Two brands complete milestone years in growth and existence. And for the 150th and 100th anniversary celebrations of Chopard and Alfa Romeo respectively, the two have come together for limited edition series of watches and clocks. Available in stainless steel or stainless steel coated with Diamond like Carbon, the Gran Turismo XL Alfa Romeo and the GT XL Chrono Alfa Romeo chronographs come with black dial accented with red hands and indeces along with the brand logos.

A brand fully dedicated to surprising its most loyal customers with new and fancy looking timepieces, Chopard has managed to revive the scene of watch manufacturing ever since its foundation year, back in 1860. Enjoying a tradition of excellence, Chopard has become amongst the oldest and most acclaimed watch brands on the market, due to its motivated and passion-driven team of designers and manufacturers that have worked together into taking this brand to the heights of its success. The new timepiece released on the market by Chopard is a sporty watch, but which doesn't lack elegant and delicate design lines. A combination between sporty and casual, the new Chopard 1000 Miglia GT XL Chrono Speed Black watch is made of stainless steel and 18 K rose gold, applied on its bezel, pushers and crown. Its case made of stainless steel is DLC treated to provide a unique and more elegant black appearance that matches perfectly with the gold detailing and it measures 44 mm in diameter. Although a bit masculine, the watch is quite slim and it doesn't appear big or too opulent when worn on the wrist. The watch maintains some of the features specific to Chopard, amongst these we can mention the tachymeter bezel and the sporty rubber strap, with a tire-inspired design theme. Being equipped with a tachymeter, the watch also provides an amazing water resistance of 100 meters. The case of the Chopard 1000 Miglia GT XL Chrono Speed Black watch is covered in sapphire crystal, both its top and its back, material prepared with the help of the most advanced techniques to make it durable, scratch resistant and shock-resistant. The dial of the new Chopard 1000 Miglia GT XL Chrono Speed Black watch displays its features in a very elegant and harmonious manner, offering a high level of visibility. The main functions are indicated through thick indicators which are luminescent, this property assuring reliability during night time. The dial is adorned with the Chopard logo present at the 3 o'clock position, over-sized Arabic numerals at the 6 o'clock position and the 12 o'clock, while its other fundamental functions are displayed in the three sub-dials of the main plate. Another indispensable function is the date window, located at the 3 o'clock position.No matter the design approach, every watch created by Chopard is the embodiment of mechanical expertise and technical excellence. The new Chopard 1000 Miglia GT XL Chrono Speed Black watch has a self-winding movement activated by a Valjoux 7750 Caliber equipped with a chronograph function. This mechanism is amongst the most reliable mechanisms and it provides 48 hours of power resistance.Chopard has initially estimated a number of 500 pieces to be distributed and sol worldwide, but the huge success of this watch will eventually force the brand to produce more editions. The watch is available on a black rubber strap imitating a tire and providing the design of the watch with a more sporty and extreme aspect. The logo of the brand is also present on the clasp which secures the strap on the wrist. Chopard 1000 Miglia GT XL Chrono Speed Black Watch Pictures Gallery
