TOP TIME B01
Ask about this watch
The 1960s were a decade of experimentation, fun, freedom and energy. Whether you were going for a spin on a motorcycle or stepping on the gas in a sports car, life was in full swing. Willy Breitling sensed this change in pace and set out to develop an unconventional chronograph that captured the momentum of the era. He called it the Top Time.
This spirited tradition continues today with the Top Time B01, which features a perforated leather strap, tachymeter scale and contrasting “squircle” dials (not quite square, not quite round) to evoke the special atmosphere of a classic dashboard. In addition, it has an engine under the hood that is impressive: the extraordinary Breitling manufacture caliber 01.

Breitling’s storied association with chronographs and aeronautics dates back to 1884, when Léon Breitling laid the foundation for a company that would remain in his family for nearly a century.
In 1923, a patented pocket watch with two chronograph pushers caused a sensation. The one pusher in the 2 o’clock position was used for starting and stopping, while the other, integrated into the crown, reset the chronograph mechanism. For the first time, it was possible for the stopwatch to measure multiple times in sequence.
Navigation and timer - or simply Navitimer
In 1952, Willy Breitling developed a chronograph with a circular slide rule that pilots could use to make all the necessary flight calculations. Two years later, the American Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the largest pilots' club in the world, appointed his design as its official timepiece.
At Breitling, we believe in the power of a team, the strength of a group, and the mutual identification of a common target, which ultimately leads to success.
