The Fossil Neutra Chronograph FS6168 redefines contemporary minimalism with a monochromatic navy aesthetic that balances urban sophistication and everyday versatility. This round 44mm quartz chronograph features a striking blue dial accented with crisp white baton indices and Roman numeral highlights at twelve and six o'clock, creating a clean, modern face that reads effortlessly in any light. The navy-toned stainless steel case, matched to a supple navy leather strap, delivers a cohesive colour story rarely seen in men's chronographs—ideal for those who appreciate tonal refinement over high-contrast design.
Powered by a reliable Japanese quartz chronograph movement, the FS6168 provides split-time functionality through three sub-dials tracking elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours, alongside a date window at four o'clock. The 22mm leather strap secures with a single-prong buckle and offers substantial wrist presence without weight, making this 44mm timepiece comfortable for all-day wear. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres), the Neutra handles everyday splashes and brief submersion, though it is not rated for swimming or water sports.
At Cassim & Co., we stock the full range of Fossil watches as an authorised retailer, ensuring every piece comes with genuine Fossil warranty coverage and after-sales support. Whether you're drawn to the Neutra's tonal navy execution or its practical chronograph complication, this watch represents accessible American design at its most polished. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience the FS6168 in person, or take advantage of our nationwide delivery service across South Africa.

The Neutra Chronograph suits the modern professional who values understated style over overt branding—a watch that pairs as naturally with tailored navy suiting as it does with weekend denim. Fossil's commitment to accessible quality shines through in the mineral crystal, the smooth chronograph pushers, and the thoughtful dial layout that prioritises legibility. This is a timepiece for those who understand that true style often whispers rather than shouts.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Neutra FS6168 suitable for swimming?
A: The FS6168 is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), which protects against everyday splashes, rain, and brief accidental submersion. However, it is not rated for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any prolonged water exposure to preserve the seals and movement.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph is operated via the pushers flanking the crown. The top pusher starts and stops the elapsed-time measurement, whilst the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials display elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours, allowing you to time events with precision.
Q: What type of battery does the FS6168 use, and how long does it last?
A: The Neutra Chronograph uses a standard quartz battery, typically lasting two to three years under normal use. Frequent chronograph operation may reduce battery life slightly. Cassim & Co. offers battery replacement services at our Mall of the South boutique—contact our team for pricing and turnaround details.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap with a different style?
A: Yes. The FS6168 features a standard 22mm lug width, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket straps—leather, NATO, rubber, or mesh. Our in-store team can assist with strap sourcing and installation, or you can replace it yourself using a spring bar tool.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Absolutely. When purchased from Cassim & Co., an authorised Fossil retailer, the FS6168 includes a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
Q: Is the navy colour of the case a coating or plating?
A: The navy tone is achieved through a specialised finish applied to the stainless steel case. Whilst durable under normal conditions, coatings can experience wear over time with heavy use or abrasion. We recommend avoiding contact with hard surfaces and chemicals to maintain the finish.
Q: What is the lug-to-lug measurement of the FS6168?
A: Fossil does not publish an official lug-to-lug measurement for the Neutra Chronograph. Based on the 44mm case diameter and visible proportions, the lug-to-lug is estimated at approximately 50-52mm, making it suitable for wrists of 17cm and above. We recommend trying the watch in person at our boutique for the best fit assessment.
Warranty
- The Fossil Neutra Chronograph FS6168 is covered by a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches to the case or crystal, damage to the strap, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water-resistance limits, or damage caused by accidents, improper handling, or unauthorised repairs.
- To make a warranty claim, you must present the original proof of purchase along with the watch. Warranty service is provided through authorised Fossil service centres.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and perspiration.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields, all of which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Keep the leather strap dry whenever possible. If the strap becomes wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow it to air-dry naturally—never use direct heat or a hairdryer.
- Condition the leather strap periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch will protect the case and strap from scratches.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and water-resistance integrity. Cassim & Co. offers battery replacement services at our Johannesburg boutique.
- If the watch requires servicing or develops timekeeping issues, consult our authorised service centre rather than attempting home repairs.
