Breitling offers the most original way of expressing personal style with its new retro model Top Time Limited Edition featuring the Zorro dial.
Half a century after introduced its first Top Time watch, Breitling introduced the new updated and improved version to watch lovers. Carrying the design codes of the 1960 model, the new model, Breitling Top Time Limited Edition, has a very bold style, like its inspiring predecessor. The brand melts both its loveliness and high chronograph performance in the same pot with the dial called 'Zorro' by collectors.
Breitling's CEO, Georges Kern, comments on the model with these sentences: Breitling CEO Georges Kern commented: “Breitling aficionados have always loved the Top Time’s dial. When it debuted more than 50 years ago, it appealed to a younger audience enjoying the freedom and the spirit of the 1960s, and, amazingly, after all this time, it continues to stand out. The Top Time is an important but often-overlooked part of our heritage, and we know it’s going to resonate with men and women who love this blend of history, design, and great performance.”
Breitling Top Time Limited Edition comes with a 41mm stainless steel case. Sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides rises above the dial. Equipped with a solid case back, the case is water-resistant to 30 meters only.
Inside the case is the Breitling Caliber 23 automatic chronograph movement offering a 48-hour power reserve when fully wound.
Dot-shaped markers with the red hour and minute hands displaying the time on the dial are Super-LumiNOVA applied to increase legibility. In addition to the central hour, minute, and chronograph second hand, there are two sub-dials on the decimal scale, there are small seconds at 9 o'clock and 30 minutes counter at 3 o'clock with red highlights.
Unlike the Top Time model given to James Bond by Q in Thunderball in 1965, one of the few features that the renewed chronograph does not have is the Geiger counter. The spy, loved by the whole world, used this watch to prevent a nuclear disaster by finding stolen missiles hidden underwater.
Breitling Top Time is available with a brown nubuck leather strap that complements the modern-retro look. The 'ONE OF 2000' text stands out on the solid case back of the watch, which is limited to only 2000 pieces.
Breitling Top Time Limited Edition will be the first watch offered with a blockchain-based digital passport, which verifies the brand's authenticity and ownership in one click. Owners will be able to access the watch's digital passport at any time and transfer ownership with a simple blockchain transaction.
