A very fine example of the Breitling Top Time, with a few valuable extras included. Model reference 2007/33.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1969.
CONDITION
The Top Time was a very good seller, so you will find plenty of them for sale despite being 40 plus years old. But this example has several things that make it stand out. First it has the blue reverse panda dial, instead of the more commonly found Silver dial. Some online guides will tell you that the blue dial wasn’t available, but we have fond another example on the Breitling: The Book which was published by Breitling themselves in 2009. This watch also has a service box and cleaning cloth from Breitling, and the case back sticker is from Breitling service centre. We do not have the paper evidence that this was recently serviced, but everything suggests this – including a new Breitling leather strap and modern Breitling buckle. The case is in fine condition, without the wear you sometimes see on the corners of the Top Time models. The Valjoux 7733 manual wind movement is working perfectly, and signed for Breitling Watch Ltd. We doubt you will find a better example currently available for sale.
This watch will be supplied with a Breitling service box, cleaning cloth and our Certificate of Authenticity.
This watch has been checked against the Watch Register and has not been reported as lost, stolen or implicated in fraud, and a copy of that certificate will also be included.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
