Breitling Top Time B01 Triumph

That spirited tradition continues today with Breitling partnering with some of the coolest names in wheels to create its Top Time designs. A collaboration with British heritage motorcycle brand Triumph, this watch's highlight is its ice-blue dial. The distinctive shade was precisely colour matched to a Triumph Thunderbird 6T from 1951, and a rare, blue-dialled Breitling Top Time Ref. 815 from the 1970s.

Collectors are sure to pick up on a few other throwbacks to vintage Breitling that include a retro logo, mushroom chronograph pushers and a "Zorro" dial design. The bowtie motif introduced on Top Time in the 1960s (and nicknamed for the wily swashbuckler's mask) has been subtly integrated using a metal brushing technique that creates a radiant play of light and texture.

The design features a Triumph emblem at 6 o'clock, a speed-measuring tachymeter scale and contrasting "squircle" (not quite square, not quite round) subdials that give the feel of vintage dashboard guage. It also comes with a brag-worthy engine under the hood: the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.
