The Chopard Mille Miglia Chronograph is a tribute to legendary Italian racing and Swiss precision, born from Chopard’s long-standing partnership with the iconic Mille Miglia vintage car rally. Since 1988, Chopard has been the official timekeeper of the 1,000-mile journey across Italy, and Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele personally takes part in the race each year.

At first glance, the watch commands attention with its mesmerizing Rosso Amarena lacquer dial, a deep cherry red that shifts with the light. Sometimes appearing like rich Bordeaux wine, and at other moments glowing with garnet intensity. Surrounding it is a matte silver tachymeter ring, with the markings inspired by Italian road signs, and glossy white subdials framed with polished rings evoke the layout of classic dashboards. The stepped bezel, chamfered lugs, and brake pedal textured pushers, all inspired by automotive design. Even the sapphire “glassbox” crystal provides this vintage-meets-modern charm. The red Mille Miglia arrow logo sits proudly on the dial. A constant reminder of the race spirit.

The case is crafted from Lucent Steel™, Chopard’s proprietary alloy. It radiates brilliance while offering durability 50% stronger than traditional steel. All while using up to 80% recycled material. Driving this timepiece is the COSC-certified ETA 2894-2 automatic chronograph movement, a high-frequency engine with a 42-hour power reserve that delivers accuracy as dependable as a finely tuned race car. The chronograph hand is highlighted in bold red and Super-LumiNova fills the indices and hands ensuring visibility at all times of the day.

It comes fitted on a calfskin leather strap, and the watch is water resistant to 50 meters, though it’s best suited for the track. It’s a true racing-inspired chronograph that connects its wearer to one of the greatest motoring traditions in the world. Every detail reflects Chopard’s meticulous craftsmanship and the spirit of performance engineering.

This Red Mille Miglia Chrono is a piece of racing history. A story told in steel, lacquer, and movement. Ready to accelerate your collection with passion, precision, and timeless style.
