Originally launched in the 1960s, the Top Time had a clear mission: to suit the needs of “the young and active professionals” with a range of “ultra-modern chronographs”. The sports watch appealed not only to that demographic, but also to those attracted by its bold lines. The Top Time Deus will appeal to bikers, boarders and backpackers, all looking for the freedom to explore the world their own way, at their own pace. Featuring a 41-millimetre stainless-steel case matched to a brown racing-themed calfskin leather strap, the Top Time Deus features yellow and orange details, a lightning-bolt-shaped chronograph hand on top of squircle-shaped chronograph counters, Deus’ adage “In benzin veritas” and a retro-looking motorcyclist in rally racer mode - by Deus creative director Carby Tuckwell - engraved on the caseback. Limited to 2000 pieces, this Top Time is powered by the Breitling Caliber 23, a COSC-certified chronometer.
