Chopard Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph 168589-3001

About This Watch

The Chopard Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph is a dedicated racing chronograph that captures the spirit of the legendary Italian road race. The bi-compax dial layout with sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock provides a clean, vintage-racing aesthetic, while the black dial with white registers creates optimal contrast for timing laps. The tachymeter scale on the bezel ring adds functional racing utility. The movement is based on a modified ETA chronograph caliber, chosen for its reliability and proven track record. The 42mm case size is more moderate than the GTS range, making this a versatile daily wearer. The perforated calfskin strap references classic racing gloves, and each year's limited edition typically features unique design elements commemorating the specific race year. The Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph occupies a unique niche: it is one of the few racing chronographs from a major luxury brand that maintains a genuine, ongoing partnership with a legendary automotive event, lending authenticity that purely aesthetic racing watches cannot claim. At its price point, it offers excellent value for a luxury racing chronograph.
