Baume & Mercier Clifton Club Shelby Cobra
This is a series of limited edition chronographs, elaborated in collaboration with designer Peter Brock, that celebrate life’s special achievements.
At the heart of the Baume & Mercier Clifton Club Shelby Cobra collection are 2 limited edition chronographs that exude style and performance. Featuring automatic Swiss-made movement (Valjoux 7750) for true accuracy, all elements of the design are born from the original Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, and created in consultation with Daytona designer Peter Brock.
The 44mm diameter case forged from polished and satin-finished stainless steel matches the aerodynamic contours of the timeless Daytona Coupe body shape. In the center is a modern dial available in silver-colored or Daytona blue replete with Arabic numerals, vertical chronograph ringed counters inspired by those of the dashboard highlighted with red touches, day and date displays at 3 o'clock, and a tachymeter scale placed into the flange. The hours and minutes hands shaped as the steering wheel feature Superluminova C1 blue emission, while the Cobra logo created by Peter Brock is forged onto the chronograph's second hand.
When you wish to control the Baume & Mercier Clifton Club Shelby Cobra 1964 edition, two inspired design touches come into play. Key functions are activated via exact replicas of the Daytona's foot pedals. The magic continues with the Daytona's bold alloy wheel design featured on the oscillating weight. The limited edition number (one out of 1964) is etched in tribute to the year of this iconic car's introduction.
For style and comfort, a black "automotive carbon-like" calfskin strap with red rubberized soft-touch calfskin lining is standard, offset by an adjustable triple-folding clasp with security push-pieces. Completing the tribute to legendary car and designer are subtle vertical racing stripes on the Clifton Club Shelby Cobra dial.
