The limited edition Fossil Batman watch box set takes the Caped Crusader right back to his roots. This comic-book-inspired timepiece is tons of fun, and a great gift to the fans. From what we can see, there’s no eyeliner on Batman either. Sorry, Robert Pattinson.
It’s hard to continue without mentioning the interesting timing of this release. Just recently, the beloved Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy passed away — someone who many would call the true voice of the Caped Crusader. So, while unintentional, this Batman watch set is a nice homage to both Conroy and the animated series.
Fossil could have produced a simple base watch, but they took the time to design four unique straps and a detailed box for this release. It’s a great touch and a collector’s dream, but like any of our Fossil watches, this is a timepiece that’s excellent on the wrist.
Overview:
The Fossil Batman Watch
Like any good Batman watch should be, this design is set in an all-black case and bracelet. The classic Batman blue is used for the number indicators and through the hands, while strikes of yellow make an appearance too.
The main attraction is the Batman illustration in the centre of the dial. Bruce is shown with his cape spread, in his famous comic book and animated series style. This pose has been used in many Batman logos over the years, and is a welcome addition to this homage watch. This graphic, along with the alternative colour palette, makes this quite the unique watchface.
One of the main features of this watch is the interchangeable straps, which we’ll get into in a moment, but the standard bracelet is a very nice craft. Made from the same stainless steel as the case, this wide-link band style isn’t something you see much of. It's just another detail that makes this watch a special purchase.
Oh, and if you take this piece out at night, you’ll get a look at the super impressive set of luminous hands and indices.
Batman Watch Straps
If you include the standard steel bracelet, this watch has five interchangeable bands. Not only does this give you a love of versatility in comfort, but it also changes the style of the watch pretty drastically.
Each of the extra straps are made from fabric, the first of which comes in a signature yellow and Batman logo. This version, along with the light blue strap, is going to make the biggest aesthetic change to the watch of the four.
Two of the straps have gone for a comic panel look: one in black and grey and the other in colour and some signature blues. These are great choices for anyone wanting something less minimalist than the other band options.
Fossil Batman Watch Box Set
One of the great things about limited edition watches is that they often come in detailed and interesting boxes. As you’d expect from a design like this, the box has been detailed with an array of high-impact Batman comic panels.
You’ll find a comfortable place to keep your watch in this set, along with spots for the four interchangeable fabric straps. And, just to make things official, the reference number of the limited edition timepiece is positioned at the bottom left corner.
Finals Thoughts
The Fossil Batman watch collection pays homage to the timeless Batman comics and animated series (thanks, once again Kevin Conroy) and does it in style. Between the watch, set of straps, and box set, there’s a lot of detail here. I mean, If the Batman series is something you love, then why not show it off?
