II\" (Ref. 810) Matte Black Dial","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe all know Breitling for their impressive and collectible chronographs, from the early ref. 806 Navitimers to their more colorful designs of the 70s. The Top-Time was introduced in 1964 by Breitling as the watch for the \"next generation\", catering to a younger and more rebellious demographic of the 1960s, and at a lower price point than their more specialized timepieces, such as the Navitimer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Breitling Top-Time ref. 810 is a beautifully designed and oversized chronograph that boasts a robust 38mm case with thick, straight lugs. The ref. 810 was produced in several different case designs throughout its production. The very first case design, or Mk. I case, was a monocoque case by EPSA that was quickly replaced with a snapping back case that carried over to the Mk. II case design. The Mk. I case featured a slimmer profile through the lugs and bezel, whereas the Mk. II cases featured much thicker broad lugs. Throughout the lifespan of the Breitling ref. 810, there was a commonality between the two different Breitling 810 cases, however, and that is the workhorse Venus 178 chronograph movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"2%\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"47%\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBRT810-5\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eBreitling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eTop Time Chronograph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e810\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e128XXXX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMen's\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMatte Black W\/ Silver Sub-Dials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMillimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e38\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eBracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eVintage JB Champion Bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCASE \u0026amp; BRACELET\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe excellent oversized case retains full and symmetrical factory dimensions and crisp lines throughout, while also exhibiting honest signs of previous use.
