Breitling launches this car-themed capsule series
Start your engine! These are three new Top Time chronographs featuring classic car brands. Breitling Top Time Classic Cars Capsule
Breitling launched its acclaimed watch during Watches & Wonders in April last year, and it is back with the start of Geneva Watch Day. The new product is a trio of Breitling's top chronographs. They are part of a new capsule series called Classic Car Squad, which cooperates with Breitling's Surf Squad and Cinema Squad. Each watch is based on a specific 60s classic car: the Shelby Cobra in the early 1960s, the second-generation Corvette (circa 1963-1967), and the first-generation Ford Mustang (circa 1964-1969) ).
When we saw Top Time for the last time, it was a limited edition timepiece, inspired by the Breitling Top Time chronograph in the 1960s, drawing styling clues from that era and creating a mid-century synthesis of the series itself. With this new capsule series, it is clear that Top Time has a direct connection with this decade, and the brand goes one step further and is openly associated with iconic classic cars.replica Breitling Watches
Each watch has a unique dial color: Corvette is red, Shelby Cobra is blue, Mustang is green-each with a car logo stamp. Both Corvette and Mustang adopt a 42mm case size and are equipped with an observatory-certified movement-Breitling Calibre 25, a self-winding 1/8-second chronograph movement, and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
Shelby Cobra showed a smaller case size of 40 mm, equipped with its own COSC certified movement-Breitling Calibre 41, which is a self-winding 1/4 second chronograph movement with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
For only $5,400, you can get all the feel of a classic car (or maybe even a vintage watch) without the headaches associated with maintenance.

Well, on the one hand, these watches are colorful. Not to mention that one of them is green (it's still 2021 after all).discount replica watch
Top Time is one of Breitling's most evocative retro series. This capsule series imposes this concept on others. If you are after subtlety, look elsewhere. But I don't mean to belittle it. In fact, these works are exactly the original intention of their design: a retro celebration of cars and watches in the middle of this century.
If there is one thing for lovers of vintage watches...well...love, it is a dual mark dial. They just don't stamp them like they used to. In these three products, in addition to the Breitling Top Time brand, we also obtained vintage car brands through Shelby Cobra Cobra, Corvette racing flag and Mustang Mustang. I really think these all look great on the dial, even if the concept is a bit clumsy.
Please note the difference in the position of the car brand, depending on the size of the watch case. On the 42mm Mustang and Corvette, the stamp is located near 12 o'clock, and on the Shelby Cobra, it is located near 6 o'clock. But this is not all different.copy watches for sale
Functionally, as evidenced by the different dial layouts, the 40mm and 42mm variants have different functions due to the different movements used. The 40mm Shelby Cobra has only two sub-registers to display the running seconds and a 30-minute accumulator, while the 42mm option is a three-register timing display.
