Since its launch in mid-2024, the replica Breitling Top Time Classic Cars collection has shifted the Top Time’s place within the brand hierarchy from an entry-level, youthful chronograph series to a more sophisticated, lifestyle-oriented premium collection. This revamped lineup emphasizes frequent collaborations, exquisite craftsmanship, and visual references to some of America’s most iconic cars. The Top Time’s upscale transition shows no signs of stopping in 2023, as replica Breitling’s newest releases elevate the collection by introducing a tourbillon for the first time. While these exciting new features are certainly eye-catching, the replica Breitling Top Time B21 Classic Cars Chronograph Tourbillon collection—including the replica Breitling Top Time B21 Ford Mustang, replica Breitling Top Time B21 Shelby Cobra, and replica Breitling Top Time B21 Chevrolet Corvette—elevates the Top Time series into luxurious territory through unique materials, refined aesthetics, and more understated branding than earlier models.
Interestingly, the watches within the new replica Breitling Chronograph do not all share the same dimensions. While the replica Top Time B21 Shelby Cobra and replica Top Time B21 Chevrolet Corvette sport 44mm black ceramic cases, the replica Top Time B21 Ford Mustang features a slightly smaller warm bronze case at 43mm. Nonetheless, visual differences between the two designs are minimal, aside from the materials used. Both cases exhibit a broader, more striking version of the Top Time’s recognizable mid-century sporty silhouette, complete with slightly tapered lugs, narrow bezels, and beautifully brushed case sides. As expected, all three models come with sapphire display casebacks, providing an unobstructed view of the internal movements. Although these represent more luxurious versions of the base Top Time platform, replica Breitling retains the sporty edge, ensuring that all three models are water-resistant up to 100 meters.
Similar to their standard chronograph counterparts, the Fake Breitling Top Time B21 Classic Cars Chronograph Tourbillon collection features dials inspired by the renowned cars they represent. However, these models take a more understated approach, using subdued colors and avoiding prominent automotive branding in visuals. All three watches share the same dial configuration, showcasing an outer tachymeter ring in black, the signature “squircle”-shaped 60-minute chronograph subdial at 6 o’clock, and a matching rounded-square cutout for the tourbillon escapement at 12 o’clock. Each model then takes this layout in its own unique stylistic direction. The replica Top Time B21 Ford Mustang, with its bronze case and coordinated dial elements, features a vertically brushed Highland Green dial that delivers a rich, classic color palette. In contrast, the replica Top Time B21 Shelby Cobra opts for a more serious look, showcasing a desaturated navy blue brushed dial and a blacked-out tourbillon bridge. The standout of the trio is arguably the replica Top Time B21 Chevrolet Corvette, which focuses on the car’s dashboard rather than a paint-inspired dial. Its surface is crafted from a single piece of walnut burl wood, offering a captivating blend of highlights, shadows, and textures. Wood dials are quite rare in modern luxury watches, but the result is visually striking, nuanced, and genuinely appealing.
All three models in the replica Breitling Top Time B21 Classic Cars Chronograph Tourbillon series utilize the Calibre B21 automatic tourbillon chronograph movement. Introduced in the 2022 replica Breitling Premier B21 Chronograph Tourbillon, the B21 was developed in collaboration with movement specialist La Joux-Perret. The result is a remarkably reliable movement, featuring a 55-hour power reserve at a 28,800 bph beat rate, along with COSC certified chronometer accuracy. In terms of finishing, the Calibre B21 presents a crisp and modern look, if not particularly spectacular in images. The mainplate showcases broad perlage, accented by vertical brushing and anglage on the upper three-quarter plate, while the engraved skeleton rotor also features a harmonious blend of vertical brushing and anglage. Unsurprisingly, the tourbillon serves as the visual highlight, thanks to its contrasting metals and the gracefully arcing lower tourbillon bridge. All three models are completed with a faux-perforated rally-style leather deployant strap in either midnight blue or cognac brown.
