The Breitling Top Time B01 Eddy Merckx timepiece has been debuted in honor of the namesake cyclist and the Tour de France as an accessory that's at once historical and aesthetic. The watch measures in with a 41mm stainless steel case that holds the Breitling B01 automatic chronograph COSC-certified movement within that's supported by a 70-hour power reserve. The watch features a dial inspired by Merckx's signature yellow jersey with a series of squircle subdials along with a light blue central chrono hand and is finished with the racer's signature at the six o'clock point.

The Breitling Top Time B01 Eddy Merckx timepiece is limited to 525 examples and comes in leather strap and mesh bracelet options priced starting at $8,050.
