Breitling · Family: Top Time
The Breitling Top Time B31 ref. AB3113281A1X1 is a 38mm steel sport-elegant automatic with a cream dial and date window, launched in 2025 as the first three-hand piece within the Top Time line, until then associated exclusively with 1960s motoring-heritage chronographs. It runs the in-house Caliber B31, with roughly 78 hours of power reserve, Breitling's first proprietary three-hand-and-date caliber built from the ground up. Cazador has no verified price observations yet for this reference. Its stand-out detail: the Top Time collection was born in 1964 as a youth-oriented motoring chronograph, and a modified version with a hidden Geiger counter appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in the James Bond film 'Thunderball' (1965).

Breitling was founded in 1884 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, by Léon Breitling, and moved its headquarters to La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1892, establishing itself over the 20th century as one of the reference houses for chronographs and precision aviation instruments.
The Top Time collection was born in 1964 as a chronograph aimed at a young, motoring-minded audience, with a more casual look than other lines the brand offered at the time. A modified version with a hidden Geiger counter appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in 'Thunderball' (1965), the fourth James Bond film, an episode still cited in the collection's marketing narrative. Breitling revived Top Time as a heritage line in 2019-2020, with limited-edition chronographs echoing the spirit of the original 1960s models.
In 2025 the brand took a further step by introducing Caliber B31 within the Top Time family: the first in-house three-hand-and-date movement Breitling has developed entirely from scratch, rather than adapting an existing chronograph caliber. With 78 hours of power reserve and a 28,800-vibrations-per-hour frequency, the B31 powers a 38mm steel case with a cream dial in reference AB3113281A1X1, marking Top Time's entry into the three-hand segment beyond its chronograph tradition.
This is the first Top Time family reference Cazador adds, distinct from the Navitimer, Chronomat, Superocean, Avenger, and Premier lines already in the catalog, adding the debut of a newly introduced in-house caliber to the encyclopedia.
