Each year, Chopard releases a new mens luxury watch from its Mille Miglia collection to celebrate the historic Mille Miglia run from Brescia to Rome. The auto race, which has occurred annually since 1927, is a prestigious competition that is acknowledged by connoisseurs as “la corsa pi? bella del mondo,” or “the most beautiful race in the world.” Chopard has been associated with the event since 1988, and this year the luxury watch brand released the Mille Miglia GMT Chrono 2012 to celebrate the race which occurred from May 17 to May 20 in Italy.

Chopard continually releases new editions of the watch to perfect the classic version and provide the best of the best to its consumers. This year’s edition of the watch features a self-winding movement chronometer with a stop seconds function to guarantee a highly accurate time-setting. Certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute, the chronometer provides an extremely useful dual-time function to project the hour in two different time zones.
