It is this athletic achievement that is remembered this month with a limited edition chronograph called the Missoni 331 after the number he wore on his vest at the Olympic Games, five years before he created his fashion business.<\/p>\n

The watch, produced in a run of 331 units, has a monochrome dial etched with the Missoni chevron pattern, which is also carried through to the steel bracelet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are two chronograph counter sub dials and a small seconds that has the number 133 in blue.<\/p>\n

The sporty 44.5mm steel chronograph houses an automatic Dubois D\u00e9praz movement, which can be seen through a transparent case back.<\/p>\n

It goes on sale this month at Missoni stores and authorised retailers.<\/p>\n
