"Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono” 2007

Just have a chance last week to handle this highly sought after piece of the Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono”  Ltd Edition of 2007 pcs in steel, Ref. No :  16/8489  at the Chopard Boutique.

Took a few pictures for your viewing... Enjoy!




The first piece of MM with the hour-indices "6" & "12" printed on the second-surface of the sapphire crystal, creating a 3D effect.


The date magnifier is decently done, without it swollen above the sapphire crystal.


Very slick pushers.... like some aerodynamics profile.





The LE version (steel) only comes with a solid caseback with the map of Mille Miglia race.  The number of this watch was masked.


A closer view of the map.


Signed MM crown with the trademark flanked by the crown protectors.


The signature 1960 Dunlop tire thread patterns strap and the solid ardilon buckle ( pretty macho).





The reverse cyclop...it magnifies very well. The tilting outer-most minute-ring is like a test-track.








Next up is the non limited edition model (16/8459)  ....equally stunning with a Black dial and see-through caseback...

Can you spot the differences in the dial layout, compare to the above LE piece?













Hope you enjoy the pics!
