Breitling and Aston Martin have reunited to introduce the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a new collection inspired by the legendary grand tourer that became a symbol of British design and innovation after its 1963 debut. The launch also recalls the memorable pairing of the Top Time chronograph and the Aston Martin DB5 in the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball.

Inspired by the DB5’s elegant interiors, the watches feature wood inlays, hand-colored gradient leather straps, cushion-shaped cases, and dashboard-inspired subdials that blend Aston Martin’s craftsmanship with Breitling’s vintage Top Time design. Powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 with a 70-hour power reserve, each timepiece is visible through a sapphire caseback with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor.

The collection includes three limited editions: stainless steel with a silver dial (1,022 pieces), steel with a platinum bezel and black dial (315 pieces), and an 18k red gold version with a natural onyx dial (250 individually numbered pieces), marking Breitling’s first use of the gemstone.
