Breitling released the Top Time B01 Chronographs with a special Martini Edition

A cool New motorsport cushion shaped chronograph inspired by the past

Breitling’s Top Time B01 chronographs are back on the grid, reintroducing the brand’s boldest 1960s designs with modern performance upgrades. This release includes two Top Time Racing editions and a standout Top Time Martini Racing® collaboration.

How Big Is the Breitling Top Time B01?

Each model features a sleek 38mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case that stands 13.3mm thick. Despite its compact size, the presence is bold thanks to its distinctive shape and very cool sixties inspired surfboard dial layout. These pieces also offer 100 meters of water resistance, making them practical for daily wear and weekend drives.

Top Time Racing Editions

Inspired by rally circuits and vintage dashboards, these two new Top Time Racing editions revive everything collectors love about the original. They come in two eye-catching styles:

Black-and-white dial paired with a beige racing-style leather strap
Green-and-white dial with a green perforated leather strap, evoking classic driving gloves
