Chopard - Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Time Attack MF
Embodying far more than just a remarkable accurate multifunctional instrument, this model also reflects a distinctive aesthetic approach to technology. The new Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Time Attack MF offers a perfect blend of design and function.
Since 2002, Chopard and the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique have been united in a shared love of beautiful mechanisms, along with the tireless pursuit of precision and rigorous discipline. Boldness can now be added to this list of common denominators: for the very first time since the creation of its collection dedicated to the prestigious historical car race, Chopard is launching a digital chronograph radiating an aura of distinctive elegance inspired by the powerful designs of the 1970s. The new Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Time Attack MF is bound to delight speed fans, who will be able to measure short times to within one hundredth of a second, and also features an impressive array of other functions.
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, which was first held in 1998 during the commemorations of the reigning Grimaldi dynasty's 700th anniversary, was initially intended to be a one-off event. However, the wave of enthusiasm surrounding this happening led organisers to repeat the event every two years. It takes place on the same route as the Monaco Grand Prix itself, which has changed minimally since its creation on April 14th 1929 and runs along the streets and quaysides of the Principality.
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique is regarded as the most important historical car race and attracts seasoned automobile collectors, mainly from the USA, Germany, France and Italy. Over 200 cars having made their mark on their respective eras take part in each edition: models by Delage, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari, and even the early Formula 1 cars (those built before 1979) from Brabham, Lotus or Williams.
Speed enthusiasts naturally need an extremely accurate chronograph. The new Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Time Attack MF is thus equipped with the latest-generation 'Swiss made' quartz movement, chronometer-certified by the COSC.
In addition to the hours, minutes and seconds indicated by central hands, this watch also displays the date, countdown, second time-zone, two alarms (local time and second time-zone) and 100th second chronograph functions. All of these are operated by two multifunction pushbuttons at 2 and 4 o'clock, and are visible on a digital screen at 6 o'clock. A tachometric scale engraved around the bezel sets the finishing touch to this exceptional multifunctional instrument.
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Time Attack MF features a black dial. The 1970s inspiration of this model is reflected in the generous hour-markers and the bright orange second hand. This fascinating decade is also liable to influence the future models in this collection. In addition to the steel version, the 42.5 mm case is also available in 18-carat rose gold. It can be fitted with a strap in leather or rubber with a 1960s Dunlop Racing tyre-tread motif, as well as a steel bracelet variation.
