The reissue of Breitling’s Top Time has been nothing short of fresh, even though they first bowed back in 1964 to cater to younger customers. The latest model to take Top Time center stage is one born out of a collaboration with Australian moto brand Deus Ex Machina. This limited edition automatic chronograph boasts unique details like “squircle” shaped subdials, a special tachymeter bezel with red and yellow markings at the 3 o’clock position, red and yellow hands, and the words “In Benzin Veritas” (In Fuel We Trust) printed between the 12 and 2 positions. Of course, what would this special edition be without the “Deus” logo that shows up tastefully just above the 6 position. The watch measures a modest 41mm and is powered by a COSC-certified and modified ETA 7753. Only 1,500 of them will be made at a price of $4,990. If you’re a motorcycle and watch lover, jump on it before they run out.
