Speed, style, and rebellion have defined the Top Time since the 60’s. Cheeky enough for James Bond in Thunderball, this piece blends that retro charm with a modern edge. Built for the young at heart, it turns a glance at the time into a little thrill.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Lifted straight from the dashboard clocks of 1960s racing cars, the two-tone dial pairs a bright white center with a sky-blue chapter ring and a playful orange seconds hand. Mirror polished across the bezel and lugs with brushed flanks between, the stainless steel case balances vintage proportions and modern lines in a friendly 38mm size that suits any wrist. Wrapped in beige perforated calfskin with racing glove holes and cream stitching, the band closes on a steel tang buckle signed with the Breitling B.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Inside beats the Manufacture Caliber B31, Breitling’s first in-house three-hand engine, striped, pearled, and COSC certified. Viewed through a screwed-in sapphire back, it holds nearly 78 hours of reserve, Friday to Monday and still ticking. A push-pull crown runs three positions, pushed in to wind, first click to set the date, and pulled out to set the time. A domed sapphire crystal keeps the read clear, water resistance runs to 100 meters, and the markers glow bright green in the dark.
Comes as a complete set, boxed with the electronic warranty card, quick start guide booklet and card holder, and travel pouch.
Fronted by Hollywood star Austin Butler as its face, this Top Time carries genuine cool on the wrist. Dressed sharp or worn easy, it reads like a statement of doing things your own way. Slide it on once and you may find it hard to give back.
