Introducing the 30th Anniversary of Mille Miglia, California
Low-key
This year Chopard replica is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the California Millennium Tour. To commemorate this moment, the family manufacturer launched the Mille Miglia GTS Power Control California Mille 30th Anniversary Edition, of which only 30 were produced.
The design of the power reserve indicator at nine o’clock is similar to a classic car fuel gauge, while the date window at three o’clock is framed by a miniature ‘1000 Miglia’ directional arrow graphic, marking the 1000 Miglia route.
The case back of the watch is engraved with the words “Limited Edition 30” and “Brescia-Roma-Brescia”, and the blue “California 2021” is directly printed on the sapphire crystal glass.
California Mille (California Mille) is 1,000 miles long, four days, through the picturesque roads of Northern California, through charming small towns unaffected by change.
The 43 mm stainless steel silver dial is designed to echo the body of old cars, while the observatory cleverly combines car design with mechanical watchmaking.
This is the third consecutive year that Chopard has been selected as the “official timekeeper” for the 30th California Millennium. This year it will be held from April 25th to April 29th.
The new Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Automatic is equipped with Chopard 01.08-C chronometer, COSC certified, equipped with a self-winding movement and a 60-hour power reserve. The movement has hours, minutes, seconds, date, power reserve indicator and chronograph.
The design of the power reserve indicator at nine o’clock is similar to a classic car fuel gauge, while the date window at three o’clock is framed by a miniature ‘1000 Miglia’ directional arrow graphic, marking the 1000 Miglia route.
On the back of the watch, Mille Miglia GTS Power Control displayed an exhibition back cover with the words “Brescia-Roma-Brescia” and “Limited Edition 30” engraved on it, and the words “California 2021” in blue directly printed on the sapphire crystal glass.
To complete the look, the watch is equipped with a perforated blue calfskin strap with a blue rubber lining based on the pattern of Dunlop racing tires from the 1960s.
The Chopard Mille Miglia is a true collector’s watch, whose movement comes from Chopard’s own Fleurier Ebauches workshop.
The history of Mille Miglia can be traced back to 1927, when two nobles wanted to make up for the loss of the Italian Grand Prix near their hometown of Brescia. The original Mille Miglia let the car race on the road instead of on the track. For safety reasons, it was discontinued in 1957, but was revived 20 years later under the name Mille Miglia Storica, and since then it has become the world’s most prestigious classic car endurance race.
“We all believe that cars are not just about getting from point A to point B, they are also about connection and friendship. This year’s California Mille is true to its roots of “important cars, trails, and good friends.” McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty , Has been the owner of California Mille since October 2020. best replica watches sites to buy from uk
