Breitling Top Time Vintage Ref. 810 Venus 175 Caliber Panda Dial 1960s, 810

This vintage Breitling Top Time chronograph reference 810 is a rare find for collectors of 1960s Swiss watches. The 38 mm gold-plated case houses a striking silver "Panda" dial with black chronograph sub-dials and a distinctive red central chronograph hand. The watch retains its original signed winding crown and round pushers, and the stainless steel snap back is clean with all markings intact, including the serial and reference numbers.

This manually-wound Breitling is powered by the legendary Venus 178 column-wheel caliber, a 17-jewel Swiss movement widely regarded as one of the finest chronograph movements of the last century. The three-register layout includes constant seconds at nine o'clock, a 30-minute counter at three o'clock, and a 12-hour register at six o'clock. All chronograph functions—start, stop, and reset—operate correctly. The movement runs well, though a fresh service is recommended since it hasn't been recently maintained.

The watch comes on a 19 mm black leather strap with white stitching and an aftermarket Breitling buckle, ready to wear. Measuring 47 mm lug to lug, 12 mm thick, and weighing 57 grams, it wears comfortably on the wrist. No box or papers are included. This is an excellent opportunity to own a genuine vintage Breitling Top Time with the desirable Panda dial and Venus 178 movement—a true collector's piece that combines 1960s charm with reliable Swiss engineering.
