Breitling Top Time AB01764A1C1X1

Breitling Top Time B01 Triumph AB01764A1C1X1

The highlight of this watch is the ice blue dial. The distinctive color is precisely matched to that of a 1951 Triumph Thunderbird 6T, and a rare Breitling Top Time Ref. 815 from the 1970s. Collectors will surely pick up a few other legacies of vintage Breitling, including a retro logo, mushroom chronograph pushers, and a 'Zorro' dial design. The butterfly pattern introduced in the 1960s on the Top Time (nicknamed after the sly swashbuckler mask) is subtly integrated using a metal brushing technique that creates a radiant play of light and texture. The design features a Triumph emblem at 6 o'clock, a tachymetric scale that measures speed, and contrasting 'squircle' (not quite square, not quite round) sub-dials that evoke the feel of a vintage dashboard meter. It comes with an impressive engine under the hood: the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.
