Chopard watches
Classic Racing
The Chopard Classic Racing collection was born from the maison’s deep-rooted connection with motorsport, established in 1988 when Chopard became the official timekeeper of the legendary Mille Miglia.
About the Classic Racing Collection
With its Classic Racing line, Chopard combines the fascination of beautiful mechanics with sporty performance—a symbiosis that makes the collection truly unique. The partnership, driven by co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele’s personal passion for classic cars, created a lasting bridge between high watchmaking and the world of vintage racing. At the heart of this collection lies the Chopard Mille Miglia, a chronograph line that captures the essence of speed, precision, and sporting elegance. Inspired by the aesthetics of classic dashboards, the watches feature tachymeter scales, bold cases, and chronograph complications designed for pinpoint timekeeping on the racetrack.
Their technical mastery is underscored by chronometer-certified movements, ensuring both Swiss precision and reliability. Each piece embodies the spirit of the historic 1,000-mile Brescia–Rome endurance race—described by Enzo Ferrari as the most beautiful race in the world—making the Mille Miglia as iconic as the cars themselves.
Over the years, the collection has evolved to include standout models such as the Mille Miglia GTS and the Mille Miglia Gran Turismo XL, both modern, sporty interpretations with powerful aesthetics for lovers of bold sports watches. To celebrate each annual running of the race, Chopard also unveils exclusive limited editions, offered in different case sizes, dial colors, and strap variations, ensuring that the Mille Miglia remains not only a tribute to racing heritage but also a versatile and collectible line within Chopard’s portfolio.
