The Fossil Autocross FS6126 is a bold reinterpretation of classic motorsport chronographs, designed for those who appreciate precision timing with contemporary flair. Its 42mm two-tone stainless steel case combines brushed silver steel with polished gold-tone accents, creating a striking contrast that catches the eye without overwhelming the wrist. The sunray gold dial features three black chronograph sub-dials and a fixed black tachymeter bezel calibrated to 400 units, offering both functional timing capability and unmistakable racing pedigree.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and the assurance of authenticity. The FS6126 is powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, delivering accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The mineral crystal provides scratch resistance for daily wear, while 5 ATM water resistance makes this watch suitable for handwashing and light splashes, though not for swimming or diving.
The two-tone bracelet mirrors the case design, alternating polished gold-tone centre links with brushed stainless steel outer links for a sophisticated sports-luxe aesthetic. The multifunction chronograph layout includes a date window at 3 o'clock, maintaining dial symmetry while adding practical everyday utility. Whether you're timing track laps or simply elevating your casual wardrobe, the Autocross strikes an ideal balance between tool-watch functionality and lifestyle versatility.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Autocross FS6126 suitable for swimming?
A: No, while the FS6126 has 5 ATM water resistance, this rating is suitable only for splashes, rain, and handwashing. It is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. For aquatic activities, a watch with at least 10 ATM rating is recommended.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph operates via pushers on the right side of the case. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets it to zero. The three sub-dials track elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours independently of the main timekeeping function.
Q: What is the tachymeter bezel used for?
A: The tachymeter scale on the bezel measures speed based on time travelled over a fixed distance. For example, start the chronograph at a kilometre marker and stop it at the next marker; the chronograph seconds hand will point to your average speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally adjusted by removing or adding links. Visit our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary sizing, or contact us if you've purchased online and require adjustment assistance.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2-3 years depending on usage and functions. When battery replacement is needed, we recommend having this done by our authorised service team to maintain water resistance integrity and warranty coverage.
Q: Is the gold colour on this watch real gold?
A: No, the gold-tone finish is achieved through PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating applied to stainless steel. This modern plating technique provides excellent durability and colour retention while keeping the watch accessible and lightweight.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, the Fossil Autocross FS6126 comes with a 2-year international Fossil warranty when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised retailer. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.

- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, dents, or worn straps and bracelets.

- Water damage resulting from misuse, improper operation of pushers or crown while wet, or exceeding the stated water resistance rating is excluded.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, unauthorised repairs, or modifications voids the warranty.
- To make a warranty claim, present your original proof of purchase and the watch to Cassim & Co. or an authorised Fossil service centre.

Care Guide
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products, as these can damage the PVD coating and seals.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as 5 ATM resistance is not suitable for immersion.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impacts that could affect the quartz movement accuracy.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when needed to ensure proper resealing and water resistance integrity.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it for extended periods.
- We recommend an annual inspection at our service centre to check seals, water resistance, and overall condition.
