Breitling expands its popular Top Time line with the 2025 debut of the Top Time B31 and the Manufacture Top Time B31 caliber. The luxury brand's newest in-house caliber is its first three-hand manufacture movement displaying hours, minutes and seconds. The Top Time line was originally launched in 1964 as an affordable chronograph for "dynamic young men and women" and today celebrates an updated "celebration of individuality and adventure" brand expression. The
Top Time B31 is a time-only piece that is a return to "the fundamentals of watchmaking." It is both retro and modern in its aesthetics with a heritage 38mm case that is true to the Top Time legacy. This particular variant presents a sporty white and sky-blue colorway on a dial reminiscent of a classic sportscar racing dial. It is equipped with a date cyclops, sapphire crystal exhibition caseback and themed racing-glove-style
perforated beige calfskin strap.

BRAND HISTORY
Breitling was founded in 1884 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland and is famously known for its precision-made chronometers and long history of innovation in chronographs and aviation-related timepieces. It created one of the first wrist-worn chronographs with an independent pusher at 2 o’clock and, later, a second pusher at 4 o-clock, completing the ubiquitous and sought after look of chronographs today. These innovations prevented errors by making the start function a very deliberate action, separate from any action on the winding crown. Breitling’s contemporary excellence is a beacon of inspiration.
Its ability to seamlessly blend tradition with innovation,
luxury with functionality, and heritage with modernity, puts the brand in a very exclusive class of timepieces to own and enjoy.
