Breitling introduced the Top Time in 1964 as an entry-level chronograph, intended to help the brand reach a new buyer demographic. Compared to the classic Navitimer and Chronomat models, the Top Time offered a young and fresh take on the classic chronograph design. In 1965's James Bond "Thunderball," a Breitling Top Time ref. 2002 is the first watch modified by Q. The Geiger counter-equipped Top Time is worn by Sean Connery as 007 on a mission to find two NATO atomic bombs that had been stolen by the criminal organization Spectre.
All watches are sold "As Is". Webb's make no guarantee of the future working order of the watch or battery life, and watches may need to be serviced to improve accuracy. Generally none of the watches have been tested for time keeping accuracy or running time, nor have any seals been tested on water-resistant watches. If they have been tested this is for indication purposes only and not guaranteed. Vintage watches may have been restored or repaired over the years, as such Webb's cannot guarantee that individual component parts are original or authentic.
