Introduced in the transformative 1960s, Willy Breitling’s unconventional line of racing-inspired chronographs captured the era’s freewheeling vibe. Today, the new Top Time collection channels that adrenaline-fueled energy, blending modern-retro design with cutting-edge performance
The Top Time Racing is a descendant of some of the most striking Top Time designs of the 1960s. The cushion-shaped case, bold tachymeter scale, and distinctive “squircle” subdials evoke the high speeds and split-second decisions of the race route. At the heart of the dial is the signature “surfboard” motif—an elliptical design straight out of the Top Time archives, inspired by classic-car dashboards.
