Description

The 1960s marked a period of experimentation, fun, freedom, and high energy. Whether riding motorcycles or driving high-performance sports cars, the era demanded living life in the fast lane. Willy Breitling was inspired by this shift in pace and sought to craft an unconventional chronograph that embodied the spirit of the time. This birthed the Top Time. Today, Breitling continues this dynamic tradition by collaborating with renowned names in the automotive industry to develop their Top Time designs. The Ford Thunderbird made its debut at the 1954 Detroit auto show as a stylish, fun-to-drive cabriolet celebrated for its opulent design, robust structure, and distinctive tailfin. The Top Time B01 Ford Thunderbird showcases the classic car’s colors and emblem and features a perforated leather racing strap, a speed-measuring tachymeter scale, and contrasting “squircle” subdials reminiscent of vintage dashboard gauges. Adding to its allure is the impressive Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a commendable powerhouse beneath its surface.
