Heritage story
Why this car and watchmaking share a history
The Ford Mustang GT debuted on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair, selling 22,000 units on its first day. Carroll Shelby's collaboration brought the GT350 and GT500 variants that cemented the Mustang's racing legend. Bulova has long supplied instruments to Ford, making their precision chronographs a natural match for the muscle car that defined a generation.
