Linfox founder Lindsay Fox has put one of his rare wristwatches up for auction with all proceeds going to Australian mental health and wellbeing support organisation, Beyond Blue.
Known as the Fox Legacy Watch, this one-of-three timepiece has been created to celebrate Lindsay Fox’s outstanding achievements and generosity.
This unique wristwatch has been designed and hand-made in Australia by Dom Italiano of Grip Auto timepieces.
The watch face features a Damascus steel ring made from part of the engine fitted to Fox’s first delivery truck, a 1957 Ford F500, the vehicle that started the famous Linfox transport and logistics empire.
The watch is fitted with a Sellita Sw300 automatic, elaborate-grade movement encased in titanium and sapphire crystal. The back cover features the famous Linfox phrase: ‘You are passing another Fox’.

“The Fox Legacy Watch is more than a unique timepiece,” said Lee Hallett, Head of Asia-Pacific for the Collecting Group, which runs watchcollecting.com. “It represents resilience, generosity, and Australia as a land of great opportunities.”
The Fox Legacy Watch is presented with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Fox family. It will also include an autographed framed photo of Formula One driver Lando Norris and the winning bidder will also receive a custom hand-drawn artwork of their favourite timepiece by artist Jeesoo Kim.
The watch will also be on display at the popular annual event Wristwatch Check, which will be held at the Fox Classic Car Museum in Melbourne on March 15.
