The Fossil Autocross FS6124 is a contemporary sports chronograph that combines precision quartz timekeeping with motorsport-inspired design. Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case with an 11mm profile, this multifunction chronograph features a striking silver dial with contrasting black sub-dials and a tachymeter-engraved bezel for measuring speed over distance. The dial architecture references classic racing chronographs, with three sub-registers positioned at 12, 6, and 9 o'clock, providing chronograph minutes, seconds, and a 24-hour indicator. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer this timepiece as an authorised Fossil retailer, ensuring you receive genuine products backed by full manufacturer support.
Built for everyday versatility, the FS6124 features a robust stainless steel three-link bracelet with a secure push-button deployment clasp. The scratch-resistant mineral crystal protects the dial while maintaining excellent clarity, and the watch is rated to 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, making it suitable for splashes and brief immersion but not suitable for swimming or diving. The accurate quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance, requiring only periodic battery replacement by a qualified watchmaker. Those seeking a broader selection of timepieces from this American heritage brand can browse our full range of FOSSIL watches both online and in-store.
The Autocross collection pays homage to the adrenaline and precision of motorsport, translating racing aesthetics into wearable everyday chronographs. The tachymeter scale on the bezel allows wearers to calculate average speeds, a nod to the watch's racing DNA, while the stainless steel construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance. The 22mm lug width provides balanced proportions on the wrist, and the silver dial with applied indices offers excellent legibility in various lighting conditions. Whether you're timing your commute or simply appreciate automotive-inspired design, the FS6124 delivers functional style at an accessible price point.

FAQ
Q: What functions does the Fossil Autocross chronograph offer?
A: The FS6124 features a chronograph function with sub-dials displaying chronograph minutes, chronograph seconds, and a 24-hour indicator. The tachymeter bezel allows you to calculate average speeds over a measured distance, making it ideal for motorsport timing and general stopwatch use.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The Fossil Autocross has 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, which makes it suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend avoiding operating the chronograph pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require battery replacement?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage, particularly chronograph use which consumes more power. When the battery needs replacement, visit our Mall of the South boutique or contact our watch servicing team to ensure proper replacement and pressure testing to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can the stainless steel bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the three-link stainless steel bracelet can be sized by removing or adding links to achieve the perfect fit. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with purchase, and we can adjust the bracelet for you at our Mall of the South location or provide guidance for adjustments after delivery.
Q: What is the tachymeter scale used for on the bezel?
A: The tachymeter scale allows you to calculate average speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph at a distance marker, stop it at the next marker (typically 1 kilometre), and the chronograph seconds hand will point to your average speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale. This feature originated in motorsport timing.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Fossil warranty when purchased from Cassim & Co.?
A: Yes, as an authorised Fossil retailer, every Autocross FS6124 purchased from Cassim & Co. includes the full 2-year international Fossil manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is only valid when purchased from authorised retailers like ourselves.
Q: What is the case size and will it suit smaller wrists?
A: The 42mm case diameter is considered a mid-sized sports watch that suits most wrist sizes. With an 11mm thickness and 22mm lug width, the watch maintains balanced proportions without excessive overhang. We recommend trying the watch in person at our boutique to assess the fit on your wrist, as comfort is subjective and varies by individual preference.

- To obtain warranty service, present your original purchase receipt from Cassim & Co. along with the watch to an authorised Fossil service centre.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, perspiration, and oils that can accumulate during daily wear.
- Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with warm soapy water and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is pushed in and chronograph pushers are not operated during cleaning. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or underwater, as this can compromise water resistance seals.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you expose the watch to moisture regularly, as gasket seals degrade over time and require periodic replacement.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Remove your watch before engaging in high-impact sports, heavy manual labour, or activities involving strong chemicals or solvents that could damage the finish.
- When the watch stops or timekeeping becomes irregular, have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified watchmaker to prevent battery leakage which can damage the movement.
- Avoid exposing the mineral crystal to sharp impacts or abrasive surfaces, as mineral crystal can scratch more easily than sapphire crystal.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or damaged, visit our servicing centre immediately to prevent loss of the watch and ensure secure wear.
