Baume & Mercier Clifton Club Shelby Cobra Watch M0A10343

The Baume & Mercier Clifton Club Shelby Cobra (Ref. M0A10343) celebrates the legendary 1964 Daytona Coupe’s FIA World Sportscar Championship victory through authentic collaboration with Shelby rather than superficial motorsport branding. Limited to 1,964 pieces commemorating that championship year, the Daytona blue dial precisely matches the iconic race car livery whilst Peter Brock’s fiery cobra emblem on the red chronograph hand creates direct connection to the original design.

At 44mm with 14.9mm thickness, this provides substantial motorsport presence whilst housing the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret Caliber 8120 with 48-hour power reserve. The Daytona blue dial with sun satin finish evokes racing intensity whilst the tachymeter scale and comprehensive chronograph layout serve genuine timing applications appropriate for motorsport heritage.

The La Joux-Perret movement delivers reliable chronograph functionality through proven engineering with 30-minute and 12-hour counters, day/date complications, and Swiss manufacture quality that ensures long-term serviceability. The 25-jewel construction operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour provides smooth operation suitable for professional timing.

The collaboration honours Carroll Shelby’s greatest achievement when his American team defeated Ferrari’s European racing dominance through innovative aerodynamics and determination. The Daytona Coupe’s success represented motorsport history where only six original examples were constructed.

This Clifton Club Shelby Cobra suits buyers who want authentic American racing heritage combined with Swiss watchmaking excellence. The genuine collaboration celebrates one of motorsport’s greatest underdog victories whilst the limited production and ceased availability enhance collectability for enthusiasts of both Shelby heritage and Swiss manufacture timepieces.
