Chopard Mille Miglia 2018 Race Edition Mechanical Automatic Watch

This year CHOPARD celebrates the 30th anniversary of its sponsorship of the Mille Miglia race between Brescia and Rome. Each year, CHOPARD celebrates the classic car race with a limited-edition sports watch. The Mille Miglia 2018 Race Edition is a numbered series with a COSC-certified movement that has a rate variation within -4 to +6 seconds per day.

There will be 1,000 pieces in steel – marking the 1,000 miles of the race – and 100 pieces in 18k gold and steel, each with an inscription on the caseback: “Chopard & Mille Miglia 30 anni di passione.” The watch is designed as a tribute to classic automobiles, with a dashboard-inspired dial, a notched crown resembling a gas-tank cap, and chronograph pushers shaped like engine pistons. The strap is perforated in the style of driving gloves.
