The Top Time line of wristwatches was introduced by Breitling in 1964 to appeal to a younger audience. They were robust timepieces able to withstand active lifestyles, and priced at a much lower point than Breitling’s other chronographs. Over time, they became an icon also thanks to the many celebrities who donned them. Most notably, a Top Time (ref. 2002) is one of only two watches worn by Sean Connery/James Bond (the other being of course the Rolex Submariner) and the first Q-modified timepiece to ever appear in the movie series (specifically, in Thunderbird).

Reference 810.3 was introduced in 1969 and was available in 3 iterations: the present “Panda”, a “Reverse Panda” and a fully silvered one. The present watch features a movement stamped WOG, denoting the American original sale location.
