At the recent Geneva Watch Days event, Breitling introduced a trio of chronographs that pay tribute to classic American sports cars from the 1960s. Alongside the launch of the Top Time Classic Cars Capsule Collection came the announcement of the watchmaker’s “Classic Cars Squad,” which includes the Chevrolet Corvette, the Ford Mustang, and the Shelby Cobra.

These three icons of American car culture serve as the inspiration for Breitling’s latest capsule collection for 2021, which also take their aesthetic cues from the original 1960s Breitling Top Time models, which were designed for “young and active professionals,” according to ads of the time.

For the 2021 models, Breitling has striven to imbue the Top Time with an even more youthful and free-spirited theme. ?It?s about the journey, not the tempo. And that?s true whether you?re tinkering under the hood or hitting the road for a Sunday ride celebrating these beautiful machines,? says Breitling CEO Georges Kern.
About the collection:

The chronographs offer three bold dial colors, in red, blue, and green. These are further accentuated with orange, yellow, red and blue touches. All of the timepieces launched within this collection feature a racing-inspired theme with a unique motoring twist.
