Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Chronograph Limited Edition Watch

The dial has some three dimensional qualities with the applied chronograph subdial rings and hour indicators painted with SuperLumiNova. The hands stand out super well for intense legibility. The dial doesn't however lose any of its racing character. You can see the reserve mounted magnifier placed under the crystal for the date window as well.
Movement is a Chronometer certified chronograph automatic, decorated and viewable through the watch's sapphire caseback. I love the traditional 1960s Dunlop tire tread pattern rubber strap that completes the look of one of the nicest racing themed watch collections of all time. Certain a start of Chopard's line up, and again, this Mille Miglia GT XL Chronograph is part of a limited edition only. Price for this Chopard Ref. 168459-6001 is $10,580.

"TACHOMETER" on the tachymeter bezel may be deliberate, given the watch's car-racing theme, but... does anyone else wonder whether it's a spelling mistake? I couldn't bear the possibility of someone noticing the wrong spelling & thinking to themselves that it was the type of thing that gets accidentally overlooked in a cheap chinese knock-off.
Not the kind of feeling you want to have after spending $10,000+.

The watch would be better without the "TACHOMETER" clutter. Does anybody actually use that? If you want an overly busy watch, buy a Breitling.
