Breitling gives the Aston Martin DB5 its own wood-trimmed Top Time

The steel Top Time B01 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5 takes its design cues from the celebrated 1963 grand tourer without turning the dial into a literal dashboard. A silver sunray dial is framed by a wooden inner bezel inspired by the car’s steering wheel, while black squircle counters and mushroom pushers recall 1960s chronographs. The 41mm cushion-shaped case sits on a hand-coloured brown leather strap.

Reference AB0178121G1X1 is limited to 1,022 pieces. Inside is Breitling’s COSC-certified Manufacture Calibre 01 automatic chronograph, with a column wheel, vertical clutch and approximately 70 hours of reserve. The movement is visible through a sapphire back carrying Aston Martin branding. The model was introduced on 20 July 2026.
