Antique car road race is about to begin

In June 2025, the 38th Mille Miglia antique car road race is about to kick off. As the official partner and official timekeeper of the event, Chopard will provide professional timing services for the event. There will be more than 400 classic racing cars participating in this competition. All participating models are replicas of the models that participated in the Mille Miglia antique car road race before 1957. Although they are replicas, these racing cars still maintain the status of prototypes in many details. For antique car fans, this is undoubtedly a visual and auditory feast.

The Mille Miglia antique car road race has been held since 1927. It was originally an annual road race, and then gradually evolved into a multi-day rally. Drivers need to strictly follow the prescribed average speed in each stage to complete the race, otherwise they will be penalized. For participating drivers and teams, this is not only a competition of speed, but also a competition of intelligence and strategy.

As one of the three major classic rallies in the world, the Mille Miglia antique car road race attracts many racing enthusiasts to watch and participate. The challenge and sense of history of the event deeply attracted them, and antique car culture was also spread and carried forward in such events.

Launch of new watches

At the upcoming 38th Mille Miglia antique car road race, Chopard will launch a limited edition of the Mille Miglia Classic chronograph, which is a global limited edition of 70 watches. The design of the watch is inspired by the brilliant achievements of Sir Stirling Moss. During the event, Chopard will hold unveiling ceremonies of new watches in Brescia. This is not only a commemoration of the racing legend, but also a display of high-end watchmaking craftsmanship.

Mr. Carl Friedrich Schaefer, Co-President of Chopard, will personally participate in the event. He will drive a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwin racing car painted in “Metallic Raspberry” color. Maybe many people are not familiar with this model, but if you mention the gull wings in the Mercedes-Benz 300SL sports car, then everyone should have heard of it. This car became a legend in the automotive industry at that time with its unique gull-wing door design, and its performance was the best among the world’s top sports cars at that time.

With the gradual deepening of the antique car road race, we are looking forward to more exciting moments and hope that this feast of speed and passion can bring us a different experience.
