The perforated camel-colored calfskin strap, featuring tonal stitching in varying shades, is a testament to the timepiece's development as a classically beautiful race navigator. A unique touch is the strap lining, which features the tread pattern of a 1960s Dunlop tire that fits snugly around the wrist, evoking the beautiful view of the asphalt peeking through the gaps. The Mille Miglia watch truly evokes the pulse of classic racing cars and the tranquil charm of Italy. It's a precise and reliable companion for the machines that will dominate the race.
