Breitling Top Time B01 Chevrolet Corvette Watch

The 1960s were a decade of experimentation, pleasure, freedom and energy. Whether cruising the roads on a motorcycle or in a sports car, living life at full speed was the order of the day. Willy Breitling sensed this change of pace and set out to create an unconventional chronograph reflecting the enthusiasm of the era. He gave it the name Top Time. This spirited tradition continues today with Breitling teaming up with some of the biggest names in automobiles to create its Top Time models. The second generation Chevrolet Corvette, model from 1963 to 1967, is the most popular version of the American legend. Nicknamed the “Sting Ray”, it is inspired by a prototype dating from 1959 intended for motor racing. For 60 years, it has captured the imagination of car enthusiasts around the world with its perfect combination of a low-profile body and a powerful, high-performance engine on the road and on the racetrack. The Top Time B01 Chevrolet Corvette features the colors and badging of the legendary car of the same name, as well as a perforated leather strap with a racing theme, a tachometer to measure speed and contrasting sub-dials “squircle” (half-round, half-square) which evoke the gauges of vintage dashboards. It also has a worthy engine under the hood: the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.
