Pre-Basel Release 2 - MM Gran Turismo XL GMT

The outstanding characteristics of the new Mille Miglia Grand Turismo XL GMT include a dual time-zone indication and a representation of the globe at the centre of the dial. The watch uncompromisingly flaunts its sporting and dynamic nature with features such as the oversized 12 and 6 o’clock Arabic numerals and the Superluminova hour-markers as well as the hour and minute hands. Signature features of the Mille Miglia collection are continued with the famous red arrow and the emblem of the legendary race within which Chopard has been associated since 1988. The watch is also fitted with natural rubber strap resembling the tread of the 1960’s Dunlop Racing tyres.

Water-resistant to 100 metres, fitted with a glare-proof sapphire crystal complete with magnifying glass and a screw-locked crown stamped with the Mille Miglia arrow, its generous 44 mm case houses a mechanical self-winding movement chronometer-certified by the COSC – a sure token of precision and reliability. It shows the hours, minutes and central seconds, along with a date window and a central second time-zone hand.

The Mille Miglia Gran Turismo XL GMT comes in a choice of steel (black dial) or 18K rose gold (slate-grey dial) versions. As an alternative to the tyre-tread rubber version, the strap is also available in Barenia leather, complete with steel or 18K rose gold folding clasp.
