Chopard Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph Owner Review : Sporty, elegant and classic

For car and racing enthusiasts, the Chopard Mille Miglia is one of the most famous timepieces. In this Classic Chronograph version, it is particularly elegant. The black background, the steel case, the harmonious proportions (42mm), the transparent background on the automatic movement, and the famous rubber strap reproducing the design of Dunlop tires characterize it and make it easily recognizable. The small red Mille Miglia logo and the tip of the chronograph hand (also red) bring a small touch of sportiness. It is equipped with a COSC-certified automatic chrono movement, with a 42-hour power reserve. The functions offered are the chronograph seconds hand, a 30-minute counter, a 12-hour counter, hours and minutes, small seconds and date. On the back, the transparent background reveals the oscillating weight. We find again the inscription in red 1000 MIGLIA. I was lucky enough to win this watch at the Porsche Casting in Deauville, an event organized by the Porsche Normandy Club. The case back is engraved with the name of the event. I have had this watch since May 2019, and I take great pleasure in wearing it. It is very pleasant with a suit and a shirt, it is easily forgotten, but it is also pleasant on the weekend in a more sporty version. Its reliability amazes me every day: no delays, a power reserve that in my opinion almost exceeds the 42 hours announced, I only had a problem once by having lost a push button of the chrono. The Chopard Service was impeccable and I got it back free of charge, after 15 days, impeccably serviced. A very nice customer experience.
