A Close Look at Triumph's 2023 Limited Edition Speed Twin Breitling (video review included)

Triumph known for their retro style and British heritage design has teamed up with Swiss brand Breitling known for their precision Navitimer and Chronomat watches in a partnership to create two special editions: a watch and a motorcycle-the Triumph Speed Twin Breitling Limited Edition motorcycle- a bike that comes with a matching watch if you're so inclined.

Pictured above is the Speed Twin Breitling Limited Edition, which will be available later this year as a 2023 model with a total of 270 units available at a U.S. MSRP of $18,300.

The Speed Twin Breitling Limited Edition, incorporates styling features from Triumph and Breitling watches. It features a unique polychromatic blue paint scheme matched to the original 1951 Triumph Thunderbird color with hand painted coach line detailing.

The Speed Twin Breitling Limited Edition receives unique engine detailing with Billet machined aluminum clutch and alternator embellishers with a dark anodized finish.

For the premium you will be paying over the standard Triumph Speed Twin (close to $6,000), you actually get a number of interesting features. To begin with, each motorcycle will have a limited edition number on it, as well as instrument faces with Breitling watch style elements, a perforated leather seat with stitched Breitling logo, and other Breitling style elements found on the engine cases and handlebar clamp.

Another unique feature is the pair of Ohlins fully adjustable twin rear shocks. They look the business and likely offer the best rear suspension available on a retro model.

If you order before August 2, 2022, you can order a Breitling Top Triumph limited edition chronograph watch, which will have a matching, personalized edition number. You can find out more details and specifications on Triumph’s web site for this model.
