ABOUT THIS WATCH

• First run in 1927 and restarted as an exclusive vintage revival race in 1977, the Mille Miglia is one of the key events in the Italian sporting calendar
• Since 1988, Chopard had been a timing partner, a sponsor and has produced a range of watches to celebrate the race
• This 'Competitor' reference is one of just 375 pieces offered to people competing in this historical road race
• The dial design cleverly relocates the hour numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock to the underside of the crystal to emphasise the chronograph function
• Housed inside the case is the reliable Valjoux 7750 movement, which offers chronograph functionality alongside a 42-hour power reserve
• In keeping with the road racing spirit, the rubber strap has a characteristic ‘tyre’ tread design
