The 1960s marked a vibrant era of experimentation, fun, freedom, and boundless energy, where living life at full throttle, whether on a motorcycle or in a sportscar, was the norm. Inspired by this spirit, Willy Breitling designed the unconventional Top Time chronograph to capture the essence of the times. This spirited tradition lives on today, with Breitling collaborating with renowned automotive icons.

In the early 1960s, Carroll Shelby, the Le Mans winner, envisioned a car that blended a nimble British-style chassis with a robust American small-block engine. The result was the Cobra, introduced in 1962, which instantly captivated sportscar enthusiasts and racers alike. Its timeless appeal continues, making it a prized possession among collectors. The Top Time B01 Shelby Cobra pays homage to this classic vehicle, featuring its iconic colors and emblem. With a perforated leather racing strap, a speed-measuring tachymeter scale, and distinctive 'squircle' subdials reminiscent of vintage dashboard gauges, it perfectly captures the Cobra's heritage. Powering this timepiece is the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, making it a true testament to the enduring legacy of both Breitling and the legendary Shelby Cobra.

Technical information about this watch

Breitling Top Time B01 Shelby Cobra

100M / 10 ATM water resistance

Water resistance indicates a watch's ability to withstand moisture and water. Ratings are measured in metres (M) or atmospheres (ATM). For instance, 30M (3 ATM) is suitable for light splashes, while 100M (10 ATM) and above are ideal for swimming and diving. Regular maintenance helps retain water resistance over time.

Breitling B01 Automatic movement

Watch movements are the mechanisms that power timekeeping, coming in automatic, manual, and quartz types. Automatic movements self-wind using wrist motion, manual movements require hand-winding, and quartz movements are battery-powered for precise timekeeping. Each type offers unique benefits, catering to different preferences and lifestyles.

41mm case size

Case size, measured in millimetres (mm), impacts the watch's look and fit. Men's watches typically range from 38mm to 46mm, and women's from 26mm to 36mm. Larger cases make a bold statement, while smaller cases offer a classic look. Choosing the right size ensures comfort and style.

70 hours power reserve

Power reserve is the duration a watch runs on a full wind or charge. Mechanical watches usually offer 40 to 80 hours, with some extending to several days. Quartz watches, powered by batteries, last several years. Knowing the power reserve helps maintain accurate timekeeping.
