Chopard Mille Miglia Jacky Ickx Chrono Mk III functions
The 3rd edition Chopard’s Jacky Ickx Chrono 6/24 was launched in 2002 and is different from the previous two editions by a large date display at 12 o’clock and luminous hands. It also has 24-H chronograph counter at position 6 o'clock for the first time.
CHOPARD Mille Miglia Jacky Ickx 6/24 Chronograph Mk 3
Jacky Ickx’s signature and two chequered racing flags symbolizing his six victories at the 24H of Le Mans are on the case back. The two flags are also on the dial above the date.
The leather strap has three holes to resemble vintage racing gloves and MoMo steering wheels..
Case: 40.5 mm, stainless steel with Jacky Ickx signature on case back and tachymeter scale on bezel.
There is NO label "Fly-back" on the dial but it has that function. [Editor CORRECTION: This is incorrect. Edition 3 did not have flyback function but it had big date and 24-h chronograph counter]
Movement: automatic Dubois Dépraz Caliber 44560 (based on the ETA 2894-2) with 42-hour power reserve and C.O.S.C. certification
Functions: hours, minutes, seconds; large date, chronograph; 24-hour/second time zone display
Limited Edition: 1,000 pieces in stainless steel and 250 pieces in rose gold.
Price in 2004: was $6,095 for the stainless steel version.
The fly back function button sequence is as you described. Alas - you have a problem...Houston?!? [Editor Correction: No flyback specified]

MTF

My Second Chopard
This little beauty arrived just a few minutes ago. A Jacky Ickx 3rd edition. It's a used one, naturally and not completely mint, but I don't care because it's beautiful......
Definately on my list
With a 24h sub-dial, it is one of the chronographs that shall one day be part of my collection. May I ask what attracted you to your beautiful Jacky Ickx model? What do you like most? Big congrats and wishing you a wonderful time with the new piece. Best ...
Thanks
Yes, I do love the 24 hour marker, it's very unique. I can't really lie in being attracted by the price of this one - there's no denying that it's a used watch and not really one of the more investable of models (the V3 isn't the XL size and doesn't have ...
Jacky Ickx Le Mans paraphenalia for you
theaperture, Here are a few Jacky Ickx 24H Le Mans souvenirs to go with your watch. The 24-Hour chronograph counter is pretty unique and we asked for it in the L.U.C 1963 Chrono PuristS Edition; alas, it was not allowed! Read a Conversation with Jacky Ick...
...
Thanks MTF for the wealth of extra value you've brought. Really nice to see those cars.
You really asked for it in the 1963 PuristS edition?
I would have appreciated the idea indeed! Assuming that design of the movement did not allow for any other gear ratio, but 24h sub-dial is something which I only know from Chopard, actually... BR, kolosstt
YES I did but it was rejected for two reasons
The L.U.C 1963 Collection was a 50th anniversary "gift" to Mama and Papa Scheufele who took on Chopard in 1963. Thus, it had design motifs from that era viz. Roman numerals for normal time and Arabic numerals for chronograph displays. Both the rose gold a...
I am still tempted by the result, ...
... but as you know, I let go of the desire some while ago. Besides any engineering and resource consideration, I would also understand that the 1963 should always be identifiable as such. Therefore, no change to hour counter is understandable. Thanks for...
A quick question for MTF (or others)
Just something I've noticed while testing out the functions. The manual that comes with the watch of course covers other models, so I could be mis-reading here. As far as I understand it, Jacky wanted his editions to have a flyback chronograph - I know th...
Chopard Mille Miglia Jacky Ickx Chrono Mk III functions

Thanks again
Would it be possible for you to verify the flyback function for the 3rd edition? I ask this because while the chrono is in action, the bottom pusher feel as though there's an intentional mechanical block to stop it being pressed. This is the same as for m...
I repeat: If you have the Jacky Ickx signature Mille Miglia 6/24 Mk III chronograph
It should have the flyback function. [ Editor CORRECTION: No flyback function specified for Edition 3.] [Editor's NOTE: Conversely, Edition 5 is a flyback but that is not printed on the dial either.] There is no signed version without flyback. it would be...
Thank you again
You mean like this? I assume this is correct. I think that as the 24 hour chronograph works as it should, this can only be the correct movement. ...
Ok then
I've contacted the seller (a watch dealer on eBay) with a view to getting this repaired. I appreciate the irony that this is now my second Chopard, and both have issues with the bottom pusher...
Your watches had hard lives before you bought them
theaperture, Ha! Usually the issue is with the upper pusher... Chopard Mille Miglia Chrono But seriously, this watch had just been through thousands of miles in the open air on the Peking-Paris Rally. You can read the report in the link below: Chopard spo...
Full speed ahead...!
Wow, that's quite a road trip, I'd love to be a part of that! I've been in contact with the seller who has been really good in offering to take the watch back under warranty and have it looked at by his independent guy. Given the complicated nature of the...
Response from Chopard
Last week, I contacted Chopard via their website to ask about the flyback feature for this edition (not that I mistrust any experience here, but "official" words weigh more than forum members when it comes to warranty issues). Response (so far): "Thank yo...
CORRECTION: Flyback function did not appear until Chopard Mille Miglia Jacky Ickx 6/24 Edition 4
Forumners, Apologies that I was travelling and did not have my reference books last weekend. I checked upon my return yesterday. The perpetuated error on the InterWeb from other online so-called "sources" is that Chopard Mille Miglia Chrono Jacky Ickx edi...
No problem!
Thanks again for the clarification. I think that maybe the wasp in the jelly of this series is the second edition, which has "flyback" indicated on the dial but no large date. I guess that Chopard wanted the big date for the number 3, but couldn't for som...
Which Jacky Ickx edition is the most collectible
hi guys. I'm a novice to Chopard jacky Ickx but love the watches. I'm planning on buying one but wanted to know which edition is the most collectible and is likely to rise in price. I've noticed that there are hardly any edition 3's in steel available. An...
Congrats !!
looks great on you. From the pic it looks pretty mint Enjoy in the best of health Cheers Robin
You are very like to have this one as you will not worry about scratches.
You can enjoy it right away as it is near perfect but just enough life that you will start to enjoy it right away. Family shot required. Bill
Much nicer than Chopard's new models.
They should look back to this design for inspiration. Congrats!
