With its signature touches, this series of limited edition chronographs, elaborated in collaboration with designer Peter Brock, celebrates life’s special achievements.

The Clifton Club Shelby® Cobra collection welcomes two limited edition chronographs, 1964-piece each. Both versions feature an automatic Swiss-made movement (Valjoux 7750). All elements of the design are inspired by the original Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, and created in collaboration with Daytona designer Peter Brock.

The 44 mm diameter case made of 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.

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 is etched in tribute to the year of this iconic car’s introduction.

A comfortable and elegant 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.

The Clifton Club Shelby® Cobra 1964 arrive to its owner in elegant black and silver packaging, and includes an exclusive 1:43 scale model prized by collectors of the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. A custom brochure that presents the history of the Daytona Coupe is also provided.
