Chopard Mille Miglia Split-Second Chronograph 168995-3002 – Limited Edition of 1000 Pieces

The Chopard Mille Miglia Split-Second Chronograph Ref. 168995-3002 is a remarkable timepiece designed as part of Chopard’s long-standing tribute to the legendary Mille Miglia endurance race. Produced in a limited series of 1000 pieces, this chronograph encapsulates the spirit of vintage racing while blending modern Swiss watchmaking excellence.

The watch features a large 44mm stainless steel case with polished and brushed finishing, exuding both elegance and sportiness. The round case is complemented by Chopard’s signature black rubber strap patterned like 1960s Dunlop racing tires, a nod to classic motorsport heritage. A tachymeter scale is engraved on the bezel, allowing precise speed calculations during racing events.

The rubber strap with tire-tread motif is paired with a stainless steel pin buckle, securing the watch comfortably while enhancing its vintage racing feel. 

The black dial with contrasting silver sub-dials offers perfect legibility and racing-inspired aesthetics. The tricompax layout includes:

30-minute counter at 12 o’clock

12-hour counter at 6 o’clock

small seconds at 9 o’clock

date display at 3 o’clock, with the signature red Mille Miglia “1000 Miglia” arrow logo.

Large luminous hands and indices ensure readability in all lighting conditions, while the central chronograph hand is accented by a red arrow tip.

Rattrapante (Split-Seconds) Chronograph

The highlight of this model is its split-seconds chronograph (rattrapante) function, enabling the wearer to time two separate intervals simultaneously—a highly technical complication celebrated in motorsport-inspired watchmaking. The additional pusher at 10 o’clock controls the split-seconds hand, making this watch both mechanically fascinating and functionally advanced.
