Engineering:Breitling Top Time
From HandWiki
Breitling Top Time is a COSC-certified chronograph introduced in 1964 by Swiss watch brand Breitling SA. The watch appeared in the 1965 James Bond movie Thunderball: Bond is given a Breitling Top Time which contains a geiger counter to track down two stolen nuclear warheads. After the movie was filmed, the watch disappeared and later resurfaced in a car boot sale in England in 2012, where it was purchased for GB£25. It later sold at Christie's auction house for over GB£100,000.[1][2] (In the same film, the SPECTRE pilot who hijacks the Vulcan bomber wears a Breitling Navitimer).
The most recent version of the watch is produced with an in-house Breitling movement.[3]
