Quick TakeAlright, gearheads and watch freaks, feast your eyes on this Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Automatic. It's like they strapped a '60s race car to your wrist – but, you know, classy. That black dial with the red accents screams speed, and the tire-tread strap? Come on, that's just cool. But it's not all show. Under the hood, you've got a self-winding, COSC-certified engine ticking away with enough precision to make a Swiss banker jealous. This isn't just a watch; it's a statement. A statement that says you appreciate the finer things, like the roar of an engine and the smooth sweep of a second hand. It's bold, it's brash, and it's got that vintage vibe that whispers tales of legendary races and hairpin turns. This is the kind of watch that doesn't just tell time – it tells a story. And trust me, it's a story you want to be a part of.

DescriptionThe Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Automatic, reference 168565-3001, represents a horological homage to vintage racing, embodying a design reminiscent of classic Mille Miglia race cars. The watch is encased in Lucent Steel™, measuring 43 mm in diameter and 11.43 mm in thickness. The case incorporates a screw-down crown, also made of stainless steel, which aids in achieving a water resistance of 100 meters. The dial, finished in matte black with a lacquered touch, features rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and hour markers enhanced with Super-LumiNova for visibility in low-light conditions. A red central seconds hand and the iconic red Mille Miglia logo add a sporty contrast, while the flange carries black and red accents. The watch face is protected by a glare-proofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and clarity. The case back is transparent, utilizing a see-through sapphire crystal that allows for observation of the intricate movement within.

The core of this timepiece is the Chopard Caliber 01.01-C, a self-winding mechanical movement that operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, equivalent to 28,800 vibrations per hour. This movement has a diameter of 28.80 mm and a thickness of 4.95 mm. It comprises 207 components, including 31 jewels that minimize friction and wear. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 60 hours and includes a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. Noteworthy features of the movement's design include a flat balance spring and a balance wheel with four spokes, complete with a micro-regulator with screws. Decoration of the movement includes bridges adorned with a snailed motif and a circular-grained mainplate, underscoring Chopard's dedication to meticulous craftsmanship. This caliber holds a chronometer certification from the COSC, affirming its accuracy and reliability under various conditions. The timepiece is equipped with a black rubber strap that mimics the tread pattern of 1960s Dunlop tires, secured by a stainless steel folding clasp.
