Chopard MILLE MIGLIA GTS POWER CONTROL CALIFORNIA MILLE 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
Chopard Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph California Mille Edition
For the second year in a row, Chopard has been the official timekeeper and sponsor of the California Miller Race of the Year. California Mille is a 1,000-mile race through the back roads and towns of Northern California. The four-day road adventure pays homage to the Italian Mille race held from 1927 to 1957. In honor of the race, Chopard has released the Chopard Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph California Mille Edition – a watch that’s very “Mille-y” and the brand includes it in its name twice.
The polished stainless steel case is just 42mm in diameter and features a sapphire crystal. I found this to be the perfect size for a racing chronograph. I also think the polished case is comfortable, even if it's not something I would normally use in a sports watch. One of my favorite features in the Mille Miglia line is the putter. The large onion-style crown, with its slightly exaggerated buttons, is aesthetically pleasing and functional, and the racing replica watches price is confusingly giving up more. The watch comes with a leather strap with a rubber underbelly and is water resistant to 50 meters.
However, the dial is where the California Millennium Edition really shines. Influenced by the California state flag, the most visible feature is the red racing stripe around 6 o'clock. Additionally, the green tachymeter contrasts sharply with the dial. Mimicking an old-school dashboard, the silver dial has matching subdials, but has enough texture to not get lost. Overall, the dial looks and feels quintessentially California without any unnecessary California Miller specific branding. This is why I have always admired Chopard limited and special edition watches. Aside from the cutoff index, my only other criticism is the date. I think it should omit the red stripe altogether instead of hindering it.
However, flip the watch over and you'll find the "Republic of California" flag on the sapphire caseback. It's less subtle, and I can already hear complaints about masking motion, but that doesn't bother me. The movement is unspecified, but may be the ETA 2894-2 self-winding chronograph used in previous Mille Miglia watches. The COSC-certified movement has a 42-hour power reserve and a 4 Hz beat.HYT H1 ICEBERG 148-TT-11-BF-RW
I now have four Mille Miglia articles and this is by far my favorite. I have no personal connection to California, but that doesn't stop me from finding this watch to be one of the most fascinating in the collection. It does a great job of bringing the subtle influence of a niche event to a staple watch.
