Fossil LE1246SET Hulk Automatic Watch - Limited Edition - W10511
Ref. LE1246SET
Sits in Fossil’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Fossil watches we list, which start at £99.
Price range £99 to £399 across 38 Fossil watches in stock.The Marvel x Fossil collaboration has produced a number of character watches over the years, but this one earns its limited-edition status by committing to its subject rather than simply printing a logo on a dial. The Hulk appears mid-smash through a skeletonised opening, and the effect works because the Japanese automatic movement underneath is genuinely visible — the destruction reveals something real. Purple accents reference the character's comic-book trousers, a detail that will matter to anyone who grew up with those panels, and the engraved edition number on the case makes the collectible intent explicit. At 45mm with a unidirectional rotating bezel, this is a large watch worn green from case to strap, and there is no ambiguity about what it is. The nylon-and-silicone hybrid construction is more considered than a plain canvas band — the silicone backing sits against the wrist while the nylon carries the look — and the exhibition caseback means the movement is on display from both sides. It comes boxed with a Hulk-versus-Spider-Man lapel pin, which confirms this is sold as a collectible object as much as a watch.

Learn more about Fossil
Tom Kartsotis founded Fossil in Texas in 1984 after noticing that fashion watches manufactured in Hong Kong could be produced far more cheaply than the market assumed. The name came from his brother's nickname.
The company's insight was presentation. Fossil watches were designed with a deliberately retro American aesthetic and sold in collectable tin boxes, which made an inexpensive quartz watch feel like an object worth keeping. It worked at scale, and Fossil became one of the largest watch companies in the world by unit volume.
The business then grew primarily by acquisition and licensing. Fossil owns Zodiac, Misfit, and the leather goods brand Skagen, and manufactures watches under licence for a long list of fashion houses — Michael Kors, Armani Exchange, Diesel, Kate Spade, and others. For much of the 2010s Fossil produced a substantial share of all branded fashion watches sold globally.
It was also an early and significant player in smartwatches, launching Android Wear devices from 2015 and becoming the largest maker of Google-powered watches, before that market consolidated around Apple, Samsung, and Google itself.
Fossil remains a public company headquartered in Richardson, Texas, and continues to produce its own mechanical and automatic lines alongside the quartz and connected ranges.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
What size strap does it take?
24mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
