At the Geneva Watch Days 2021, the House of Grenchen presented three new, eye-catching versions of the Top Time, dedicated to three iconic sports cars from the 1960s: the Chevrolet Corvette, the Ford Mustang and the Shelby Cobra. These new chronographs, naturally with a touch of automotive style, are distinguished by their bold dial colours, available in green, red and blue, as well as their perforated calfskin straps. The steel casebacks are engraved with the logo of the car to which the model is dedicated. All three models are water-resistant to 10 atmospheres (100 metres). The collection includes the Top Time Chevrolet Corvette with a red and black dial, inspired by the design of the C2 Corvette dating back to the mid-1960s, a model that enthusiasts also called the "Sting Ray". The Top Time Ford Mustang, with its green and black dial, is inspired by the 1964 car of the same name, which launched a new genre of compact, affordable sports car. The Top Time Shelby Cobra with a blue and silver dial completes the trio. The 42-mm steel cases of the Top Time Chevrolet Corvette and Ford Mustang house the Breitling calibre 25 (diameter 29.3 mm, thickness 6.9 mm, 28,800 vibrations per hour, power reserve of approximately 42 hours, chronometer-certified by the COSC), a self-winding mechanical movement. Both watches bear the logos of the cars to which they are dedicated at 12 o'clock. The Top Time Shelby Cobra, on the other hand, has a 40 mm steel case, inside which beats the Breitling calibre 41 (diameter 25.4 mm, thickness 6.8 mm, 28,800 vibrations per hour, power reserve of about 42 hours, chronometer-certified by the COSC), mechanical with automatic winding. In this case, the car logo is placed at 6 o'clock. As mentioned at the beginning, all three models are combined with a perforated calfskin strap, black for the Top Time Chevrolet Corvette and brown for the other two. All three straps are fitted with a folding clasp.
Price: 5,330 euro.
