Numerous watershed models were released during this time that greatly influenced the industry for decades, one of which was Breitling’s Top Time Ref. 2003. Sporty yet refined, the vintage Swiss-made watch is now being revived via a limited run of updated versions of this iconic timepiece.

Limited to 2,000 units, the new version of this classic James Bond watch — which appeared in Thunderball — largely stays true to its 1960s predecessor, maintaining the original’s bare bezel, lugs, and tail-piston pushers, though its stainless steel case his been increased in size to 41mm’s. The dial also retains the ‘60s version’s “bow-tie” dial and slightly uncommon use of an outer decimal scale (versus a more traditional tachymeter). The contrasting red from the original dial also remains, though it now adorns the central hours and minutes. Powering the recreated chronograph is a Valjoux 7753-based Caliber 23 automatic chronograph movement that’s COSC-certification for chronometer accuracy. The new version also matches the original’s waterproofness rating at a meager 30-meters – the one down-side to this otherwise-stellar recreation. Sold with a textured brown nubuck strap, the Breitling Top Time Limited Edition is available now for $4,990.
