The Batman x Fossil: an illustrious watch

Posted 22 February 2022 by James Reading time approximately 3 minutes

On March 3rd, the new film entitled The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, will be released, and that calls for a cool collaboration. Not everyone is a big fan of the wealthy, philanthropic superhero like me, but we've all know him one way or another. Fossil and Warner Bros have joined forces to design a limited edition Batman watch. Continue reading to find out why this watch deserves a home in your collection.

A well thought out design

The design of the The Batman x Fossil is, in essence, a reflection of the new film, and that is something you immediately notice. Everything about the design has a function and a purpose; nothing is redundant. The minimalist look fits the caped crusader perfectly, for he is a man of few words, but many deeds. The result is a statement piece of a watch. You'd almost think Lucius Fox - Bruce Wayne's gadget man - has started working in Fossil's design department.

An homage to the fans

This watch also comes in a special packaging with a drawer for an extra watch strap. This way, you can display the watch on your dresser or bedside table, to name a few places. Fossil have stayed true to Batman's fans and this is reflected, among other things, in the mini compass on the watch strap. An ingenious detail that also comes in very handy when you're in need of directions to the cinema. 

We may not wear a utility belt like Batman, but with this watch we are at least one step closer to Batman's dexterity. This way everyone can feel like a superhero. And, this watch being an automatic, powered by a quality NH35 Seiko movement, you'll never run out of energy!

Continuation of an iconic character

Over the years, there have been many Batman films with different actors portraying the obscure character. Not everyone likes the same trilogies. For instance, some of us have fond memories of the time when Val Kilmer jumped into the batsuit, while for others Christian Bale is the one and only Batman in the role of The Dark Knight. The same can be said about the villains, such as Jack Nicholson who gave Joker an extra terrifying edge or Heath Ledger who, as Joker, compulsively licked his lips.

At first glance, the latest Batman film looks like a dark detective full of action and intrigue. And it is precisely this atmosphere that Fossil have incorporated into the The Batman x Fossil watch. The design exudes mystery, and the red finish on the hand, crown and strap complement the whole perfectly.
