One of the most fascinating models is the Mille Miglia 2020 Race Edition that revisited the full-black theme with a bead blasted, Diamond-like Carbon (DLC)-treated case, matt black varnished dial and contrasting ‘vintage yellow’ markings. An essential feature in the heat of the action, when driving requires full attention in case of bad weather or night-time arrivals.
The Mille Miglia 2020 Race Edition available in two models: 1,000 in bead blasted DLC-treated stainless steel and 250 in two-tone bead blasted DLC-treated stainless steel and ethical 18-carat rose gold. In this article, we are going to explore more about the 18-carat rose gold bezel model.
This watch is adorned with dials that come with matte black-varnished and enlivened with yellow accents. With the yellow marks coming to the fore, the tonal contrast is magnificent. This shade of yellow has a somewhat worn look to it, which fits in nicely with the desired old automobile motif.
The yellow inlay lines the faceted metallic black hour and minute hands, while the hours are marked by strong Arabic numerals saturated with ‘ultra-bright Super-LumiNova®’. A tiny seconds counter is located at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter is located at 6 o’clock, and a 30-minute counter is located at 9 o’clock.
The Chopard Mille Miglia 2020 Race Edition case is made of DLC-treated stainless steel that has been bead blasted. The model is given an air of understatement by the scratch-resistant surface. The size of the Mille Miglia 2020 Race Edition is 42mm, which avoids excessive sizing and should fit most wrists.
Inside the case, there’s a certified chronometer self-winding movement with a frequency of 28,800 vph and fitted with 37 jewels and power reserve for up to 42 hours. The oscillating weight is decorated with Côtes de Genève motif, meanwhile the device bridge and mainplate are embellished with perlage.
