India – June 5, 2025 – Blending speed with style, Fossil is excited to introduce its newest collaboration: an officially licensed, limited-edition timepiece inspired by the iconic performance cars of Shelby American. Fossil captures the spirit of Shelby’s classic automobiles in a striking new watch, designed for both car lovers and watch collectors alike. Founded by the legendary Carroll Shelby, Shelby American is globally renowned for manufacturing high-performance vehicles, including authentic Cobras, from its headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The collaboration consists of the Grand Tourer Watch, Fossil’s most elevated chronograph to date that pays tribute to Shelby’s automotive legacy. Crafted in silver-tone stainless steel, the watch features a Japanese chronograph movement with subdials for minutes and seconds. The dial features Shelby’s distinctive striped finish in their signature shades of Guardsman Blue and Wimbledon White, accented by the Shelby logo—a coiled cobra ready to strike. Finishing touches include the Shelby logo and cobra detail engraved on the caseback with limited-edition numbering, making this timepiece collectible and functional.
The custom packaging is inspired by a car mechanic’s metal toolbox and finished in Shelby’s iconic racing stripes. Inside, collectors will find a certificate of authenticity, as well as an interchangeable leather strap inspired by the perforated driving gloves worn in the 1960s.
