Breitling might be a Swiss watch company, but they’re paying serious homage to American classic cars from the 1960s with a special line of its colorful Top Time chronograph watch. There are three versions in the new Top Time Classic Cars Capsule Collection: Chevrolet Corvette (red), the Ford Mustang (green), and the Shelby Cobra (blue). Each timepiece incorporates either a bi-color panda (Corvette, Mustang) or bi-color reverse-panda (Cobra) colorway, as well as the badge from each vehicle. The Cobra gets two subdials instead of three, and the Cobra badge is located just above the six o’clock marker where the third subdial would otherwise be located. The Corvette and Mustang models get a 42mm case diameter, and the Cobra is sized at 40mm. All models are powered by a COSC-certified Breitling Caliber movement with a 42-hour power reserve and come with a perforated leather rally strap.
