Chopard presents the Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu – 2026 Racing Edition, a limited and numbered edition of 250 pieces that captures the House’s passion for motorsport through a striking design. Resistance, legibility, and precision mechanics are some of the fundamental features with which Chopard has developed this model. This new Mille Miglia chronometer is deeply rooted in the legacy of the Italian race, of which Chopard has been a sponsor since 1988.
“Chopard’s passion for motorsport is reflected in its historical partnership with the Mille Miglia, the legendary Italian endurance rally that Enzo Ferrari described as “the most beautiful race in the world”. A pioneer among watch manufacturers committed to motor racing, Chopard has been the world sponsor and official timekeeper of the race since 1988. Its co-president, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, has participated in it every year without exception since 1989.
From the first year of partnership, the Mille Miglia watch collection was born, with a first model that laid the foundations of what would become one of Chopard’s most iconic designs. In a very short time, the collection established itself as a highly anticipated annual event: a true collector’s item, each new edition has been enriching a legacy for almost 40 years where watch mechanics meet the spirit of racing. The Mille Miglia models combine the precision of a chronograph designed to meet all the demands of competition with a sophisticated aesthetic capable of seducing far beyond the circle of motorsport enthusiasts.
In addition to the traditional Race Edition, presented every year at the start of the race, the collection stands out for numerous limited series that pay tribute to legendary locations such as the Raticosa Pass; historical anecdotes such as racing colors (the national colors that allowed the origin of a team to be identified at a glance) or even legendary figures such as Jacky Ickx or Sir Stirling Moss. Some editions even pay tribute to prestigious artisans, such as the coachbuilder Zagato. All these tributes reinforce the icon status these watches have acquired among collectors.”

Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu – 2026 Racing Edition
A new model in the Mille Miglia collection, combining striking design, advanced functions, and excellent mechanics, is released in a limited series, reserved for the Italian retail network and Chopard boutiques worldwide.
“With the Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu – 2026 Racing Edition model, we wanted to express what endurance truly means today: reliability, clarity, and mechanical precision, combined with a striking and contemporary design“
Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-President of Chopard
The Grigio-Blu dial is directly inspired by the dashboards of racing cars. Made of brass with a grainy blue-grey finish, its texture and tone evoke the asphalt of racing tracks. Broad typography ensures perfect legibility of the indications. The references to the racing world continue with a power reserve indicator inspired by a fuel gauge. The time is displayed via faceted hands as well as applied metallic indices, all coated with black Super-LumiNova, ensuring optimal legibility both day and night.
The 43 mm case, crafted from Lucent Steel, highlights the robust character of the watch from the very first moment. The proportions of the case are balanced by short, ergonomic lugs that ensure a secure and comfortable fit on the wrist, while a screw-down crown engraved with a steering wheel reinforces the identity of a true racing instrument. Water-resistant up to 100 meters, the watch remains reliable under all circumstances.
At the heart of the watch beats the Chopard calibre 01.08-C, a self-winding mechanical movement designed and manufactured in-house. Certified as a chronometer by the COSC, it ensures high precision. Oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz, this movement offers a comfortable power reserve of 60 hours, as well as a stop-seconds function that allows the time to be set with precision to the second.
The Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio-Blu – 2026 Racing Edition model is presented on a black technical fabric strap reinforced with a rubber lining for greater comfort and durability, paired with a Lucent Steel folding clasp. The tyre-tread pattern on the rubber lining evokes, once again, the automotive tradition of the collection.
