In a world where milliseconds matter and style never takes a pit stop, Breitling’s Top Time chronographs are making a roaring return. Reigniting the golden era of 1960s racing design, the Swiss watchmaker brings back a trio of adrenaline-charged timepieces that speak directly to a new generation of pace-setters and thrill-seekers. This bold revival isn’t just a nod to the past—it’s a full-throttle celebration of heritage, performance, and iconic motorsport energy.
With only 750 pieces of each model produced, the new Top Time Racing editions and the striking Top Time Martini Racing aren’t just watches—they’re collector’s trophies built for those who live life at full speed. Cushion-shaped cases, squircle subdials, and vintage dashboard-inspired dials blend retro aesthetics with modern engineering in a way only Breitling can. From rally grit to circuit glamour, each model wears its motor heritage proudly on its dial.
Motorsports have long been part of Breitling’s DNA, and these new models double down on that legacy. Whether you’re navigating tight corners on a rally course or accelerating down a high-speed track, the new Top Time chronographs are precision instruments built for split-second decisions. The 38 mm size offers a refined silhouette, while the COSC-certified Manufacture Caliber 01 powers each watch with a 70-hour reserve and easy-to-use mushroom pushers—perfect for those who prefer instinct over hesitation.
The Top Time Racing models come in two electrifying versions: one pairs a crisp black-and-white dial with a beige leather strap, while the other matches a green-and-white dial with a vintage-inspired green perforated strap. Both scream rally heritage and speak to Breitling’s rebellious spirit—a spirit first introduced by Willy Breitling when the original Top Time broke the rules in the 1960s.
But the standout star of this high-octane trio is undoubtedly the Top Time Martini Racing. An homage to one of the most legendary liveries in motorsport history, this edition fuses the unmistakable Martini Racing stripes—blue, light blue, and red—onto a performance-driven dial. It’s an instant icon, designed for the kind of wearer who doesn’t just attend the race—they redefine it. A dark blue leather strap seals the look, reinforcing its place as a statement of speed and swagger.
Breitling CEO Georges Kern captures the essence of the collection perfectly: “The Top Time collection is known for its bold chronographs. With these latest limited editions, we put a modern spin on classic 1960s designs, returning this watch to what it’s all about: timing races and measuring speed.”
These chronographs are more than instruments—they’re a lifestyle. Whether strapped to the wrist of a driver chasing the horizon or a connoisseur chasing legacy, Breitling’s Top Time Racing and Martini Racing editions deliver a visceral reminder: life is a race, and every second counts.
