Shelby Fossil : A Collector’s Tribute with Daily Driveability

July 8th 2025

Tribute in Titanium-Look Steel
The latest collaboration from Fossil, the Shelby Grand Tourer, wears its Shelby-American credentials proudly. Engineered with a 44–45 mm brushed steel case, sapphire crystal, and a fixed tachymeter bezel, it channels automotive precision with an everyday-ready build.

Dial Design: Fast & Functional
Dominated by Shelby’s signature blue-and-white “Wimbledon White” stripes, the dial unites sport and structure. A trio of subdials tracks elapsed time, while white hands, bold numerals, and Cobra branding evoke a strong racing aesthetic. Though the overlapping white elements slightly affect legibility, it still conveys a compelling motorsport narrative.

Tailored to Your Pace
Comes with both steel bracelet and perforated blue leather rally strap, bridging formal and sporty. The quick-change system makes it easy to customize. Bracelet durability and leather’s retro racing vibe—complete with half‑link adjustability—enhance wearability.

Reliable Ruler of Time
Inside the case lies a Miyota OS11 quartz movement: accurate, low‑maintenance, with a robust 5‑year battery life. While the chronograph buttons feel on the softer side, they still deliver functional timing precision for daily use or weekend track sessions.

Limited Edition Appeal
With only 1,098 pieces available and a price under $500, the Grand Tourer is a collectible statement. It acknowledges Shelby’s celebrated road and racing past without overreaching. For enthusiasts after style over Swiss‑grade mechanics, it’s a compelling choice.
