A Realization of Shared Values and Passion for the Mille Miglia




The "Mille Miglia Zagato," a limited edition that is original, robust, and technically advanced, sees Chopard responsible for the movement and case—the engine and chassis, so to speak—while Zagato focused on the exterior and dial, akin to the car's body and interior, as well as the strap design.

The movement, the engine of the watch, is an automatic chronograph movement featuring a date and second time zone display. This movement, also found in regular Mille Miglia models, is COSC-certified, guaranteeing the highest precision. Chopard also handled the case, a 42.5mm stainless steel model coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) for its scratch resistance and substantial feel.

Details of the exterior, corresponding to the car's body, were a joint effort. The strap incorporates Zagato's signature style, designed to echo the "double-bubble" roofline.

The sharp, angular "Z" logo, designed specifically for this model, adorns the crown and dial, enhancing both its sporty aesthetic and design appeal. The watch is available in two versions: an all-black model and a two-tone version featuring an 18K rose gold bezel. Both are limited to 500 pieces worldwide and will be available at Chopard boutiques globally.

The result is a timepiece that embodies Zagato's spirit for Gran Turismo, Chopard's rigorous watchmaking expertise, and the authentic legacy of the Mille Miglia, the classic car race held in Italy.
