The 1960s was a decade of experimentation, fun, freedom and energy. Whether cruising on a motorcycle or revving up a sportscar, living life at full speed was the order of the day. Willy Breitling felt this change of pace and set out to design an unconventional chronograph that would capture the verve of era. He called it the Top Time. That spirited tradition continues today with Breitling partnering with some of the coolest names in wheels to create its Top Time designs. Co-designed with Australian surf-and-motorcycle outfitter Deus Ex Machina, the Top Time B01 Deus will appeal to bikers, boarders and backpackers, all looking for the freedom to explore the world their own way, at their own pace. It features the Deus emblem and adage “In benzin veritas” on the dial as well a perforated leather racing strap, speed-measuring tachymeter scale and contrasting “squircle” (not quite square, not quite round) subdials that give the feel of a vintage dashboard gauge. It also comes with a special lightning-bolt-shaped chronograph hand and, under the hood, a brag-worthy engine: the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.
