CHOPARD – Mille Miglia 2014

There’s a tinge of nostalgia to the Chopard chronograph dial bearing the Italian flag’s colours and the logo for the race Enzo called “la corsa più bella del mondo” (the most beautiful race in the world). The matt white disc radiates the colourful racing spirit of the Mille Miglia, the 1000 mile prestigious and legendary car race running through Brescia-Rome-Brescia founded in 1927: the green minute track, tachymeter scale and large red central seconds hand, 3 counters (small seconds at 3, minute counter at 9 and hour counter at 6) and date (at 4.30) in black. The hours appear in 30s style calligraphy. Two baton-shaped hands with a luminescent coating in the centre track the hours and minutes. The time functions are brought to life by a self-winding COSC-certified movement in the 42mm steel case. Price: 4,900 CHF
