Case and Dial
The watch is constructed with a polished three-body stainless steel case, measuring 40 mm in diameter and 13 mm in thickness. The design incorporates curved lugs and a sapphire crystal. A notable feature of the case construction is the case back, which is secured by eight individual screws and serves as a canvas for an engraving depicting the map of the Brescia-Rome circuit. An inclined tachometer bezel is mounted on the case, allowing for speed calculations up to 240 UPH.
The dial is finished in black and is appointed with painted luminous Arabic numerals. It features an outer 1/5th seconds track and subsidiary dials for measuring seconds, 30-minute intervals, and 12-hour intervals. A red 'Mille Miglia 1000' logo is positioned on the dial, and a date aperture is located between the 4 and 5 o'clock positions. The time is displayed via luminous steel baton hands.
