Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali united a nation through their professional rivalry and extraordinary real-life friendship. Now, Breitling unveils two vibrant limited-edition chronographs dedicated to the Italian cyclists’ legacy of resilience and achievement. Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling honors their legacy with a pair of limited-edition Top Time watches that celebrate Coppi and Bartali’s lasting impact on sports and society. Featuring striking colors inspired by their bikes and jerseys, these timeless modern chronographs bring their story to life.
The Top Time B01 Fausto Coppi features turquoise subdials on a white dial, with an orange lightning-shaped seconds hand echoing the colors of Coppi’s bike. The Top Time B01 Gino Bartali comes in a blue dial with yellow accents, inspired by his memorable jersey. Both 750-piece limited editions feature their nicknames on the tachymeter scale: “Il Campionissimo” (Champion of Champions) for Coppi and “L’Intramontabile” (The Timeless) for Bartali. Their signatures at six o’clock make the connection even more personal.
