• Description

  Breitling Top Time B01 Triumph

  The 1960s were a decade of experimentation, fun, freedom and energy. The watchword for those days was to live life at maximum speed: riding a motorbike for long journeys, or aboard a sports car. Willy Breitling sensed this change of pace and decided to design an unconventional chronograph that would capture the verve of the period. And he called it Top Time. That spirit-filled tradition continues today with the collaboration between Breitling and some of the motoring world's most iconic brands to create Top Time designs. The result of a collaboration with the historic British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph, this watch features a distinctive ice blue dial. The peculiar color recalls exactly the blue of a 1951 Triumph Thunderbird 6T and a rare Breitling Top Time, ref. 815 from the 1970s with a blue dial. Collectors will definitely notice some other references to vintage Breitling models, such as the retro logo, mushroom chronograph buttons and the “Zorro” design dial. The bow tie motif introduced on Top Time in the 1960s (and with a nickname celebrating the mask of the cunning swordsman) has been subtly integrated with a brushed metal finish that creates a radiant play of light and textures. The design features a Triumph emblem at 6 o'clock, a tachymeter scale for measuring speed and contrasting "squircle" dials (not quite square, not quite round) that recall vintage dashboard rev counters. Under the hood, it also has a new engine to boast about: the stunning Breitling-manufactured caliber 01.
