Roar out of the golden age of American cruisers and onto your wrist. Dreamed up by Breitling and Ford, this Top Time salutes the 1955 Thunderbird, the first generation classic bird cabriolet. Made for the vintage car lover who still hears rock and roll when the engine turns over.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Finished in crisp grained ivory, the dial pairs a teal Thunderbird wing with a racing red center hand for a true classic dashboard look. Carved from polished and brushed stainless steel, the 41mm case flashes gloss and matte as your wrist rolls. Wrapped in red perforated racing calfskin, the strap grips like a driving glove and throws a bold pop of color against the ivory. Printed on the underside of the sapphire caseback, a tiny Thunderbird badge floats over the movement, a wink only you get to see.
Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, and chronograph. The push-pull crown on the right winds and sets the watch, so wind it first while it sits flush against the case if the watch has rested, then pull it out to set the hands. The top-right pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom-right pusher zeroes it. Powered by the in house Breitling Caliber 01, a certified chronometer, it holds about 70 hours and shrugs off water to 100 meters.
Comes as a complete set, boxed with a warranty card and travel pouch.
Rebel energy runs deep here, born when Willy Breitling built Top Time for the swinging sixties to live at full speed. Now it charges back with Detroit muscle and a white-on-white racing look styled exclusively for the classic Ford Thunderbird. Whether you love Route 66 or just the idea of it, a piece this spirited was never built to idle.
