Chopard has been sponsoring the Mille Miglia race since 1988 and has been making watches to commemorate the race. The original Mille Miglia race was a automobile race that took place in Italy from 1927 to 1961 and there are reenactment races that continue today. The present example features a 40mm case with luminous hands and luminous Arabic numerals on the dial for maximum legibility. The Mille Miglia is a versatile watch that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
