Swiss luxury watch brand Breitling presents a special edition Top Time model to mark its partnership with Australian lifestyle brand Deus Ex Machina.
Breitling is now also the official timekeeper of the Deus Swank Rally – the epic motorcycle championship celebrating vintage bikes in diverse locations around the world, including Italy, France, Australia, and Bali.
Co-designed with Deus Ex Machina, the Top Time Deus chronograph is a nod to Breitling’s original 1960s edition and a true tribute to the nomad spirit.
Bold yet classy, this new version sports a racing-themed calfskin leather strap. Its silver dial displays yellow and orange details, squircle-shaped chronograph counters, and the Deus logo and its adage “In benzin veritas” – offset in white on its black tachymeter scale.
The back of its 41-millimeter stainless-steel case features the iconic Deus artwork of a retro-looking motorcyclist in full flight designed by Deus creative director Carby Tuckwell. It is powered by the Breitling Caliber 23, a COSC certified chronometer with a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.
The Top Time Deus chronograph is a limited edition of 1,500 pieces. In its first four weeks, the Top Time Deus will be an online exclusive before hitting Breitling’s global retail network. Customers who order the watch online at http://www.breitling.com will also get a stunning limited edition Deus coffee table book and unique canvas tote bag.
