BAUME & MERCIER CAPELAND SHELBY COBRA

BAUME & MERCIER CAPELAND SHELBY COBRA - Reference: MOA10281

Swiss automatic watch in a limited edition of 1963, paying tribute to the legendary Shelby Cobra CSX2128, victorious in the 1960s. This timepiece perfectly embodies the fusion of the automotive world and traditional watchmaking expertise. It is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, visible through the transparent caseback engraved "One out of 1963". This caliber beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, features 25 jewels and offers a 48-hour power reserve. The customized rotor bears the number 15, a direct reference to the racing car.

The 44 mm case is in black ADLC-treated stainless steel, with a sandblasted finish that evokes the world of racing cars. It is mounted on a black rubber strap by Baume & Mercier, with a steel double safety folding clasp.

The black multi-layer dial houses three counters: at 3 o'clock, the 30-minute totalizer highlighted by the yellow "minutes" indication, at 6 o'clock, the 12-hour counter integrated with the date, and at 9 o'clock, the small seconds. The silvered counters are reminiscent of vintage car instruments, while the central second hand takes the shape of the Cobra steering wheel. The hour markers and hour and minute hands are treated with Super-LumiNova for excellent night-time legibility. A yellow tachymeter scale runs along the rehaut, reinforcing the racing DNA of this edition.

The watch is delivered full set: collector's box Baume & Mercier Shelby Cobra edition, official miniature of the car CSX2128 number 15, booklet, manual, stamped warranty card (May 2017), and complete maintenance documents following an official overhaul.
