Developed in collaboration with Australian lifestyle brand Deus Ex Machina, the second version of the hit watch, along with new collaborative apparel, revives the nomadic spirit of Breitling’s bohemian chronograph from the 1960s.
Breitling and Australian motorcycle and surf specialist Deus Ex Machina have teamed up again to create a limited edition Top Time Deus Chronograph. This is the second collaboration between the two brands following their first sold-out watch release in 2021.
The new Top Time Deus, limited to 2,000 pieces, is made for road adventures with luminous indexes, a white lacquered dial that contrasts with the sky blue sub-dials and a tachymeter scale to measure speed. While the color scheme is brand new, the details that made the first collaboration so successful are back, including a lightning bolt-shaped chronograph hand, mushroom-shaped pushers, a racing-themed calfskin strap, and an engraved caseback featuring a Deus bicycle and motorcyclist. , designed by Deus Creative Director Carby Tuckwell. Each caseback is marked “One of 2000”.
Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling, says, “Top Time Deus is a watch that’s easygoing, rugged, and stylish at the same time, just like the person it’s made for. The modern-retro look beautifully complements the way Deus styles its boards and bikes.”
The unconventional Breitling Top Time Chronograph was first introduced in the 1960s and quickly became a favorite of the stylish café racer and sports car crowd. Their bold proportions and graphic dials appealed to men and women alike. Today, the Top Time remains the Breitling watch for bikers, boarders, surfers and digital nomads, and its 41mm diameter fits most wrists.

DEUS EX MACHINA
Deus Ex Machina (god from the machine) roared into Australia’s cultural consciousness in 2006, with some neatly customized motorcycles and a quaint notion that doing something is more fun than just owning something. Deus Ex Machina is a step bigger than a brand: it’s a culture. Our openness and enthusiasm strike a chord with people, wherever they are.
Deus (“day-us”) didn’t set out only to sell hand-built motorcycles and quality clothing for free spirits, but to celebrate a culture of creativity. All are welcomed under the Deus roof, where there’s respect for the honesty and enjoyment of the machine. Inclusiveness, authenticity, enthusiasm. It’s a simple and sincere pitch that has winged Deus Ex Machina across the world. Deus Ex Machina says simply there’s no “right way” to do individualism, it’s all the same juice.
