications

About this reference

A tribute to Chopard’s enduring passion for motorsport, the Mille Miglia collection introduces a 100-piece limited edition exclusive to Germany. True to the spirit of the historic Mille Miglia cars, the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph Speed Silver features a 40.5 mm case – an ideal size for driving comfort and equally refined with evening wear. It is crafted from Lucent Steel™, Chopard’s exclusive alloy well-known for its unique properties – as seen also on the bezel, crown and pushers, alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes. Knurled pushers evoke brake pedals, while the notched crown enhances grip. Welded lugs attest to meticulous craftsmanship, echoed by the pin buckle’s matching finishes. The silvered, opaline dial, that recalls the matte silver colour finish of the ‘Silver Arrows’ era, is accented with grey transfers, guaranteeing legibility. A grey minute track and tachymeter scale frame the layout, while black and grey hour markers and rhodium-plated hour and minute hands glow with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova® for night-time clarity. The red tip of the chronograph seconds hand also subtly recalls the colours of iconic Mille Miglia logo in the centre of the dial. A sapphire crystal ‘glass box’ crowns the dial, amplifying legibility, depth and light for shimmering perspectives. Completing the look, the watch is fitted with a perforated black leather strap. The sapphire crystal case-back is adorned with crossed flags: one in black-and-white chequered racing, the other depicting the German “Schwarz Rot Gold” flag. It reveals the self-winding chronograph movement, certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) and offering a 54-hour power reserve.
