SHELBY® Racer Chronograph

Experience the thrill of speed, right on your wrist. As part of a new collaboration for Bulova’s 150th Anniversary, the new limited-edition Bulova  Racing Chronograph combines  legendary muscle car customizer Carroll Shelby’s trailblazing racing style with Bulova’s innovative watchmaking technology. Shelby’s signature blue and white colorway is on full display, striping the rubber strap, accenting the dial, and elevating the 43mm silver-tone stainless steel case. Inspired by the massive power of the 1967 Shelby Ford Mustang GT500, the angular bullhead case offers a dramatic presence on the wrist, recalling the aerodynamic lines of that iconic car  and including a black tachymeter ring, sapphire crystal, 12 o’clock crown and pushers, and a grooved mid-case echoing the car’s racing stripes. With the Shelby Cobra logo nestled in the 3 o’clock register, the dial roars to life with 8-hand chronograph functionality including timing to an astonishing 1/1000 second, powered by Bulova’s proprietary high precision quartz Precisionist movement , resonating at a frequency of 262khz for unparalleled accuracy and allowing a sweeping chronograph hand. With an individually numbered  polished case back bearing Shelby’s signature and delivered in a limited-edition box with a 1:24 die-cast model of the GT500, the new Racing Chronograph brings the power of Shelby’s creations to your wrist for unparalleled style. Limited to 7,500  pieces worldwide.
