Chopard Mille Milglia Gran Turismo

Widely regarded as a historic and iconic endurance race that has captured the hearts of motorsport enthusiasts worldwide, the Mille Miglia has echoed the bygone era of motorsport’s golden age. Its history is etched in the annals of racing folklore, and its allure has captivated enthusiasts for decades.

This legendary event, known for its rich heritage and challenging course, is a symbol of endurance, elegance and precision. Among the many luxury brands that have embraced the spirit of the Mille Miglia, Chopard stands out as a special partner, becoming synonymous and almost indistinguishable from the legendary event.

Honoring the spirit of the Mille Miglia by becoming its official timekeeper and sponsor since 1988, the partnership has flourished to a long and cherished relationship between Chopard and the legendary race. 

Every year, Chopard releases a special edition Mille Milgia watch such as this Chopard Mille Miglia Gran Turismo. Housed in a 40.5mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, it features a fixed steel timing bezel, a signed crown, a luminous gloss black dial with ‘Arabic’ indices, a matching ‘stick’ handset and a ‘digital’ date display. 

It comes fitted on a stainless steel bracelet with a signed, hidden locking clasp and an automatic winding movement. Between the old-world ‘Chopard’ typeface, oversized hour markers and the date display, there’s no shortage of charm with this Mille Miglia piece and the steel bezel just puts a cherry on top. 

Throw this on the wrist, slip on a pair of driving gloves, and let the Mille Miglia vibes take over.

Established in 1860 in Solvilier, Switzerland, Chopard has been making watches and jewelry for over 160 years, with clients that include Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Known for its “Happy Diamond” watch in which diamonds appear to float on the dial, the brand boasts its own movement manufacture in Fleurier and a headquarters in Geneva.

If you’re interested in cars, you probably know Chopard for its longtime sponsorship of the famed Mille Miglia race, with which it has been associated since 1988. It’s also the official timekeeper of the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco, a title it has held since 2002.

Today, Chopard’s Alpine Eagle — based upon the St. Moritz watch from the 1980s — sits alongside the likes of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus in the “luxury sports watch” category, proving that the maison is more than just a purveyor of fine jewelry, but also a first-class watchmaker.
