The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi everyone,
glad to see that there's a proper forum for Breitling owners!!
I have a question which I hope someone out there could help me with:

I was given a Top Time by my father a few years ago. Unfortunately he can't remember what the original strap looked like.
Does anybody know anything about this? Was it leather (black, brown, stitches?) or perhaps a metal strap?

I would really appreciate any help I can get. Or if someone could point me in the right direction to someone who might know (I've already been in touch with Breitling HQ).
I've attached an image of the watch.
Thanks!

Check the ones pictured in the 69 catalog.

Your watch is probably from around 1970 and would have had either a lizard or gator strap most likely.

You might try one of these two ebay shops.

Have a lot of vintage and odd sized straps.

Modern straps but with a vintage feel.

Have a look at my earlier post featuring advertising from 1967.

Good close up of a similar watch, guess your dad was
one of the "Swinging Set".
