Swiss manufacturer Breitling was founded in the Swiss Jura in 1884 by Léon Breitling, a man dedicated to crafting precision chronographs and timers. Today, Breitling remains a leader in creating sturdy, reliable, and high-performance instruments that are especially beloved by those involved in air/water sports and commercial aviation. In addition to their own celebrated movements, in 2017 Breitling began coproduction of movements with the Rolex-owned brand Tudor. 

For classic vintage inspiration without gimmickry we present the supremely styled Top Time by Breitling.

The warmly colored brown dial invites us to investigate its capabilities. Look for a small seconds at 9 as well as chronograph functions that include a center arm as well as a 30-minute counter at 3 and a 12-hour counter at 6.

Unique “squircle” subdials recall vintage dashboard stylings and will serve as a conversation piece to be sure. Luminous hands and markers make viewing in low light a breeze and you can measure speeds with the handy tachymeter scale upon the outer edge of the dial.

The luxurious 18K rose gold case measures 41 mm in diameter, 13 mm in height, and rests upon a sporty perforated brown calfskin leather strap with a deployant buckle. Additional case features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a push / pull winding crown, and a rating down to 100 m / 10 atm.

Through the screwed-down exhibition case back you can check out the Breitling 01 movement in action. This certified chronometer movement is a self-winding automatic mechanical manufacture caliber that bets at 28,800 vph, has 40 jewels, and gives you 70 hours of power.

From its handsome stylings to its legendary accuracy and attention to detail, we believe this Breitling Top Time B01 Chronograph will make an essential addition to your collection.

Standout feature(s): Certified chronometer accuracy; convenient 70-hour power reserve; luxurious 18K rose gold case.
