Breitling Top Time B01: Retro Adrenaline Returns with a Taste of Competition

In the colorful 1960s, Willy Breitling innovated with the Top Time line, automotive-inspired chronographs. Today, the new Top Time B01 collection fuses that retro spirit with modern performance

.  

Legacy of the '60s on the Wrist

The original Top Time watches marked an era of bold design. The new collection honors that legacy with key features: cushion case, tachymeter scale, "squircle" subdials, and the distinctive" surfboard" motif.  

 

                                 

 

Top Time B01 Racing: Pure Essence of Racing

The "Racing" collection offers two variants:

  • Black and White: Classic legibility with a beige perforated calfskin leather strap.

  • Green and White: Vibrant and bold with a green perforated calfskin leather strap.

Both, limited to 750 pieces, capture the thrill of vintage motorsport.

Top Time B01 Martini Racing: A Motor Sport Icon

The star is the Top Time B01 Martini Racing. With the legendary blue, light blue, and red stripes of Martini Racing on a white dial, it glorifies one of the most celebrated liveries in motorsport. Limited to 750 units with an engraved case back.

Modern Power: Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01

All three models integrate the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified chronometer with a 70-hour power reserve, combining retro aesthetics with current precision.  

Exclusive Modern-Retro

The Top Time B01 collection achieves a flawless "modern-retro" combination. Its emblematic design benefits from current materials and technology. The limited edition of 750 pieces per variant increases its appeal.

Who Are These Top Time Watches For?

Ideal for collectors, motorsport enthusiasts, and those who value a characteristic design with extraordinary performance.

The Breitling Top Time B01 collection brings back the adrenaline of the '60s with a modern touch and, in the case of the Martini Racing, an unmistakable taste of legendary competition. Which of these swift contenders appeals to you the most?
