True Rosso Corsa
Since the 1920s, Italian race cars from Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia, Abarth and Ferrari were painted in rosso corsa ("racing red").
The orange-tinged red that you like may be that used by Ferrari for their F1 Grand Prix cars between 1996 - 2007 to compensate for colour balance on old television screens.
The original Rosso Corsa may appear dark brown on inferior television screens.
True Rosso Corsa returned to Italian race cars since the 2007 Monaco Grand Prix, coinciding with increasing HDTV ownership.
CHOPARD Mille Miglia 2015 Race Edition watch is nearer to traditional Rosso Corsa.

CHOPARD Mille Miglia 2015 Race Edition watch revealed
New Chopard Mille Miglia 2015 Race watch: Photos exposed. Brescia, 13 May 2015 Chopard presents the much speculated, sporty watch, dedicated to the Mille Miglia classic car race, for which it has been serving as partner and official timekeeper since 1988....
I guessed
power reserve and racing strap I also mentioned red accents on dial well....errrr...sort of I guessed that too :) Best looking MM so far for me Thank you for photos Sincerely Damjan
Da Judge is displeased
Da Judge (RED Dachshund) is not a happy puppy. She had hoped the big hint of her colour was a clue that people would pick up. ;) MTF ...
Got at least some of it right
I believe I also guessed a time only design, power reserve and in house movement, date as well as a SS version (forgot about the rose gold variety). Wrong on the strap and colour :(
This is a Mille Miglia that I want ...
Undecided between the limited and the regular version. Any idea about when they arrive on the regular AD? Cheers, Nilo
Usually Chopard target sales after the Race
So expect stocks from 18 May 2015 but of course, it will trickle down in a wave from Chopard boutiques, big dealers and into small shops. It depends on your country transport logistics. I expect Geneva, Paris, London and New York to get them before Recife...
Bold and in-house movement -- two qualities not seen together in a race edition Chopard Mille MIglia before this one.
I like the red dial very much, and to see the 01.08-C movement in a race edition for the first time is very exciting. Bravo Chopard! Best, CaliforniaJed
I don't have a red dial watch.....yet. :o)
It may be time to consider a red dial watch... Its my favourite colour as you may have guessed from my previous comments here. Time to get a 'simple' power reserve watch? One can have too many chronographs in the vintage style. Or maybe not...... Regards,...
Shame on you MTF
I'm provoked to say that gold and grey chrono should be shown MUCH MORE on this forum!
Very nice edition here.
The movement is a big plus. Is the red dial a true red or more of an Italian red-orange color? In the wrist photo it looks to have some orange, which I like.

Thanks for the report, very cool MM! Does the
standard edition also have the exhibition back? I really like them both in Stainless. Best, Tim
CHOPARD Mille Miglia 2015 Race and Regular Editions
timerider, Indeed, the general "rule" at Chopard although not mandatory is that case backs are see through if the movement is in-house. Of course, Diving watches have solid case backs for obvious reasons. Chopard Mille Miglia 2015 Race Edition steel Chopa...
I prefer the steel version
I'm not a fan of the PG & red dial combo. But in steel, the watch is gorgeous! Thanks Melvyn! Fx
