CHOPARD CLASSIC RACING MILLE MIGLIA GTS POWER CONTROL
Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Power Control
The Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Power Control is one of the more expensive and higher-positioned watches in the Chopard brand series. It is dedicated to commemorating the historic Italian automobile event that Chopard has sponsored for thirty consecutive years. let's start.
Mille Miglia Audience Reviewing Mille Miglia watches has always felt like a challenge, and I finally understand why - because aBlogtoWatch is a website dedicated to watch enthusiasts around the world - and Mille Miglia is a website dedicated to car enthusiasts around the world (there are A series designed by people with appetites). for a quality watch). The Chopard Mille Miglia collection therefore has the privilege of living in its own little bubble, one that is constantly inflated by the automotive and classic car enthusiast scene. If you think about it, it's this watch that speaks loudest to many car enthusiasts who are looking for a luxury watch (or, more modestly, "a beautiful watch") to silently pay tribute to their peers. People express that they too have high-octane fluids coursing through their veins. . Although the Rolex Daytona is a watch inspired by racing, is it widely believed to mean the same thing to the wearer? of course not. What's more, basically every other luxury watchmaker that wants to attract car enthusiasts is trying to do so by partnering with car manufacturers - and, at the risk of stating the obvious, this circle is bigger than the car enthusiasts The circle of readers is much narrower, generally speaking. replica Richard Mille Felipe Massa
So that’s how the Mille Miglia race came to be. Miglia The Miglia collection has been simmering in Chopard’s cauldron for a long time, culminating only recently with the introduction of Chopard’s in-house movements in select pieces. Other reference products are available for purchase at lower prices. The Chopard Caliber 01.08-C movement offers a 60-hour power reserve, matches the higher 4 Hz frequency (some competitors abandon this point to achieve such a long power reserve), has COSC certification, and has a unique Chopard aesthetic, Distinguishing it from in-house movements supplied by suppliers to the watch industry.
Mille Miglia audiences love their cars as much or more than their watches. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to find or acquire a good watch, but it does mean that their next watch purchase may be motivated by their love of cars. The average luxury watch your neighbors are wearing won't make them pull out their wallets. Omega has Bond lovers and wannabe astronauts, Rolex has first-time luxury watch buyers and many other segments, and Chopard has car enthusiasts with its Mille Miglia collection, Especially classic car enthusiasts. This is far from a representative survey, but I can safely say that there are plenty of Mille Miglia watches at every major classic car event I've attended in Europe or the United States. a lot of.
Thirty years of Mille Miglia racing and close cooperation with the Porsche Le Mans Team have not been in vain. The Mille Miglia has little competition in its segment and isn't under any pressure from similarly priced dive watches or dress replica mens watches. That's because it offers competitive build quality, sporty specs, and enough unique styling and execution to keep said competitive offering in its rearview mirror.
Specifications and wear resistance Chopard has truly figured out how to make a watch look and feel solid from the inside out. From the dial to the case to the quality of the strap and double-folding clasp, the Mille Miglia GTS feels like a complete package, which is in stark contrast to what some might expect from a "themed" watch. Precisely because this is a "car-inspired" watch, no corners have been cut: everything works as well as it should, and this may be the only watch for many customers. Clearly Chopard understands that if you have the wherewithal to surround yourself with beautiful cars, you're likely to focus on quality - "that's all" won't cut it here.
The huge three-dimensional hour markers and the deep concentric brushed dial exude a sense of quality, and the huge hands sweep across it. Chopard, a company that has long relied on suppliers to produce its watches, now offers a variety of watches with custom details. From the typography to the quality of all parts big and small, from one-off parts like the strap to permanent parts like the movement, the Mille Miglia has become more of its own character than ever – and that’s just as well, since it’s nearly 30 years old years to complete this transformation.
Then again, with ten luxury replica Watches, everyone in their right mind would expect luxurious details – but not every brand can actually see these details throughout the watch. Attention to detail is reflected in the polished sides, brushed top, polished center section, pearlescent pattern on the bridge, and even the folding buckle is beautiful. The strap features stitched leather on the outside and a vintage Dunlop tire pattern on the inside, which has become a signature element of the Mille Miglia and a key, if underrated, element of its success. Personally, I would definitely buy another strap with a pattern on the outside to get the full automotive theme experience.
While Chopard has had its time developing in-house movements for its non-LUC watches, the Mille Miglia GTS more than makes up for the wait. Even though the large bridge dominates the Chopard Caliber 01.08-C movement, the overall look of the caseback combined with the skeletonized rotor and beautiful caseback is worth the money. As we mentioned, results were also in line with reasonable expectations.
One area with plenty of room for improvement is the two-tone versus all-steel models. Swiss luxury watch brands are keen on charging a hefty premium for gold, and the Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Power Control is no exception.
Of course, at 43mm wide and 11.43mm thick, the impressively slim Mille Miglia GTS case looks powerful from every angle, including from the strap profile photo you see directly above. That's some proper machining work. That said, I can't help but feel that for someone who just likes the looks but doesn't care much about the "added prestige" or ease of operation of a bit of gold, such a huge premium would be an annoyance over the Swiss manufacturer's experienced gold. Plot twist: In my opinion, the two-tone version is the best-looking version of the Mille Miglia GTS, rivaled only by the cool Grigio Speciale. Jacob & Co Astronomia Casino replica
It is water-resistant to 10 bar (equivalent to 100 meters) and has a screw-down crown for added security. Aluminum frame inserts aren't very durable - however, using ceramic has almost no impact when surrounded by the notoriously soft 18k gold. If you like classic cars, you probably also like patina, something you just can't get with ceramic inserts. For some, the use of aluminum may be a deal-breaker, while for others its satin look will mean it blends in better with the overall aesthetic compared to the glossy look of ceramic. While I'd love to have the scratch resistance of ceramic, in my opinion aluminum looks better on the GTS than I imagined the forced high-tech aesthetic of ceramic would be.
All in all, the Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Azzurro Power Control is a great looking and tactile watch that exudes quality from every angle, inside and out. Both on first impression and on long-term wear, it feels like a well-thought-out and thoughtful timepiece that clearly has decades of evolution as its foundation. You can't make a watch like this on your first try - not even close.
Essentially, if you are a well-heeled car enthusiast who just wants a nice watch to wear for years to come while extending your primary hobby to a timepiece on your wrist, the Chopard Mille Miglia is a sure bet You won't be disappointed. replica Porsche Design watches
