Bulova 98B452 Chronograph Blue Dial Rubber Strap Watch

A Celebration of 150 Years

Bulova marks its 150th anniversary with the Shelby Chronograph 98B452, a limited-edition tribute to one of America’s most celebrated performance icons: Carroll Shelby’s Cobra. Only 3,000 pieces were produced, underscoring its significance within Bulova’s commemorative lineup.

Automotive DNA in Every Detail

The watch channels Shelby’s racing pedigree with a 46mm stainless steel case paired to a blue HNBR rubber strap embossed with tire-tread texture. The dial is a vivid racing blue, punctuated with bold sub-dials that echo dashboard gauges, while the tachymeter scale reinforces its motorsport purpose.

Precision Under the Hood

Powering the chronograph is a high-performance quartz movement, chosen for accuracy and durability, with stopwatch functionality that speaks directly to the racing world it honors. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters, ensuring it’s as practical as it is commemorative.

Finishing Touches

The caseback bears the official Shelby logo alongside its limited-edition number, giving each piece an individual stamp of authenticity. At 46mm, it commands presence on the wrist while balancing comfort with the pliable, textured strap.

Why It Matters

Bulova’s Shelby 98B452 is not just a watch it’s a wearable nod to the golden age of American motorsport. Limited availability means once these are gone, they’re gone.
