Breitling X Triumph Team Up for the “Top Time B01 Triumph”
Sometimes, it’s worth it to harken back to an era where the only measure of time was the local opinion and whatever chronometer was in the general vicinity; in keeping with the verve of the 1960s, in particular, Breitling’s bevy of horologists have released a new watch to the moto masses.
Meet the “Top Time B01 Triumph” – a new timepiece in Breitling’s B01 range and a unit that carries the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 (complete with a COSC chronometer certificate).
According to Breitling’s website, this $8,000 USD watch shows off an ice blue dial straight from the color scheme of the fun-loving 1951 Triumph Thunderbird 6T. The Triumph Motorcycle logo is shown at 6 o’clock, while a retro logo, mushroom pushers, a speed-measuring tachymeter scale (complete with squircle subdials), and a “Zorro” dial design keep the timepiece firmly in the “Baby Boom’ generation station.
An additional perk: Owners can rest easy knowing that a five-year warranty protects their timekeeper; if you happen to get your hands on one before August is out, you’ll have an extension of that warranty!
