Breitling have teamed up once again with the Australian custom motorcycle and surf outfitter Deus Ex Machina to produce a limited-edition Top Time Deus chronograph.
The new Top Time Deus, limited to 2,000 pieces, is built for open-road adventure with luminescent indexes and a white lacquered dial contrasted by sky-blue on its sub-dials and speed-measuring tachymeter scale. Whilst the colour scheme is new, the details that made the first version so successful are back, including the lightning-bolt-shaped chronograph hand, mushroom pushers, racing-themed calfskin leather strap and case-back engraving of a Deus bike and rider designed by Deus creative director Carby Tuckwell. Each caseback is marked with the ‘One of 2000’ limit (below).
“Top Time Deus is a watch that’s easygoing, rugged, and stylish at the same time, just like the person it’s made for. The modern-retro look beautifully complements the way Deus styles its boards and bikes.”
Georges Kern, CEO, Breitling
First introduced in the 1960s, Breitling’s unconventional Top Time chronograph became a firm favourite with the stylish café-racer and sports car enthusiasts. Today, the Top Time remains Breitling’s watch for bikers, boarders, surfers, and digital nomads — and at 41 mm, it’s a fit for most wrists.
Each new Top Time Deus comes with a co-branded waxed-canvas travel tote. Breitling and Deus have also partnered on a new line of clothing and accessories that fans of the brands can only get their hands on at six Breitling flagships worldwide (Seoul Hannam, New York Madison Avenue, Milan, London New Bond Street, London Regent Street and Sydney).
The new Top Time Deus is available from the Breitling website, in Breitling boutiques and through selected retailers, while quantities last.
