The Breitling Top Time Racing is engineered for those who appreciate both striking aesthetics and precise functionality, drawing inspiration from the most memorable Top Time designs of the 1960s. Its cushion-shaped case houses a dial featuring a prominent tachymeter scale and unique "squircle" subdials, designed for clear readability in time-sensitive situations. The dial's signature "surfboard" motif, an elliptical element inspired by classic car dashboards and sourced from the Top Time archives, adds a distinctive touch.
The heart of this racing-inspired chronograph is the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a self-winding mechanical movement offering a substantial 70-hour power reserve. This high-performance movement features a chronograph accurate to 1/4 second, with a 30-minute register, and operates at a frequency of 28,800 v.p.h with 34 jewels.
Built for durability and reliability, the watch features a stainless steel case with a securely screwed caseback and a water resistance of 10 bars. It is equipped with a fixed bezel and a non-screw-locked crown with two gaskets for added protection. The cambered sapphire crystal is glare-proofed on both sides to ensure excellent visibility. The watch head weighs approximately 77.5 grams, with a total weight of around 88.73 grams. Its dimensions are a 38 mm diameter, a 13.07 mm thickness, a 44.4 mm lug-to-lug length, and an 18 mm lug width.
It is fitted with a straight green calfskin leather strap, measuring 18 mm at the lugs and tapering to 16 mm at the stainless steel tang buckle.
