Breitling used the backdrop of the Wheels & Waves surf-and-motorcycle festival in Biarritz, France, to launch the two latest editions
to its Top Time range. Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 
The brand’s “unconventional chronograph”, first released in the 1960s, started as a boldly designed tribute to the freewheeling spirit of its era. Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 
Today, the racing chronograph maintains its strong identity while being all about motorbikes, classic cars, and adventure on the open road.

The two new pieces build on the success of Breitling’s past collaborations with Deus Ex Machina and Triumph Motorcycles, and take them into high gear with the introduction of the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.

“These co-branded Top Time watches are for those who are as into the mechanics of their watch as they are the mechanics of their motorcycle,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “The Breitling Caliber 01 is a finely tuned engine, created with all the precision and attention to detail that goes into building the perfect bike.”
BACK, IN BLACK: THE TOP TIME DEUS

Hot on the heels of two sold-out
limited editions,
Breitling and the Australian custom motorcycle and surf outfitter
Deus Ex Machina have joined forces on a third installment of the
Top Time Deus, set to become part of
Breitling’s core collection.

The new piece presents a monochromatic departure from its colorful predecessors, with a black dial contrasted by its white triple-register subdials and tachymeter scale. It works on either a black racing-themed calfskin leather strap or a mesh metal bracelet.

Where the color comes in are with touches of red on the outer dial and – most vividly – on the centerpiece chrono hand that, like the two previous
Top Time Deus editions, is shaped like a lightning bolt.

Once again, the sublime engine behind this watch is the

Caliber 01, whose open sapphire-crystal caseback features a red
Deus logo at its center.
THE CHRONOGRAPH PERFECTED:
BREITLING’S MANUFACTURE CALIBER 01
If you’ve been following the Top Time story, you might remember that, back in March, Breitling re-released its Top Time Classic Cars series with the Breitling Caliber 01.

Now the Top Time Triumph and Deus are getting the Breitling 01 treatment, too. So what makes this movement so special? First introduced in 2009, Breitling’s flagship manufacture caliber was designed from the ground up, incorporating over a century of watchmaking expertise. Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 
It has gone on to become the industry benchmark for chronograph movements, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics. The
Caliber 01 is equipped with a column-wheel system, the hallmark of high-end mechanical chronograph movements, and a vertical clutch that provides precise and smooth operation.

The movement holds its power for approximately 70 hours (versus 38 to 48 hours for non-manufacture). Its clever modular design allows for easy cleaning and servicing by giving access to specific caliber areas without the need for a full disassembly.

Breitling is so confident in the quality of its manufacture calibers that it offers them with a
5-year warranty (compared to
2 years for non-manufacture).

That’s because they’re subject to a meticulous quality-control process. It takes 10 months of production and
1,000 tests to earn
COSC certification for accuracy. On top of that,
Breitling puts its manufacture movements through a grueling 16-year accelerated aging equivalency that involves rigorous shock testing (approx.
60,000 shocks at 500 g), crown testing (more than
100,000 crown winds), winding of the oscillating weight (
3,456,000 weight turns) and chronograph-pusher testing (approx.
5,840 start-stop-reset engagements).

Only when a Breitling watch has passed its tests can it leave the Chronometrie. “The integration of the Breitling Caliber 01 into the Top Time range shows the emphasis we’re putting on our in-house craftsmanship and expertise,” says Kern. “So stay tuned for future developments from the Breitling Chronometrie. Because this is just the beginning.”

DEUS EX MACHINA
Deus Ex Machina (god from the machine) roared into Australia’s cultural consciousness in 2006, with some neatly customized motorcycles and a quaint notion that doing something is more fun than just owning something. Deus Ex Machina is a step bigger than a brand: it’s a culture. Our openness and enthusiasm strike a chord with people, wherever they are.
Deus (“day-us”) didn’t set out only to sell hand-built motorcycles and quality clothing for free spirits, but to celebrate a culture of creativity. All are welcomed under the Deus roof, where there’s respect for the honesty and enjoyment of the machine. Inclusiveness, authenticity, enthusiasm. It’s a simple and sincere pitch that has winged Deus Ex Machina across the world. Deus Ex Machina says simply there’s no “right way” to do individualism, it’s all the same juice.
