New Breitling Top Time

Just seen the new limited edition Top Time, have to say it ticks a lot of my boxes.

Lol I know, 30m WR that’s what splash resistant at most.

I supose it’s done to keep true to the original, but I think I would rather have a slightly more modern construction even if it bulks the case up slightly.

I love the classic Top Time's but they've done a good job of modernising it. Very nice.

Actually..a lot of the original top time range had front loading cases not snap on case backs, one of the reasons why so many for sale don't have serial numbers or movement photos

At least they didn't screw it up by adding a date window, and the slight increase in size is understandable I guess.

If they'd put a date window it wouldn't be a Top Time, it'd be a Datora

Well...if you wanna go down that route, technically this isn't a top time re-issue at all - it is mash up of a sprint and a top time
