Chopard introduces the Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu – 2026 Racing Edition, a numbered limited edition of 250 pieces that distils the Maison’s passion for motorsport into a purposeful design. Endurance, legibility and mechanical precision: this latest Mille Miglia chronometer is resolutely contemporary while remaining deeply anchored in the heritage of the Italian race of which Chopard has been partner since 1988.
The 43 mm case, crafted in Lucent Steel™, immediately asserts the timepiece’s robust character. The proportions of the case are balanced by short, ergonomic lugs that ensure a secure and comfortable fit on the wrist, while a screw-down crown engraved with a steering wheel reinforces its identity as a true instrument for drivers. Water-resistant to 100 metres, the timepiece is engineered to perform with reliability in all conditions.
The Grigio-Blu dial draws direct inspiration from racing-car dashboards. Crafted from brass with a grained blue-grey finish, its texture and hue subtly recall the asphalt of the race roads. Broad, masculine typography ensures immediate legibility. The racing references continue with a power-reserve indicator designed like a fuel gauge.
Time is given via broad facetted hands and applied metallic hour-markers, all coated with black Super-LumiNova®, ensuring optimal readability day and night. A semi‑instantaneous date completes the functional layout.
At the heart of the watch beats the Chopard calibre 01.08‑C, an in-house mechanical self-winding movement. Chronometer-certified by the COSC, it guarantees high-precision timekeeping. Operating at a frequency of 4Hz, the movement offers a comfortable 60-hour power reserve, along with a stop-seconds function enabling accurate time-setting down to the second.
The Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio Blu – 2026 Racing Edition is paired with a technical black textile strap, reinforced with a rubber lining on the interior for enhanced comfort and durability, and secured by a folding clasp. A subtle tyre‑tread motif on the rubber lining discreetly references the collection’s racing heritage.
Combining assertive design, advances functions and mechanical excellence, this timepiece is issued as a limited edition reserved for the Italian retail network and Chopard Boutiques worldwide.
Chopard Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele said: “With the Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu – Racing Edition, we wanted to express what endurance truly means today: reliability, clarity and mechanical precision, combined with a strong, contemporary design.”
