The Chopard Mille Miglia Chronograph Ref. 8511 is a striking tribute to one of the most romantic and demanding events in motorsport history, the legendary Mille Miglia road race in Italy. Produced in a limited edition of just 2,009 pieces worldwide, this model commemorates the spirit and heritage of the 2009 Mille Miglia, an event that celebrates the iconic 1,000-mile race from Brescia to Rome and back. As the official timekeeper of the Mille Miglia, Chopard has long honored this historic competition with timepieces that embody precision, endurance, and classic automotive style.

This example features an elegant grey dial with contrasting subdials, bold Arabic numerals, and luminous hands for excellent legibility. The chronograph layout is complemented by a tachymeter scale, reinforcing its racing pedigree, while subtle red accents evoke the dashboard instruments of vintage competition cars. The stainless steel case offers a balanced wrist presence, paired with the signature rubber strap inspired by 1960s Dunlop racing tires, an unmistakable Mille Miglia design cue. Powered by a certified chronometer movement, this watch delivers both performance and reliability, living up to Chopard’s reputation for fine Swiss craftsmanship.

For the collector or enthusiast, the Ref. 8511 represents far more than a chronograph, it is a wearable piece of motorsport history, combining limited production exclusivity with timeless racing aesthetics.
