About Vintage Top Time

The Top Time collection was launched by Breitling in the 1960s, created for a new generation that loved speed and individuality. Its bold cushion-shaped case and graphical dial design emerged against the backdrop of the booming motorsports and motorcycle culture of the era, symbolizing the spirit of a free and dynamic age.

This pop-up will feature vintage Top Time watches manufactured around 1969. Among the exhibits are the "Top Time Cushion “Racing” ref.2211," which served as the design inspiration for this limited model, and the "Top Time ref.814," another cushion case model from the same period. These models were equipped with hand-wound chronograph movements such as Valjoux 7730 and Venus 178, and are known as iconic examples that convey the charm of racing chronographs of that time.

Due to its unique design and connection to culture, vintage Top Time continues to be highly popular among watch enthusiasts and collectors. It is a collection that tells the story of how Breitling, renowned in aviation, has also established a strong presence in fields such as motorsports. The vintage models displayed this time embody the lineage of racing chronographs inherited by the modern Top Time, and their spirit is strongly passed on to the newly announced "Top Time B01 Racing Kamen Rider Limited."

Top Time B01 Racing Kamen Rider Limited

This Japan-exclusive model was created to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the Kamen Rider broadcast. Inheriting the spirit of Breitling's 'Top Time' racing chronograph, born in the 1960s, it subtly expresses the hero's world view through its details.

The small seconds at 9 o'clock features an emblem, and "LE HÉROS ÉTERNEL (Eternal Hero)" is engraved on the outer rim of the dial. The case back is engraved with the silhouette of Cyclone and "ONE OF 155," quietly indicating its status as a limited edition model.

Equipped with Breitling's in-house Caliber 01 movement, it is a timepiece that embodies the brand's chronograph tradition in terms of both performance and design.
