Both Chopard and Romain Dumas shares values of performance, independence and passion for ultimate racing and mechanism. Romain Dumas chose to wear during this incredible race a Mille Miglia GTS Speedblack a perfect fit with his black prototype racing car.
Cloaked in deep black, this powerful model joined in 2016 the Mille Miglia GTS collection inspired by the legendary Italian competition for which Chopard has been serving as official timekeeper since 1988. Sophisticated design and technical excellence combine in this exclusive timepiece powered by a Chopard calibre and chronometer-certified by the COSC. With its red “Rossa Corsa” detailing, its oversized numerals recalling a 1950s dashboards, its engine-style finishing and its strap featuring a vintage Dunlop racing tyre-tread motif, the new Mille Miglia GTS Speedblack – issued in a 1,000-piece limited edition – perpetuates the Chopard classic racing spirit.
