The Bulova SHELBY® Racer Chronograph is a limited-edition, high-energy tribute to Carroll Shelby’s legendary racing legacy—built with Bulova’s modern performance tech and a design language pulled straight from American muscle. Between the signature blue-and-white colorway, the bold bullhead case profile, and racing-forward dial details (including the Shelby Cobra logo), this is a watch that wears like a piece of motorsport history—loud, purposeful, and unapologetically fun.
The watch is housed in a 43mm stainless-steel case with an aluminum bezel and a dramatic bullhead layout featuring the crown and pushers at 12 o’clock. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while the WR50 / 5 bar / 166ft rating keeps it suited for everyday wear and still-water swimming. Finished on a blue-and-white striped HNBR rubber strap with a folding buckle and push buttons, it’s built to feel sporty, secure, and ready for action.
Inside is Bulova’s NN10 HPQ Precisionist movement—high-performance quartz technology that resonates at 262 kHz for exceptional accuracy and enables a smooth sweeping chronograph hand. The watch features 8-hand chronograph functionality with timing down to 1/1000 of a second, along with a calendar complication, delivering real capability behind the motorsport styling. Limited to 7,500 pieces worldwide and backed by Bulova’s 3-year limited warranty, the 98B452 is both collectible and genuinely performance-driven.
