The Chopard Mille Miglia 16/8331 is a precision chronograph that pays homage to the legendary Italian endurance race, the Mille Miglia. Part of Chopard’s long-standing partnership with the classic car rally, this model reflects a fusion of Swiss horological expertise and automotive spirit.
Case and Dimensions Crafted in high-grade stainless steel, the case measures 39mm in diameter and approximately 12mm in thickness, offering a balanced wrist presence that suits both modern and vintage preferences. The solid case construction features a screw-down case back engraved with the Mille Miglia logo and limited edition numbering.
Dial and Hands The dial is available in classic silver or black configurations, enhanced by tri-compax chronograph sub-dials located at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. Bold Arabic numerals and luminescent hands ensure readability under all conditions. A tachymeter scale on the outer chapter ring reinforces the racing inspiration, ideal for measuring average speed.
Movement Inside, the 16/8331 is powered by a COSC-certified automatic chronograph movement—typically based on the ETA 2894-2, customized and finely regulated by Chopard. This self-winding calibre operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and delivers a 42-hour power reserve. The chronograph offers precise timing functions with start, stop, and reset via polished pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock.
Crystal and Water Resistance The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, providing durability and clarity. It offers **50 meters (5 ATM) of water resistance**, suitable for everyday wear and light exposure to water.
Strap The Mille Miglia 16/8331 is paired with a black rubber strap embossed with a vintage Dunlop tire tread pattern—a signature element of the Mille Miglia line. It closes with a stainless steel tang buckle, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
