DESCRIPTION

  • Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed black - Cool precision

    Chopard presents a new sports watch, the Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed black, born of its passion for classic motor racing. Cloaked in deep black, this powerful model joins the Mille Miglia GTS collection launched in 2015 and inspired by the legendary Italian competition for which Chopard has been serving as official timekeeper since 1988. Sophisticated design and technical excellence combine in this exclusive timepiece powered by a Chopard calibre and chronometer-certified by the COSC. With its red “RossaCorsa” detailing, its oversized numerals recalling a 1950s dashboards, its engine-style finishing and its strap featuring a vintage Dunlop racing tyre-tread motif, the new Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed black – issued in a 1,000-piece limited edition – perpetuates the Chopard classic racing spirit.

    A passion for fine mechanisms

    The now inseparable ties between Chopard and classic racing stemmed from the personal passion for collector’s cars nurtured by Chopard co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele. This strong attachment was manifested in 1988 when the Manufacture became partner and official timekeeper of the famous Mille Miglia: an endurance competition that sees more than 400 classic cars facing off each spring on a thousand-mile loop-style course between Brescia and Rome that winds its way through some magnificent Italian scenery. Referred to by Enzo Ferrari as the “world’s most beautiful race”, it inspired an eponymous watch collection created by Chopard in 1988 and which since 2015 is equipped with Manufacture movements. An authentic benchmark in the field of contemporary watchmaking, the Mille Miglia collection annually welcomes new models distinguished by sophisticated and eminently virile designs.

    Deep black

    The intensely dusky Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed black now enriches this iconic collection by revisiting the characteristics of the classic cars that took part in the Italian race between 1940 and 1957. Cloaked in deep black from its case and dial all the way to its functional screws, it flaunts a powerful look and a sporting character suited to all occasions. This contemporary timepiece issued in a 1,000-piece limited series comes in a sturdy 43 mm-diameter case made of stainless steel blackened by a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) treatment creating an extremely resistant coating, topped by a bezel with a graduated black aluminium insert. Its short, streamlined lugs – designed to mould the curves of the wrist to perfection – ensure optimal comfort and a unique style. The model is ideally complemented by the integrated black rubber strap inspired by 1960s Dunlop racing tyres and fastened by a DLC-coated stainless steel folding clasp. The screw-in case-back guaranteeing water resistance to a depth of 100 metres is secured by eight PVD-treated black screws and engraved with the inscription “Mille Miglia GTS Speed black”. Its tinted crystal surrounded by a bright red gasket provides fascinating glimpses of the Chopard movement its engine-style finishes and its openworked oscillating weight. 

     A set of contrasts

    While the Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed black lives up to its name, it also plays on contrasts. Its velvet-finish matt black dial is lit up by flamboyant red accents in the shape of a sweep-seconds hand, the gasket surrounding the minute track, as well as the arrow-shaped Mille Miglia logo framing the date aperture. This iconic “RossaCorsa”, the shade formerly allocated to Italy in motor-racing competitions, is one of the “racing colours” that served to identify rival nationalities. The superlumionva-painted oversized 6 and 12 o’clock Arabic numerals stand out clearly against the dial. Evoking the dashboards on classic cars, they meet the legibility demands of the Italian race that takes place in any weather. Reflecting the same care for details, the broad facetted dagger-shaped hands and the black metallised applied hour-markers are painted with a luminescent substance, thereby accentuating the sporting nature of this prestigious timepiece. 

    High-precision watch ‘engine’

    The impressive lines of the Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed black house an ‘engine’ boasting equally remarkable precision and performance. Chopard Calibre 01.01-M, entirely conceived, developed and assembled in the Chopard workshops, is chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). Endowed with a generous 60-hour power reserve, this mechanical self-winding movement powers the hours, minutes, seconds and date functions. A symbol of prowess and high technical standards, this mechanism features grooved bridges with exclusive finishes echoing the cooling fins on racing cars. A dark and powerful watch exuding undeniable character and chic styling, the Mille Miglia GTS Automatic Speed black embodies the Chopard classic racing spirit interpreted in a resolutely contemporary mode.
