Breitling introduces the latest watch in its Top Time collection as it partners with British motorcycle brand Triumph.
Inspired by the 1060s café-racer culture this new eye-catching timepiece combines style with functionality.
The unconventional chronograph combines the expertise and knowledge of Breitling’s watchmakers with the history and design embodied by Triumph.
“Triumph’s heritage and modern-retro aesthetic are just two of the many things we have in common,” said Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. “Their blending of tradition with technology is completely in sync with what we do.”
The Top Time Triumph watch features a 41mm dial and distinctive brushed finish in the bow-tie motif nicknamed “the Zorro dial” by Top Time collectors. A collection of two watches, both of which feature an eye-catching ice blue dial and calfskin leather strap.
The Breitling and Triumph logos sit at the 12 and 6 o’clock points while oversized mushroom pushers allow for easy control of the chronograph’s stop-start and reset functions. The watches are powered by the Breitling Caliber 23, a COSC-certified chronometer with a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.
And to finish the look, the casebacks are etched with a detailed design sketch of Triumph’s parallel-twin engine.
Aside from the watch, Triumph will produce a limited edition number of exclusive motorcycles named the Triumph Speed Twin Breitling Limited Edition. Only 270 of these motorcycles will ever be made.
