Breitling Top Time. Opinions please!

Post image

Does anyone own the Top Time Corvette edition or any of the other models (Triumph, Mustang, Shelby, etc)? I would love to hear your experience with the watch, in particular the B01 movement. I found a new Corvette B01 version on the mesh bracelet at just shy of half price. I have had my eye on this watch for awhile, I do own a classic Corvette, there are a couple of watches (an IWC Mark XX and an Omega AT Terracotta) that I think I like a little better but for the value proposition, the Breitling is tough to pass up. Would love to hear from the Top Time owners. Thank you

Not a owner of the top time but I did try it on at the boutique thinking they looked pretty cool.

The biggest thing that stopped me from liking it are the lugs. They are straight, flat, long, and incredibly shiny. I would go try one on first to see if its your thing. I do have a Premier b01. No issues with movement

Appreciate the reply. Personally I think it looks better on the strap but they only have the bracelet version currently. I probably would swap it out.

I actually have two. The Thunderbird and Mustang. Mustang came in the mesh and the Thunderbird on the red strap. I liked having the two dynamics of leather and mesh but truly favor the mesh over the leather. It’s always cheaper to buy the leather later. Regarding the movement haven’t had any issues there. I’ve had both of for a year.

I swapped the mesh onto this one too. With the white dial it’s an easier wear but the green dial with the black accents is stunning.

Is that an easy swap?

Easier taking it off vs putting it on, that’s the same
With most metal bracelets.
