Today it's a special Top Time...this was a collaboration with the Swiss resort Cervo and Breitling. Only 54 were made and they could only be purchased at and if you were a guest of the Cervo resort. I loved the dial colors and wanted this watch. I convinced the resort to sell me their last watch during Covid when no one could travel. They could not ship it out of Switzerland, so I had it shipped to a good colleague based in Switzerland and then waited two years for it when travel resumed. Sometimes it's the watch...and sometimes it's the story...for this one it's both...

Outstanding Chrono Mel. What a journey and story.

That's a great back story and some serious patiences🙏

Thanks Kostas - it was definitely the thrill of the chase.

Thanks - it was my warm-up for ordering watches from independents that take 1-2 years to get completed. You send your money in and hope there's something at the end of the rainbow. At least for this one, I knew the watch was in good hands.
This watch in this color and this configuration is awesome. I congratulate you for convincing the resort as usually one receives a NO for this special petitions. I bet you have this watch amongst your favorites. I really like this particular #breitling model (Deus?)

Thanks for the kind words! I really do love this Top Time variant. It will always have special significance and will also remind me of Lockdown.

Thanks Jamie - if my travel plans take me to Birmingham I will make sure to pack this watch for the trip.
Some great bands came out of Birmingham: ELO, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slade, Spencer Davis, Traffic, The Move, Idle Race, etc.
