Description
The Fossil FB-01 ES5293 is a contemporary dive-inspired timepiece that combines robust functionality with refined aesthetics. Housed in a 36mm rose gold-toned stainless steel case, this quartz watch features a striking grey dial adorned with mixed indices—a combination of applied crystal markers and baguette-style hour markers that create visual depth and legibility. The unidirectional rotating bezel, engraved with dive timing markers, reinforces the watch's sporting credentials while complementing the warm rose gold case finish.
Water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM), the FB-01 is engineered to withstand swimming and recreational aquatic activities. The bold date window at 3 o'clock ensures practical everyday functionality, while the luminous hands provide enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. The grey silicone strap offers comfortable wear and durability, making this timepiece equally suited to active pursuits and casual wear. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Fossil retailer, ensuring every watch we supply is genuine and fully supported.
The FB-01 collection represents Fossil's commitment to accessible luxury and modern design. This 36mm case size strikes an ideal balance—substantial enough to make a statement, yet proportioned for versatile wear across different wrist sizes. The quartz movement delivers reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance requirements, while the mineral crystal protects the dial from everyday wear. Whether you're exploring our full range of FOSSIL watches or seeking a distinctive everyday timepiece, the ES5293 offers compelling value and unmistakable style.
Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience the FB-01 in person, where our team can assist with sizing and answer any questions. We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa, and our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to support your timepiece throughout its life.

FAQ
Q: What is the water resistance rating of the Fossil FB-01 ES5293?
A: This watch is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming and snorkelling. It is not suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in and secured before water exposure.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The FB-01 ES5293 is powered by a reliable quartz movement, which offers excellent accuracy and requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement every 2-3 years.
Q: Is the 36mm case size suitable for both men and women?
A: Yes, the 36mm case diameter is considered a versatile unisex size. It offers a substantial presence without being overly large, making it suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes and style preferences.
Q: What is the function of the rotating bezel?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel is a dive watch feature used to track elapsed time. Rotate the bezel so the zero marker aligns with the minute hand, then read elapsed minutes as the hand moves around the dial. The unidirectional design prevents accidental extension of dive time.
Q: Can I replace the battery at Cassims & Co.?
A: Yes, as an authorised Fossil retailer, we offer battery replacement services at our Mall of the South location. Our qualified technicians will replace your battery and reseal the case to maintain water resistance.
Q: Is the rose gold finish prone to fading or wear?
A: The rose gold finish is applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) or similar coating techniques, which provide good durability. However, like all coated finishes, it may show wear over time with heavy use. Proper care will help maintain its appearance.
Q: Does this watch come with the manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co., this watch includes a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.
Warranty
- This watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, crystal damage, or strap wear.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty and is considered a routine maintenance service.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, improper crown operation, or failure to maintain water resistance seals is not covered.
- Damage resulting from accidents, impacts, improper handling, or unauthorised repairs voids the warranty.
- To make a warranty claim, present your original proof of purchase and the watch to Cassims & Co. or an authorised Fossil service centre.
- Fossil reserves the right to repair or replace the watch at their discretion under warranty terms.
Care guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated water to prevent corrosion and residue build-up.
- Dry the case and strap thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth after water exposure.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or strong magnetic fields.
- Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully and secured before any water exposure to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Clean the silicone strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove oils, dirt, and perspiration.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or displays weak timekeeping—typically every 2-3 years.
- If the watch will not be worn for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as this may damage the movement or crystal.
- Do not operate the crown or bezel while underwater, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the watch's water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose it to water, as seals may degrade over time.
