Bulova Shelby® Racer Chronograph 96K118 – Limited Edition
Product Description
Celebrate one of the most iconic names in American motorsport with the Bulova Shelby® Racer Chronograph 96K118 Limited Edition. Inspired by the legendary Shelby Daytona Coupé 50th Anniversary Aluminum Edition, this exceptional timepiece captures the spirit, performance, and engineering excellence that made the original race car a motorsport icon. The result is a sophisticated chronograph that seamlessly blends automotive heritage with modern watchmaking technology.
Powered by Bulova’s exclusive High Precision Quartz (HPQ) movement, the 96K118 operates at an impressive 262 kHz frequency, delivering significantly greater accuracy than conventional quartz movements. The advanced six-hand chronograph display features three sub-dials that measure elapsed time with remarkable precision, making it a true performance instrument for watch enthusiasts and racing fans alike.
The watch features a 40.5mm stainless steel case paired with a matching stainless steel bracelet that delivers both durability and refined style. A double-push deployant clasp ensures a secure and comfortable fit, while the included interchangeable brown leather strap with contrasting white stitching provides a sportier, vintage-inspired appearance reminiscent of classic racing interiors.
Its striking silver mirror-finish dial is enhanced with black luminous hands and hour markers, ensuring excellent legibility in all lighting conditions. The integrated tachymeter scale further reinforces the racing heritage of the watch, allowing wearers to measure speed over a fixed distance.
Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, the Shelby Racer Chronograph offers exceptional clarity while reducing glare for easier viewing. With 100 metres of water resistance, it is suitable for everyday wear, swimming, and recreational water activities.
Adding to its exclusivity, this model is presented in a special commemorative presentation box and is part of a numbered limited edition of only 9999 pieces, making it a highly collectible addition to any watch collection.
Whether you’re a dedicated automotive enthusiast, a collector of limited-edition timepieces, or simply appreciate precision engineering, the Bulova Shelby® Racer Chronograph 96K118 delivers timeless style inspired by one of America’s greatest racing legends.
