Zagato,
a name eponymous with ultimate driving machines is a direct evocation
of style and performance. This first collaboration between Zagato and
Chopard fuses Italian racing design DNA with Swiss mechanical
perfection, conjuring up an incredibly desirable limited-edition of the iconic Mille Miglia.
The result is an exclusive yet authentic watch, the marriage of Italian
passion and Swiss know-how, bound together by the love of classic
motorsports.

This limited edition Mille Miglia
benefits from the respective skills of these two prestigious Houses
that both nurture a passion for cars. We handle the execution, the
‘engine’ part and the chassis, while Zagato participates in creating the
bodywork, the ‘passenger compartment’ and the upholstery.
The Mille Miglia Zagato
is issued in a 500-piece limited series for the black DLC-coated steel
version and the same number for the two-tone version with an 18-carat
rose gold finish. It is available in Chopard boutiques around the world.

The ‘engine’ is a self-winding
chronograph movement also offering the useful date and dual-time
complications. This calibre, which generally drives the Mille Miglia
watches, is officially certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer
Testing Institute, the COSC, a sure token of its high-precision rating.
With its 42.5 mm steel case using DLC
coating treatment – chosen for its extreme scratch-resistance- the watch
comes in two variations: one all-black and the other fitted with a rose
gold bezel featuring a red insert bearing the 24-hour dual-time
graduation.
Whether you opt for the steel or the all-black version, the watch is infused with classic Zagato signature features.

The start/stop chronograph pusher
matches the colour of the bezel – either black or in rose gold. It both
versions, it has a red-lacquered tip, a nod to the symbolic colour of
both Zagato and the Mille Miglia. The upholstery (the strap) echoes the
architecture of the ‘double bubble’ roof, while the bright red stitching
on the leather is another classic Zagato signature feature.

The Milanese automotive designer’s
triumphant Z logo composes the motif adorning the crown and also forms
the fine grey technical grid pattern occupying the entire surface of the
‘passenger compartment’ – meaning the dial. The fonts on the latter as
well as on the bezel were also specially designed for the occasion.
Visible sharper and more angular, they epitomise the sporting and
design-focused spirit of this cooperative effort.

It is safe to say that Zagato’s name has
long entered the Hall of Fame of mechanical sports and its mere
evocation will fill car enthusiasts elicits irrepressible desirability.
Since 1919, the atelier founded by Ugo Zagato in Milan has created some
of the most applauded and iconic automotive bodyworks. Zagato’s name is
associated with the greatest car manufacturers including Italian legends
Ferrari, Lancia and Maserati, but also Aston Martin and Bentley.
Classic car specialists will also recall that Zagato-bodied Alfa Romeos
won 4 Mille Miglias in 1928, 1929, 1930 and 1933.

Chopard timepieces are intimately bound up with the field of motorsports. Its enduring commitment as sponsor and official timekeeper of the Mille Miglia
is now into its 25th year and is underwritten by the actual
participation in the race of Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, co-president of
the Geneva-based firm and himself a keen driver and collector of classic
cars. It was along the route of the legendary Italian car rally that he
met Andrea Zagato, who heads the family company.
