Breitling’s revived Top Time Racing collection has always been about capturing the free-spirited energy of the 1960s rally scene, and the new B01 Racing edition brings that legacy into the present day. Three new limited editions—including the Top Time B01 Racing—capture that high-octane spirit in striking detail. Each is limited to just 750 pieces, and comes in a heritage-sized 38mm cushion-shaped case, with the signature “squircle” subdials and a bold dashboard-style dial inspired by vintage racing instrumentation. At their core is Breitling’s Manufacture Calibre 01—an in-house COSC-certified chronograph movement with a 70-hour power reserve, column wheel and vertical clutch for ultra-smooth timekeeping under pressure. The Top Time B01 Racing comes in two distinct colourways: one pairing timeless black-and-white contrast on the dial with a beige leather strap, the other taking the bold route with green with white counters and a matching green leather strap.

The Tag Heuer Monaco needs little introduction. Immortalised by American actor Steve McQueen in the 1971 film Le Mans, the Monaco embodies the cinematic glamour and fearless cool of motorsport’s golden era. The new limited-edition Monaco Chronograph x Gulf reimagines this legend with a fresh nod to the Gulf racing livery that made it an icon. Its square 39mm titanium case is instantly recognisable, complemented by blue and orange stripes across the silver-hued dial, and black opaline subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock. The watch is powered by the Calibre 11, which is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, and is limited to 971 pieces, in a nod to the year Le Mans was released.

Tudor’s link with racing runs deep, from the open roads of the ‘50s to the 2025 Formula One grid. The Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” embodies this legacy with a stealthy carbon fibre case, carbon fibre bezel and even carbon fibre sub-counters—all inspired by the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One team. The fixed carbon fibre bezel sports a tachymetric scale, perfect for tracking speed, while the domed “racing white” dial features aesthetic codes from the 2025 Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One car, with contrasting carbon fibre circular sub-counters for the chronograph. Inside, the Manufacture Calibre MT5813 is COSC-certified, offering a robust 70-hour power reserve, silicon balance spring and a column wheel chronograph with vertical clutch for smooth, precise timing. Paired with a hybrid leather-rubber strap and carbon fibre accents throughout, this watch will be produced in a limited run of 2,025 pieces.

This 45mm limited-edition watch is built around a skeletonised Valjoux A05.951 automatic chronograph movement, fully visible through the see-through dial—offering a fascinating glimpse of its beating heart. The brake-disc bezel and textured silicone strap echo the mechanics of a superbike, while the caseback proudly bears the MotoGP insignia. A 68-hour power reserve means it’s ready for endurance, just like the riders who push the limits of speed. Delivered in a helmet-shaped presentation box and limited to 2,025 pieces worldwide, this is a timepiece that carries the sound of engines and the spirit of champions with every tick.

Keep an eye out this November for the arrival of independent Swiss watchmaker H. Moser & Cie. at Raffles City. Its Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine Limited Edition is a breathtaking demonstration of contemporary haute horlogerie, made in collaboration with Alpine Motorsports. The fully skeletonised 42.3mm steel case reveals the three-dimensional HMC 811 calibre, featuring a rare one-minute flying tourbillon with a cylindrical hairspring—painstakingly shaped by hand and combined with a gold, openworked rotor. A translucent domed dial made from synthetic spinel in Alpine’s signature blue sits at 12 o’clock, adding depth and a pop of colour. Limited to just 100 pieces, this is a piece for collectors who appreciate craftsmanship at the highest level.
These five exceptional timepieces are more than instruments of precision, they are reminders to live boldly, take the corners with confidence and chase the thrill of speed in your own time.
Discover them at Raffles City as part of the Race to Indulgence 2025 campaign, happening from 11 August to 5 October.
