Experience the thrill of speed, right on your wrist. Part of a collaboration for Bulova's 150th Anniversary, this limited-edition Racing Chronograph combines legendary muscle-car customizer Carroll Shelby's trailblazing style with Bulova's innovative watchmaking. Shelby's signature blue-and-white colorway stripes the rubber strap, accents the dial, and elevates the 43 mm silver-tone stainless steel case. Inspired by the 1967 Shelby Ford Mustang GT500, the angular bullhead case offers dramatic presence — with a black tachymeter ring, sapphire crystal, 12 o'clock crown and pushers, and a grooved mid-case echoing the car's racing stripes. The Shelby Cobra logo sits in the 3 o'clock register, and the dial delivers 8-hand chronograph functionality timing to 1/1000 of a second, powered by Bulova's High-Performance Quartz Precisionist movement (262 kHz) with a sweeping chronograph hand. The individually numbered polished case back bears Shelby's signature, and the watch arrives in a limited-edition box with a 1:24 die-cast model of the GT500. Limited to 7,500 pieces worldwide.
