Chopard MILLE MIGLIA CLASSIC CHRONOGRAPH - LA GARA

INSPIRED BY THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD

Chopard’s Mille Miglia collection welcomes a new design for the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph model. Its 40.5 mm case in Chopard’s exclusive Lucent Steel™, made with a recycling rate of at least 80%, frames a dial inspired by the black and white checkered flag marking the arrival of a motor-race winner. Symbolising the competitive spirit, this dial is called ‘La Gara’, the Italian word for race. It is topped by a superb ‘glass box’ crystal ensuring optimal opening onto the dial and hence maximum legibility. This model beats to the rhythm of a chronograph movement with chronometer-certified precision. Competitive spirit and sense of camaraderie; energy and dynamism; speed and style: such are the attributes epitomising Italy’s celebrated 1000 Miglia Italian classic car race that Chopard has been annually expressing since 1988 through the watches of the Mille Miglia collection.
