Top Time B01 Gino Bartali

Introduced in the transformative 1960s, Willy Breitling’s unconventional line of racing-inspired chronographs captured the era’s freewheeling vibe. Today, the new Top Time collection channels that adrenaline-fueled energy, blending modern-retro design with cutting-edge performance. Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali weren’t just champions—they were symbols of sportsmanship. Both were Breitling ambassadors at a time when the brand was the official timekeeper for cycling’s greatest races and their love of the sport inspired millions. The Top Time B01 Gino Bartali features a blue dial with yellow accents, inspired by his memorable jersey. The chronograph features Bartali’s nickname on the tachymeter scale : “L’Intramontabile” (The Timeless), and its signature at six o’clock makes the connection even more personal. The 41 mm chronograph runs on Breitling’s Manufacture Caliber 01, offering COSC-certified precision and a 70-hour power reserve. A transparent caseback reveals the intricate movement, its outer ring engraved with “Gino Bartali Tribute” and “One of 750.” Unforgettable in its time, reimagined for ours, the Top Time B01 Bartali honors the resilience and friendships forged even in the fiercest competition.
