James Bond’s Breitling Top Time Returns In All Its Glory.
The Top Time was one of Breitling’s sportiest, most youth-oriented models in the 1960s, helping to shape the sports watch landscape during a time of monumental design shifts.
After years of dormancy Breitling has now revived one of the Top Time’s most iconic references, the Ref. 2003, for the new Breitling Top Time Limited Edition.
With the new model, Breitling chose to create a new version of its famous “Zorro” or “Bowtie” dial. This dial design is uniquely of the brand and it’s something that first cropped up on 1940s Chronomats.
The revamped Breitling Top Time is 41mm and runs off the watchmaker’s Caliber 23 movement. It can hold up to 48 hours of power in reserve. More than that, it’s got a distinctively sharp-looking black and white dial, the black slices offsetting the small second and 30-minute counters.
The Top Time is a limited edition, only 2000 pieces will be sold. The luxury watchmaker has also paired it with a blockchain digital passport to aid in certifying its authenticity.
The new Top Time will be released to Breitling retailers within the next month or so. It is $4,990 USD and at this time available for purchase via breitling.com.
