On the right side, we have the piston chronograph pushers and a signed crown. A polished, smooth bezel holds a domed sapphire crystal sitting above a beige bi-compax dial. An outer navy blue, orange and red accents Tachymetre “In Benzin Veritas,” Latin meaning “God out of the machine is the truth in gasoline”, is precisely printed with a minute track underneath, lume pips and baton indexes mark the hours coated in Superluminova. At 3 o’clock, a 30-minute register with a navy blue background, red stick hand and at 9 o’clock, a continuous seconds register with a navy blue background, yellow stick hand complete this colourful, sporty dual-branded bi-compax.

Breitling certainly had a bit of a wobble from the 2000s into the 2010s, but I have to say in the 2020s the brand has been knocking it out of the park with their releases and these Dues Top Time models are one of those hits. The colour pairing on the dial works beautifully, and it is a surprising strap monster. Whether or not you are a fan, or even know who the Australian brand Deus Ex Machina is, the collaboration and use of the logo looks amazing on the dial; it really harks back to a bygone era of logo dials. I would not hesitate to add one of these to your collection today, the value for money is amazing!

Breitling was established in 1884 by Leon Breitling in the Swiss Jura Mountains; in 1915, Gaston Breitling introduced a pusher at 2 o’clock to start, stop and reset the chronograph; Leon later moved the reset to a pusher at 4 o’clock. In 1939 Breitling shipped a huge quantity of chronographs to the Royal Air Force; during the war with Germany surrounding Switzerland, Leon and some friends created a makeshift runway near their factory. Planes would use the car's headlights as a guide to land; once on the ground, they were quickly loaded, taking off before the Germans knew what was going on. They introduced the “Navitimer,” a navigation computer, in 1952, which was used to calculate a flight plan. In 1969, they collaborated with Heuer, Burne, and Dubois-Depraz on a top-secret project called Project 99; together, they developed one of the first self-winding chronograph movements. Breitling stands for high precision, outstanding performance, and functionality. During the early days of space exploration, Lt. Commander Scott Carpenter went around the Earth three times while wearing a modified Navitimer. In 2017, they were sold to CVC Capital Partners, Europe's largest private equity firm.
