Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono Speed Black Watch

The Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono Speed Black watch is an uncompromising vision of sports luxury. The 44mm stainless steel case of this timepiece stands out immediately, due to its mysterious black DLC coating, and chronograph pushers which flank the crown with a sleek, integral design; the bezel is engraved with a tachymeter scale which permits the calculation of average lap speeds and other critical periods of time. A curved sapphire crystal spans the dial, taking on an unusual and captivating effect, due to the transferal of the numerals for the hours of 12 and 6. Beneath the crystal, the dial offers the eye complex details and multiple planes, which call to mind the displays of a racing motorcar. Superluminova applications on the hands and the hour indices enable effortless reading of the time no matter the level of ambient light. Water resistance of this model is rated at 100 meters.

The Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono Speed Black watch is animated by a Valjoux 7750 movement. This proven self-winding mechanism features a balance wheel frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour, giving the chronograph a precision capability to 1/8th of a second. In addition to the chronograph functions, the caliber also offers small seconds, and a rapidly correctable date display. Each movement has been certified as a chronometer, after passing 15 days of precision testing at an office of the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres (COSC).

A tribute to the legendary Mille Miglia race, the strap of the Chopard GT XL Chrono Speed Black watch is crafted from rubber, and bears the distinctive pattern of a classic 1960's Dunlop racing tire. Chopard will limit the production of this dynamic timepiece to a series of 1000 pieces, which are available exclusively through the brand's boutiques.
