Breitling Top Time Chronograph Gold Plate (Ref. 810-24) Black Dial, 1966

Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

The Breitling Top-Time ref. 810-24 was essentially a simbling reference to the 810 Mk II model, sharing many similarities in design. Both of which are beautifully designed, oversized chronographs powered by the Venus cal. 178, and boast robust 38mm cases with similar dial details. Though the main difference between the two models was the lug design of the case, with the 810-24 featuring long curved lugs with chamfers, whereas the 810 featured a simpler straight lug design.
