A Collection Expressing a Passion for Historic Motorsport

Chopard, the official partner and timekeeper of the Mille Miglia—"la corsa più bella del mondo" (the world's most beautiful race)—introduces the "Mille Miglia Racing Colours."

Inspired by the racing cars that competed in the historic Mille Miglia between 1927 and 1940, these watches feature stylish, vintage-inspired cases. The dials come in five colors, each representing a traditional motorsport association between country and color: Rosso Corsa red for Italy, Silver Arrows for Germany, British Racing Green for the UK, French racing blue for Bugatti and Talbot, and Speed Yellow for Belgium, honoring the historical and cultural significance of these national racing colors.

The dials ensure excellent legibility, with large Arabic numerals, similar to the hands, treated with Super-LumiNova®. The simple, slim font and sub-dials are finished in silver, inspired by classic car dashboards. The strap, crafted from calfskin with a black rubber lining reminiscent of 1960s Dunlop racing tires, features stitching in the same color as the dial, fully embodying the world of motorsport. With 50-meter water resistance, these watches are designed for wear even during races in inclement weather.
