When Carrol Shelby originally released the Shelby Cobra he would have loved this watch to accompany it. This piece is the epitome of the Shelby Cobra. The main dial is an amazing blue color with subdials that look like the gauges of the original Shelby and are shaped as "squircles" just like those vintage dashboard gauges. The calfskin strap completes the watch and makes it easy to wear with a deployment clasp. In the early 1960's, the LeMans winner Carrol Shelby imagined a car that matched a small, light British style chassis to a strong reliable American big-block engine. When it was introduced in 1962, the Cobra met with instant success, both among sportscar fans and on the racing circuit. It remains blisteringly fast and cherished by collectors to this day. The Top Time Shelby also comes with its own brag worthy engine, the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 movement. Once you put this watch on your wrist you won't want to take it off. Whether you have a Shelby Cobra or are just dreaming of the day when you can get one this watch will make you feel like you are wrapping your hands around that vintage steering wheel. Hang on!
