Active at the very peak of cycling from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s, Eddy Merckx is widely regarded as the greatest road cyclist of all time. With 11 Grand Tour titles, 19 Monument victories, and 525 total wins, he excelled across every discipline and terrain the sport had to offer. His legacy is defined by achievements that remain unmatched to this day. To honor the legendary cyclist, Breitling created the Top Time B01 Eddy Merckx edition. This Top Time features a yellow dial bearing Eddy Merckx's signature above the 6 o’clock index, while his name appears on the tachymeter scale. Created in the 1960s as Breitling’s “unconventional chronograph,” the Top Time was made for speed, style, and self-expression. It features signature details, including squircle subdials, mushroom pushers, trim proportions, and a balanced layout that stay true to its origins. Limited to 525 pieces, this special edition pays tribute to Merckx’s remarkable 525 victories.
