Chopard has launched a new limited-edition watch to mark the start of the 44th Mille Miglia historical re-enactment. The Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu Racing Edition features a blue-gray dial inspired by classic car dashboards.
The 43mm watch is limited to 250 pieces and priced at €7,940. It uses Lucent Steel made from 80 percent recycled material and houses the COSC-certified caliber 01.08-C automatic movement with a 60-hour power reserve. The annual event began on June 9 in Brescia, Italy. More than 400 classic cars follow a route to Rome before returning to Brescia on June 13. Chopard has served as official sponsor and timekeeper since 1988 under co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele. The Grigio-Blu dial includes a power-reserve indicator styled like a fuel gauge and a historic road sign motif at 3 o'clock. The watch comes on a black technical textile strap with a tire-tread pattern and Lucent Steel clasp.
