Stepping up in Chopard's range
The Mille Miglia line was born from Karl-Friedrich Scheufele's genuine involvement in the 1000 Miglia revival race — not a marketing arrangement but a decades-long commitment that has shaped the collection into something with real automotive DNA rather than borrowed imagery. That relationship now spans more than 35 years, and it shows in choices like the screw-down crown engraved with a steering wheel motif and the perforated calfskin strap that echoes the cut of a vintage racing glove rather than simply being brown leather. The "Rosso Amarena" dial is a specific shade — a deep cherry rather than a flat signal red — and the circular satin-brushed finish catches light differently across its surface, giving it movement that a plain lacquer would not. The calibre inside is COSC-certified, which for a chronograph movement means the column-wheel and vertical-clutch disciplines have been held to observatory standards; the 54-hour reserve means a weekend away without winding is not a calculation you need to make. The exhibition caseback lets the rotor visible, and on Lucent Steel — Chopard's proprietary alloy, meaningfully harder than standard steel — the case arrives and stays looking sharper for longer.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 54 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Who are Goldsmiths?
Goldsmiths has been selling watches in Britain since 1778 and is part of the Watches of Switzerland Group, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. They are an authorised dealer, so a watch comes with the manufacturer’s own warranty.
