The Rally 1000 Miglia, (meaning Rally 1000 miles) is a vintage and classic car race which is part of the European Rally Championship and has been held since 1977. It was in 1988 when Chopard started to actively sponsor the race and became their official timekeeper. The Mille Miglia Gran Turismo collection of Chopard watches links together the mechanical engineering of both automobiles and watches through passion, performance and precision.

The Chopard Mille Miglia Gran Turismo XL Chrono watches possess an automatic movement as well as maintaining a power reserve for 46 hours. The chronograph function (as is traditional) records up to 12 hours of elapsed time and features second, minute and hour counters. The instantaneous date display at 3 o’clock is emphasized through a magnifying optic in the sapphire crystal glass. 

The case of this Mille Miglia model is available in 18 carat rose gold (limited edition) or in stainless steel as standard.  As with many of Chopard’s designs, the attention to detail is extraordinary, including such decoration as the minute track engraved on the dial. The case back is transparent to reveal the movement, but made reassuringly from scratch resistant sapphire crystal.

A variety of straps and buckles are also available, meaning that the Gran Turismo XL Chrono can be fashioned to your personal tastes. A hand stitched crocodile strap in brown or black is available, as is a Barrenia Mille Miglia style brown strap.  Of course, with its strong automotive heritage, the majority of Mille Miglia models sport the detailed black rubber Dunlop tyre tread strap – a modern design classic. There is a selection of buckle options as well, however we recommend the deployment clasp, with its dual push button release for added peace of mind.

The Chopard Mille Miglia Gran Turismo XL Chrono (2008) has a limited edition model in rose gold (model number 161268-5003) with only 500 pieces available worldwide. Therefore anyone fortunate enough to own a Gran Turismo XL Chrono, without doubt, wears on their wrist and classic piece of Chopard history.
