Swiss timepiece maker Breitling has released a special chronograph series that celebrates three North American automotive marques from the 1960s: the Chevrolet Corvette; the Ford Mustang; and the Shelby Cobra. The three watches display each car’s logo and, as a stopwatch/chronograph, there’s a 15-minute counter, six-hour counter and a dial for seconds elapsed. The Corvette- and Mustang-themed faces are 42 millimetres in diameter, while the Cobra watch is slightly smaller at 40 millimetres. A racing-themed calfskin leather strap is included. Purchase for $5,500 each from www.breitling.com.
