MALDONADO 8 Posted June 30, 2021 . My first contact with this watch was at the end of a business lunch in Murcia, once back, resting the excellent meats of the region, I looked at the window of a watch shop on Avenida la Constitución and between Rolex, TAG, Omega, Tudor , Longines, I saw him in a solo exhibitor, logically I went in to "touch him" and ask about him. After some time reading the touristy forums, I saw that our yellow friends had replicated it with some rectifiable details in later versions, which are already modified in the version that I show you. It is difficult to list the series of rational reasons why I look at this watch, brand, reputation, difference, design… .. People want comfort and happiness in our lives, and we obtain it in part through these things that dazzle us . I do not extend myself more and I will show it …… GEN Features Make model: Breitling Top Time – limited edition (2000 unidades)Reference: A23310121G1X1Box: Polished 316 steel, bucked bottom with limited edition decoration.Crystal: AR double convex sapphire crystalFeatures: hour, minute, second counter, 1/4 de segundo, 30 minutosMovement: Calibre 23 de Breitling (Reserva 48 h) 28.800 VPHCrown: Without screw, a gasketDial: silvery white with Superluminova dots on the hour and central handsStrap: brown nubuck leather 20/18 mmClosing: hebilla 18 mmHermeticism: 30 meters REP Features Make model: Breitling Top Time Chrono SS GF 1: 1 (Trusty)Box: Polished 316 steel, bucked bottom with limited edition decoration.Crystal: AR double convex sapphire crystalFeatures: hour, minute, second counter, 1/4 de segundo, 30 minutosMovement: asian 7750 a 28.800 VPH (Reserva 48 h) Crown: Without screw, a gasketDial: silvery white with Superluminova dots on the hour and central hands Strap: Rally calfskin (Ziczac Watch)Closing: deployante 18 mm Measures .............................................GEN.................

These watches were first introduced in 1964 and were primarily intended for young men. Breitling Top Time watches were positioned as entry-level chronographs, priced much lower than the company's flagships, Navitimer and Chronomat. Breitling Sprint 2000-33 1950s Catalogue Breitlin 1960s Top Time ref. 2003.4 (Left), The Breitling Top Time eventually became a classic among watch enthusiasts, thanks to its continued popularity. The many celebrities from the world of entertainment and sports who were known to wear a Breitling Top Time paved the way for the watch to forever be etched as part of pop culture. Dial The dial is both geometric and graphic, thanks to its "Fox" design motif. The two concave sub-registers with concentric engravings, give the dial a real sense of depth a chronograph record of 30 minutes at three o'clock and seconds at nine. Breitling's gold “B” logo, faceted applied hour markers and beige Super-LumiNova dots are quiet companions to the dial's bolder design features. At the farthest point on the dial, just outside the reach of the chronograph second hand, is the decimal scale. What exactly is a decimal scale? It is basically a base 100 scale that divides the outer ring and allows the measurement of elapsed time in a more numerical way, allowing for quick segmentation of time into easily translatable data. Its intent was similar to that of the sectoral dial, and its target demographic included doctors and scientists, among others, for laboratory use The decision to replace the tachymeter scale around the outer chapter ring with a decimal scale I think is inspired - it tidies up the dial, while also offering a welcome nod to the vintage chronographs of yesteryear The arrows, including the chronograph seconds hand, are presented in a bright red hue that evokes the free spirit of the 1960s and complements the colorful details on the three o'clock sub-dial. The Top Time mark on the dial near six o'clock is also authentic for the vintage font, all in capital letters. There is no date on the watch, a smart move that avoids interrupting the clean lines of the dial Box While the modern interpretation has expanded from 38mm to 41mm, the stainless steel case is solidly faithful in shape to the 1960s original. The narrow no-frills bezel, simple straight lugs, and tall piston pushers are all here. keeping the spirit firmly rooted in the original. The modern mid-size case is fully polished and features a linear design with many facets and sharp angles. Cristal True to vintage style, the Top Time has a convex crystal with AR enhancing the vision of the dial and is a nod to mineral crystals or hesalite (Plexi) from the last century. strap The Breitling Top Time Limited Edition is accompanied by a textured brown nubuck strap in cocoa brown. The smoothness and the textured finish seem very acceptable and quality to me, they combine well with the vintage feel of the case and the dial, but I have changed it for a rally strap that also seems an ideal combination. Conclution Replica 1.1 with respect to the Gen., a coveted rarity and very versatile for many occasions, With a vibrant red accent, but just the right amount to make the dial stand out on the wrist without becoming overwhelming.

Intresting 21,691 Posted July 1, 2021 I certainly hope not! I am not going to lose sleep over this kinda thing. Like I said not a snowflake nor a woke dumbass. But genuinely curious. Wonder if the OP @MALDONADO can help clarify There may be a funny story in it, particularly if its google translate that did it. @FunnyStarSystem when you find out what thread crap in Spanish is, do share! Love to have another quill in the quiver of insults. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cap'n 930 Posted July 1, 2021 Love this write up (I will eventually get round to doing one on my v5 Pelagos now that my macro lens has finally arrived - if only camera shops in the UK were as diligent as Mary!). Love the look of the watch as well - never been massively drawn to Breitlings, either too busy or too close to other brands I prefer - but this one is rather smart - one for the 'watch' list.
