Like clockwork, Chopard is out with their 2022 Mille Miglia 2022 Race Edition, a tribute to the 1000 Miglia classic open-road race, held this year June 15-18. The Chopard men’s watch is in grey and blue, featuring a 44mm case in ethical 18-carat rose gold and stainless steel, as well as an all-steel version. As is usually the case, there’s only a limited number: a 1,000-piece stainless steel limited edition and 250 in stainless steel and ethical 18-carat rose gold.
The movement of the Mille Miglia 2022 Race Edition watch is chronometer-certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute. Chopard has opted to equip this model with an ultra-reliable and well-proven self-winding calibre. It beats at a frequency of 4 Hz and has a 48-hour power reserve, making it an unfailing ally for drivers. The Mille Miglia 2022 Race Edition is rimmed by a thin, slender, intense blue bezel bearing a tachymeter scale.
The 1000 Miglia is celebrating the 40th edition of its re-enactment. The route will be as intense as ever, running from Brescia (Lombardy) to Rome. Chopard has partnered with the race since 1988.
Pricing is $10,300 CAD.

I am a 50-something Torontonian who loves everything about my city. It’s been my home, my playground, for my entire life. I went to school here. I met my wife here. I own real estate here. I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
