Motorsports has flirted with watchmaking on-and-off-track for nearly a century, creating icons in the process. Those golden (engine) roars of the Sixties can be heard to date. With post-war modernism taking over the world, watchmakers, too, sought new paths \u2014 Patek Philippe embraced the art of hyper-mechanical brilliance, OMEGA took to the cosmos, Breitling focused on chronometric accuracy, and TAG Heuer \u2018reshaped\u2019 their appearance. Two prominent creations from the \u201860s were the Breitling Top Time and TAG Heuer Monaco \u2013 one inspired by the vibrancy of sportscars and the other by the adrenaline of the racetrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re comparing these two motoring icons, tracing their legacies back to their origin, their evolution through time and the icons they\u2019ve become today \u2014 Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the TAG Heuer Monaco and Breitling Top Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breitling Top Time: Origins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the early Sixties, Breitling had a mission: chronometric accuracy.\u00a0 Sure, the Navitimer<\/a> and Chronomat<\/a> already were Breitling\u2019s paean of accurate timekeeping. Still, the boomers of the era yearned for a departure from traditional, mid-century designs, and a completely fresh take on the chronograph. Enter, the Breitling Top Time<\/a>, personifying this generation\u2019s spirit of modern accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First introduced in 1964, it boasted clean lines, a splash of vibrancy, and sporty double-register chronographs resembling Zoro\u2019s mask or bowties. Soon, Breitling added a third chronograph register while also experimenting with panda and reverse-panda dials variants \u2013 all cased in stainless steel, gold-plating, or 18-carat yellow gold to infuse a dose of elegance. For most, the Top Time cosmetically resembled dashboards of fast-lane cars like the Ford Mustang, Corvette Sting Ray, or even the Chevy Camaro. Sadly, as Breitling closed its doors in 1978 and was sold, the legacy of the racy Top Time came to a halt. But nearly half a century later, as Breitling found a new CEO (Georges Kern) in 2017, the Top Time was soon reinstated for duty and given a second life. Embracing its retro-chic racing aesthetics, the new Top Time proudly retains its original recipe for success: simple, sporty, and a fresh take on chronographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAG Heuer Monaco: Origins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The year is 1969 and the race was on (for automatic chronograph watches). Heuer joined forces with Breitling, Hamilton-Buren, and Dubois-Depraz to unveil the \u2018Project 99\u2019 \u2013 an automatic chronograph movement with a rewinding system that would revolutionize the watch industry. Officially launched as the Calibre 11, Heuer\u2019s new movement demanded a larger case size to accommodate its advancements. Initially destined to be housed in the Carrera<\/a> and Autavia collections which would allow it to be marketed to aviation and automobile enthusiasts, Jack Heuer took an unexpected decision. He partnered with Erwin Piquerez, a Swiss case manufacturer, striving to introduce an entirely new case silhouette for the Calibre 11. Heuer challenged the status quo of watchmaking design with a square-shaped case that guaranteed waterproofness. With two chronometric registers at three and nine o\u2019clock and a date window at six, Heuer\u2019s latest creation took its name after the legendary Monaco Formula One race \u2013 creating the ultimate sports chronograph for motorsport lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Bond Went Breitling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fourth James Bond film, Thunderball, was <\/em>released in 1965, and anyone would\u2019ve guessed 007\u2019s watch to be an OMEGA. However, things were different back then, and Bond had other preferences. While Bond (Sean Connery) wore a Breitling, it surprisingly wasn\u2019t a Navitimer (Ref. 308). In fact, Francois Derval, a French NATO pilot, was featured wearing this chronometric icon \u2013 Bond, on the other hand, wore a one-of-a-kind Top Time. The Breitling Top Time Ref. 2002 played a special supporting role in the film, winning the hearts of Bond fans and watch geeks. In the film, this Top Time was modified by Q to feature a Geiger counter \u2013 which helped Bond detect radiation emitted from the two nuclear warheads he was quested to find. Tragically, this one-of-one timepiece, built especially for Thunderball, <\/em>went missing after the film\u2019s production. This pop culture relic was lost in time, only to end up at a Christie\u2019s auction in 2013, where it sold for over \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Mans: TAG Heuer Monaco\u2019s Legacy of Endurance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Heuer launched the Calibre 11, he struck a deal with brand friend and Formula 1 driver Jo Siffert, who served as production support for 1970\u2019s Le Mans. <\/em>While the \u201cKing of Cool\u201d, Steve McQueen, was originally meant to sport an Autavia in the film, Siffert swapped it out for a Monaco 1133B for its counter-culture appearance. This went down as one of film history\u2019s most successful movie product placements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the \u201870s, McQueen was the <\/em>movie star and a prominent race car driver, placing second in the 12 Hours of Sebring driving a Porsche 908\/02. Making him a silver-screen star as well as a prominent motorsport personality with tons of fans \u2013 the kind of folks TAG Heuer was targeting for the Monaco. The square-cased, blue-dialed icon retailed for $400 at launch, but thanks to the \u201cMcQueen\u201d effect, the original movie piece sold for $2.2 million in 2020 at a Philipps auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signature Aesthetics \u2013 TAG Heuer Monaco vs Breitling Top Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon close inspection, you\u2019ll notice that Breitling\u2019s Top Time lacks any definitive or signature cuts, shapes, or secret ingredients \u2013 yet they\u2019re instantly recognizable. In my opinion, what makes the Top Time \u2018tick\u2019 differently is its dial\u2019s unapologetic vibrancy. Since its recommissioning in 2022, the Top Time has embraced its retro-chic motoring aesthetics and spared no measures in draping their dials with them. With a simplistically round stainless-steel case with dual chronograph pushers at two and four o\u2019clock and strapped in leather, its dial retains its double and triple-register layouts from the Sixties and a refreshing splash of motoring-inspired colourways. Each dial hue is designed to emulate the freedom and adrenaline of cruising on a motorcycle or revving up a sportscar \u2013 perhaps that\u2019s the Breitling Top Time\u2019s signature feat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the Monaco lives and breathes motorsport, and its most quintessential feat is its legacy with racing. Aesthetically defined by its square silhouette since \u201869, this case\u2019s sharp geometrics were designed to stand out in a sea of round-cased watches. The clean-cut stainless steel square case is paired with signature chronograph pushers, while the dial is commonly adorned in a deep blue hue with splashes of racing red, evoking the rush and colours of motorsport. First launched in 1969, the Monaco was the world\u2019s first automatic chronograph encased in a water-resistant square case. Fifty years later, the Monaco is recognized as a symbol of precision and performance. Through these generations, the Monaco has taken many aesthetical forms, but its double-register chronograph and date window layout have remained consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Configurations \u2013 Breitling Top Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All contemporary Breitling Top Time models are cased in 41 millimetres of stainless steel, being 13.3 millimetres thick. While all straps are stitched out of leather, they arrive in various colours depending on the model (brown, black, red). Dial colours are inspired by the paint jobs of iconic retro cars like the Ford Mustang (Green), Ford Thunderbird (White), Shelby Cobra (Blue), Chevrolet Corvette (Red), Triumph Motorcycles (Light Blue), and a standard brown variant. Each dial is badged with an artistic retro logo corresponding to each model\u2019s motoring muse. The Top Time employs two self-winding B01 movement variants which offer 70-hour power reserves, fitted into double-register and triple-register movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Configurations \u2013 TAG Heuer Monaco<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Kapoor Watch Company\u2019s stores, the TAG Heuer Monaco<\/a> is available in four variants. While each is square-cased in 39 millimetres of brushed stainless steel, they embrace multiple alter-egos of Monaco. Layout-wise, all models feature a signature double register chronograph setup with a date window at six. Traditionally, Monaco\u2019s dial is draped in blue \u2013 reminiscent of vintage race car liveries, carried through generations and prominently strut in contemporary catalogues too. The model Ref. CAW2111.FC6356<\/a> and Ref. CBL2111.FC6453<\/a> are quintessential examples of this racing hue at work. There\u2019s also the Ref. CAW211P.FC6356<\/a>, which boasts a slightly subtler tone of Monaco Blue. Since 1969, Monaco\u2019s dial has been an experimental creative canvas, dabbling in red, green, and silver hues while taking on skeletonized forms. The model Ref CBL2113.FC6177<\/a> perfectly expresses this with its sunray black dial. The TAG Heuer is commonly equipped with a Calibre Heuer 02 which runs automatic with a power reserve of 80 hours. All this is strapped in a three-link steel bracelet or leather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
