Experience the luxury, pizzaz, and strength of the iconic Shelby Daytona Coupe on your wrist through this charismatic Baume & Mercier.
Why we love it
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.
The genius of this watch extends to its display case back, equipped with an oscillating rotor that looks like the moving wheels of a Daytona. Inside the case, an automatic movement – calibre 8120 based on ETA 7750 beats at a frequency of 28800 VPH and provides a 42-hour power reserve.
This reference MOA10342 is a robust timepiece in a very good, pre-owned condition featuring minor scratches on the bezel and the case back. The black leather strap comes embossed with a carbon fibre pattern and have a red lining.
Provenance
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.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
