Chopard Mille Miglia ‘Racing Colors’ Limited Edition Watches Hands-On

Despite emphasizing its connection to the relatively niche classic car racing event for which the collection is named, Chopard has done well creating a broader appeal for the Mille Miglia line of motor-sporty chronographs Celebrating 30 years of doing so, the limited edition Chopard Mille Miglia "Racing Colors" have five colorful dial variations representing different countries' racing livery The name Mille Miglia means "Thousand miles" in Italian and is the name, if you didn't already know, of an Italian car rally in May from Brescia to Rome and back, apparently also known as "The world's most beautiful race" In addition to a regular Mille Miglia collection, Chopard periodically does limited editions for the race.

The Chopard Mille Miglia "Racing Colors" watches largely follow the form of existing Mille Miglia collection pieces but add five different brightly colored dials for each of the five countries: Italy, Germany, UK, France, and Belgium In addition to the tire-tread rubber straps usually associated with the collection, the Chopard Mille Miglia "Racing Colors" watches come on calfskin straps with sporty perforation and stitching to match the dial colors, as shown here Considering the $4,900 sticker on the non-limited Chopard Mille Miglia watches, these dial colors and their limited-edition "Exclusivity" drive the price a bit higher than expected.

The Chopard Mille Miglia "Racing Colors" watches are limited to 300 pieces in each color with a price of $6,080 USD chopard.com. . Source
