Breitling drops A NEW Top Time B31 with Austin Butler

A NEW classic Top Time B31

With bold energy and vintage vibes, Breitling introduces the new Top Time B31, a stylish evolution of its iconic three-hand watch. At the center of this launch is Oscar-nominated actor Austin Butler, who joins the Breitling squad as the perfect ambassador for this fresh yet heritage-driven release.

Austin Butler Embodies the Top Time Spirit

With his charisma and effortless confidence, Butler naturally reflects the free-spirited DNA of the Top Time collection. As he puts it, “Breitling, for me, is about adventure and pushing limits. The Top Time is how I’ve always wanted to live—free and ready to rock ’n’ roll.” In response, Breitling CEO Georges Kern praised Butler’s discipline and detail-oriented nature, noting, “His dedication mirrors exactly how we approach watchmaking.”

A Bold Heritage, Reimagined for Today

Originally launched in the 1960s, the Top Time stood out with bold dials, sporty appeal, and an inclusive design sensibility. Over time, it became a favorite among racecar drivers, style icons, and even James Bond, who wore a modified version in Thunderball (1965). Now, the new Top Time B31 preserves that rebellious spirit while reinterpreting it for the modern wearer.

Time-Only, Yet Timeless

Rather than follow tradition, the Top Time B31 departs from its chronograph roots with a clean, minimal three-hand format. Furthermore, its compact 38mm case strikes a perfect balance between retro proportions and contemporary wearability, ensuring a comfortable fit for all wrist sizes and lifestyles.

Introducing Caliber B31: Precision at the Core

Powering the collection is Caliber B31, Breitling’s first fully in-house automatic chronometer certified movement featuring a time and date display. Notably, it builds upon the brand’s mechanical legacy established with the Caliber 01 chronograph. As a result, the B31 delivers dependable performance in a sleek, modern form, designed for everyday use.

Available Styles and Pricing

The Top Time B31 arrives in three striking variations: a rich Green dial, a deep Blue version, and a unique two-tone combination of White and Sky Blue. Prices begin at $5,600 with a calfskin leather strap or $5,900 on a stainless steel bracelet—offering accessible luxury across the line.

At the End of the Day…

Ultimately, the Breitling Top Time B31 Austin Butler edition brings together precision, heritage, and relaxed sophistication in one unforgettable timepiece. It’s made for those who lead with confidence, live with purpose, and never follow the script.
