Breitling Deepens DB5 Bond Heritage With Trio of Top Time Chronographs

Breitling unveils three Top Time B01 Chronographs celebrating the Aston Martin DB5: an all-steel version (1,022 pieces) with a silver dial, a steel model with a platinum bezel (315 pieces), and a luxurious 18k red-gold edition (250 pieces) with a black onyx dial. All share a 41mm cushion case, pump pushers, and a COSC-certified B01 movement with 70-hour power reserve and 100m water resistance, plus a wooden rehaut echoing the DB5’s steering wheel. Pricing runs from €10,500/$11,400 to €40,500/$41,500, with the gold edition individually numbered; the steel versions are not. The watches continue Breitling’s Aston Martin collaboration after a prior Navitimer F1 Team release, though some critics find the wooden rehaut flourish unnecessary.
