A Modern Classic with a Legacy in Motion

Breitling’s Top Time B31 is a timepiece that effortlessly bridges past and present—an ode to vintage motoring heritage, refined through the lens of contemporary design and precision craftsmanship. Now available for pre-order at Hardy Brothers, this collection encapsulates Breitling’s enduring commitment to individuality, innovation, and timeless style.

Inspired by the Open Road

First introduced in the 1960s, the Breitling Top Time quickly became an emblem of youthful energy and freedom. It was bold, unconventional, and designed for those who sought something different from traditional watchmaking. Today, the Top Time B31 builds on that spirit with thoughtful design details that nod to the golden era of motoring—most notably, its dial, which echoes the gauges of vintage dashboard clocks.

Available in three expressive colourways—green, blue, and a two-tone white and sky-blue, each model offers a distinct personality. Whether paired with a three-row stainless steel bracelet or a perforated calfskin strap inspired by classic racing gloves, the B31 delivers a versatile silhouette that suits any wrist.

Heritage Meets Innovation

The 38mm case offers a refined blend of vintage proportions and modern wearability, making it ideal for both collectors and first-time enthusiasts. Beneath the surface lies the Breitling Caliber B31, the brand’s first in-house three-hand movement. COSC-certified and equipped with a 78-hour power reserve, this calibre exemplifies the technical mastery that underpins every Breitling timepiece.

A sapphire-crystal case back reveals the intricate mechanics within an intimate feature reserved for those who appreciate the art of horology.

A Star Ambassador and a Global Stage

In a fitting tribute to the collection’s cinematic flair, Academy Award-nominated actor Austin Butler has joined the Breitling family as the face of the Top Time B31. Known for his transformative roles and timeless style, Butler embodies the same spirit of individuality, elegance, and edge that defines the collection. His partnership with Breitling signals a new chapter in the brand’s legacy, one where heritage meets Hollywood.

Designed for the Journey

Whether navigating the open road or embracing the rhythm of everyday life, the Breitling Top Time B31 is a celebration of freedom, precision, and self-expression. It invites wearers to forge their own path, armed with a watch that honours the past while embracing the present.

At Hardy Brothers, we are proud to present the Top Time B31 as part of our curated Breitling offering. This is more than a timepiece, it’s a declaration of style, purpose, and adventure.
