Top Time - paying homage to a decade of fun, freedom, and energy Inspired by Le Mans winner Carroll Shelby Blue dial with a speed-measuring tachymeter scale and 'squircle' sub-dials Powered by the exceptional Chronograph Tourbillon B21 movement from La Joux-Perret A tribute to the blisteringly fast 1962 Cobra sportscar CAPTURING THE VERVE OF AN ERA A distinctive celebration of freedom and design, the Top Time collection pays homage to iconic sports cars from the 1960s. Made for performance on the road and track, this collection was designed with young and active professionals in mind. In the early 1960s, Le Mans winner Carroll Shelby imagined a car that combined a small, light British-style chassis, with a strong, reliable, American small-block engine - the best of both worlds. The resulting 1962 Cobra was an instant success amongst sportscar fans and racers alike and today remains cherished by collectors. This Top Time Shelby Cobra model features the colours of the classic car, as well as a perforated leather racing strap, speed-measuring tachymeter scale, and 'squircle' sub-dials which provide a nod to the gauges on vintage dashboards. INSPIRED BY THE 1962 COBRA This striking model pairs a 44mm black ceramic case with a perforated, navy leather racing strap. The racing blue dial features a tachymeter scale to measure speed, 'squircle' sub-dials inspired by the gauges on vintage dashboards, and slender baton hour markers. Under the bonnet, the exceptional Chronograph Tourbillon B21 movement from La Joux-Perret provides power, precision, and a 55-hour power reserve. Verified details include bracelet material of Calfskin, brand collections of Top Time, dial colour of Blue, diameter of 44mm, guarantee of Breitling 5 Year Guarantee and movement of Automatic. Available colours: Blue.
