GMT Watch Safari 2025
A 25-piece limited series for GMT’s 25th anniversary
As part of the GMT Watch Safari 2025, which enables readers from around the world to discover a dozen cutting-edge Manufactures, GMT unveils the 1000 Miglia GMT & BMC – a 25-piece limited edition featuring a safari theme – during a visit to Chopard.
This is the first time that Chopard has designed a triply exclusive 25-piece limited series of the 1000 Miglia, featuring a completely new frosted safari beige dial on the front, while the back reveals a caliber different from the current collection.
The COSC-certified self-winding movement stands out with its automotive-inspired decoration and a 60-hour power reserve, displayed on an indicator reminiscent of a fuel gauge. The racing references continues on a perforated brown calfskin leather strap, with a black rubber lining finished to resemble a tire, as well as on the screw-lock crown engraved with a steering wheel. This is a logical source of inspiration for the 1000 Miglia, especially as the limited edition is produced in partnership with the Bonmont Motors Club, of which Chopard’s Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele is a member and whose founders are passionate watch enthusiasts.
The harmonious design of this collector's timepiece incorporates contrasts that enhance its readability, including hour-markers and hands painted with black Super-LumiNova® to echo the aluminum insert on the bezel. The 100-meter water-resistant case and folding clasp are cast in Lucent Steel™, a Chopard-patented eco-circular alloy.
While participants in the GMT Watch Safari and members of the Bonmont Motors Club were the first to see this new model, a third of this micro-production is reserved for other GMT readers.
