Introducing Breitling Unveils Three New Editions in the Top Time Collection

Breitling has long been synonymous with precision, performance, and the thrilling world of motorsport. Since the 1960s, the brand has been at the forefront of creating timepieces that embody the spirit of racing, combining bold design with cutting-edge technology for motorsport enthusiasts who demand both style and accuracy. The Top Time collection, originally launched as a tribute to the world of speed, has become an iconic symbol of Breitling’s commitment to the racing culture.

During the Watches & Wonders 2025 event, Breitling announces the release of three new limited-edition models in the Top Time series, Top Time Racing, Top Time Martini Racing, Top Time Racing R. These new releases continue the brand’s celebration of motorsport, with the Top Time Martini Racing model standing out as a collaboration with the legendary Martini Racing team, capturing the essence of high-speed racing in a beautifully crafted timepiece.

The cases of the new Top Time models feature a distinctive cushion shape, giving them a unique and bold aesthetic. Measuring 38 mm in diameter and 13.30 mm in thickness, the design strikes the perfect balance between contemporary wearability and classic elegance. Its height, measuring 44.10 mm from the tip of the upper lug to the tip of the lower lug, ensures a comfortable fit on the wrist.

The chronograph pushers, located at 2 and 4 o'clock, are designed for ease of use, while the crown at 3 o'clock provides 100 meters of water resistance. A curved sapphire crystal, glare-resistant on both sides, enhances legibility, while the screw-down steel caseback contribute to the watch's durability.

What makes these dials stand out isn’t just their vintage-inspired look, but the way every element feels purposeful. The Top Time Racing editions come in three striking combinations, one in black with white chronograph counters, the other in green with white both designed for sharp contrast and easy readability at a glance. Between the hour indices, a printed minute track adds clarity and precision, making it easier to read the time, even when every second counts.

Both models feature Super-LumiNova on the hour indices and hands, ensuring visibility whether you're under bright lights or racing into the night. Then there's the Martini Racing edition, which really steals the show. The dial is pure motorsport energy white base, blue subdials, and those unmistakable Martini stripes in blue, light blue, and red.

The watches are powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, movement engineered for both precision and durability. This self-winding mechanical caliber operates with a bidirectional rotor mounted on ball bearings, delivering a robust power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Composed of 284 individual components, it beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and features a column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch ensuring smooth, precise operation of the stopwatch function down to 1/4th of a second, with a 30-minute counter. As a testament to its accuracy and reliability, the Caliber 01 is COSC-certified, meeting the strict standards of Swiss chronometer performance.

Each watch is fitted with a racing-themed calfskin leather strap available in beige, green, or blue, secured with a sturdy folding clasp. Each of these watches is limited to 750 pieces and priced at USD 7,700, approximately AED 28,500.
