Inside Breitling Top Time Party Where Breitling Unveiled its Top Time Collection Watches

For 2023, the Top Time Classic Cars Collection has been fitted with an in-house chronograph movement and Breitling has added a brand-new model inspired by the Ford Thunderbird.

Each of the above colorways represents a specific link to one of four well-known classic cars – the Chevrolet Corvette (red), the Ford Thunderbird (white), the Shelby Cobra (blue), and the Ford Mustang (green). Though aesthetically similar to the currently-available Top Time editions for the Corvette, Cobra, and Mustang, these new models are 41mm wide (down from 42mm) and all four are fitted with a Breitling B01 automatic chronograph movement. The steel cases are 13.8mm thick, 50.36mm lug-to-lug (shoutout to Breitling for including this measurement), have display casebacks, and 100 meters of water resistance.

All four are offered in a no-date configuration and the Mustang, Corvette, and Thunderbird models all have three subdials providing a 12-hour maximum measure and 1/4th of a second resolution. The Shelby Cobra model uses two subdials for the chronograph and has a maximum measure of 30 minutes.

With pricing starting for RM 24,350 on a leather strap, these new Top Times seem like a logical answer to what fans were likely asking of Breitling – that being the in-house movement and the reference of classic, powerful cars.
