Breitling Top Time 2002‑33 – Panda Dial – 36mm – Manual Wind – 1969
Just arrived back in stock on 28 April, this outstanding Breitling Top Time reference 2002‑33 has undergone a complete full service, been fitted with a new leather strap, and received a light sympathetic polish. It is now presented in perfect working order and excellent overall condition — ready to wear and enjoy.
Introduced in 1964, the Top Time was Breitling’s youthful, modern chronograph, offering a fresher alternative to the more technical Navitimer and Chronomat. This silver “panda” dial configuration is one of the most attractive and desirable variants and dates this example to 1969.

Our View
Vintage chronographs like the Top Time have a completely different wrist feel compared to modern pieces — thinner, lighter and far more subtle. This is part of their appeal. The Top Time gained additional fame when a modified example was worn by Sean Connery as James Bond in Thunderball (1965), cementing its cultural significance.
The 2002‑33 is particularly desirable for its balanced proportions, beautiful panda dial and classic 1960s chronograph styling. This is not a re‑edition — the look and feel are unmistakably vintage, and from across the room it reads as something special. A superb example of one of Breitling’s most charismatic references.
