This Baume & Mercier Clifton Shelby Cobra is a chef-d'oeuvre inspired by one of the most amazing sports cars ever – the Shelby Daytona Coupe. At a time when most brands were leveraging the automotive aesthetics and collaborations to create chronographs, Baume & Mercier went the extra mile. The Maison joined forces with one of the greatest automotive designers – Peter Brock - the mastermind behind the iconic car to not just seek inspiration but to have him actually design the watch.

The Shelby Cobra Daytona collection carried three major watch designs, and this Ref. MOA10342 is one of them. This watch shares an uncanny resemblance with the car, which is enough for car enthusiasts to swoon. From the instantly recognisable colour palette to the Cobra motif on the red seconds hand and from the pushers that take after the foot pedals of the car to the lume-filled hands that echo Daytona’s steering wheel and also the subdials that resemble the car’s dashboard, the Ref. MOA10342 is a Shelby Daytona Coupe expressed in the form of a timepiece.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
