Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph British Racing Green

A tribute to Chopard’s enduring passion for motorsport, the Mille Miglia collection introduces a numbered 100-piece limited edition exclusive to the United Kingdom. True to the spirit of the historic Mille Miglia cars, the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph British Racing Green features a 40.5 mm case – an ideal size for driving comfort and equally refined with evening wear. It is crafted from Lucent Steel™, Chopard’s exclusive alloy well-known for its unique properties – as seen also on the bezel, crown and pushers, alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes. Knurled pushers evoke brake pedals, while the notched crown enhances grip. Welded lugs attest to meticulous craftsmanship, echoed by the pin buckle’s matching finishes. The British Racing Green dial – a nod to the UK's historic motorsport colours – is accented with white transfers, guaranteeing legibility. A white minute track and tachymeter scale frame the layout, while white hour markers and rhodium-plated hour and minute hands glow with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova® for night-time clarity. The red tip of the chronograph seconds hand also subtly recalls the colours of iconic Mille Miglia logo in the centre of the dial. A sapphire crystal ‘glass box’ crowns the dial, amplifying legibility, depth and light for shimmering perspectives. Completing the look, the watch is fitted with a dark green rubber strap featuring a tyre-tread motif – a creative touch from Chopard, which was among the first Manufactures to use rubber on the straps of Mille Miglia chronographs. The sapphire crystal case-back is adorned with crossed flags: one in black-and-white chequered racing, the other depicting the Union Jack. It reveals the self-winding chronograph movement, certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) and offering a 54-hour power reserve.
