Chopard's fascination with the world of historical cars is legendary. And the Classic Racing Superfast Chrono Split Second just goes to prove this point. Everything about this timepiece is reminiscent of motor sports of the yore. Chronometer-certified by the COSC, the strap on this Chopard is made of natural rubber and fitted with a folding clasp. The dial resembles those on the counters on vintage racing cars, while the minute markers on the flange are replicas of the numerals adorning the rev counters and speedometers. Housed in a 45 mm-diameter DLC blackened steel case, the real star of this watch is the split-second chronograph, that gives the precise split second count that is so important in motor sports.
