So, from what I'm reading, it sounds like the Transocean line, generally, is being killed off. Certain models, like the day-date, seem to have transitioned into the new Premier line. BUT...
For me, one of the all-time Breitling classics is the Top Time (ref. 810). I think it is fair to say that the TOC is the modern-day re-incarnation of this reference (albeit in a larger size). Given what Kern has been saying about reviving/preserving Breitling's heritage, I would be utterly surprised -- and disappointed -- to learn that this particular model is going away for good.
That being said, it makes me wonder whether the TOC, as such, is being dropped, only to re-appear in the new Premier B01 Chronograph case as the new "Top Time"? One way or the other, I truly hope that this classic look is not disappearing from Breitling's catalogue...
