Description
The Fossil Jacqueline ES5168 combines elegant femininity with technical precision, featuring a rare moonphase complication housed within a 36mm gold-tone stainless steel case. The white mother-of-pearl dial shimmers with Roman numeral hour markers, while a sub-dial at 6 o'clock displays the lunar cycle against a deep blue background—a romantic complication rarely seen at this price point. The bezel is adorned with delicate crystal embellishments, catching light with every movement of the wrist.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, this timepiece offers exceptional accuracy with minimal maintenance. The 8mm case profile ensures a slim, refined silhouette that sits comfortably under any cuff, while the scratch-resistant mineral crystal protects the intricate dial beneath. The green eco-leather strap provides a contemporary contrast to the warm gold-tone case, secured by a traditional single prong buckle. Water resistance to 3 ATM (30 metres) protects against splashes and brief immersion, making this an ideal companion for everyday elegance.

FAQ
Q: What is a moonphase complication and how does it work?
A: The moonphase complication displays the current phase of the lunar cycle via a rotating disc visible through an aperture at 6 o'clock on the dial. This decorative and functional feature tracks the 29.5-day lunar month, adding both romance and technical interest to the watch. In the Fossil Jacqueline ES5168, the moonphase disc features a blue background with a luminous moon that waxes and wanes as the month progresses.
Q: Is the mother-of-pearl dial genuine or synthetic?
A: The Fossil Jacqueline ES5168 features a genuine white mother-of-pearl dial, which means no two watches are exactly alike. Mother-of-pearl is a natural material harvested from oyster shells, displaying unique iridescent properties that shimmer in changing light conditions. This organic material adds luxury and individuality to each timepiece.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 3 ATM (30 metres) water resistance, the ES5168 is designed to withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. The leather strap can also be damaged by prolonged water exposure, so we recommend removing the watch before any water activities.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last 2-3 years depending on usage and complications. The moonphase function does draw slightly more power than a simple time-only watch. When replacement is needed, visit our Johannesburg showrooms where our team can install a fresh battery and pressure-test the watch to maintain its water resistance integrity.
Q: What is the lug width if I want to change the strap?
A: While Fossil does not publish the exact lug width for the ES5168, standard 36mm ladies' watches typically use 16mm or 18mm straps. We recommend visiting our boutique to measure precisely and explore our selection of replacement straps, ensuring proper fit and compatibility with your watch case.
Q: Are the crystals on the bezel diamonds?
A: The bezel embellishments on the Fossil Jacqueline ES5168 are crystal stones, not diamonds. These high-quality crystals provide sparkle and elegance at an accessible price point, complementing the gold-tone case and mother-of-pearl dial beautifully. They are securely set to withstand daily wear.
Q: Does this watch come with its original Fossil packaging?
A: Yes, the Fossil Jacqueline ES5168 comes complete with original Fossil presentation packaging, warranty booklet, and instruction manual. This makes it an ideal gift option, arriving ready to present in branded packaging that reflects the quality of the timepiece within.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions, case defects, crystal defects, and strap/bracelet manufacturing issues that arise under normal use.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal or strap, accidental damage, damage from misuse or neglect, water damage resulting from improper use beyond the rated water resistance, or damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Warranty Validation: The warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer. Proof of purchase (original receipt or invoice) must be presented for any warranty claims. Watches purchased from unauthorised dealers or grey market sellers are not covered.
- Claim Process: Should you experience any issues covered under warranty, contact Cassims & Co. at our Mall of the South location. We will assess the watch and liaise directly with Fossil on your behalf to facilitate repair or replacement under warranty terms.
- After-Warranty Support: Even after the warranty period expires, Cassims & Co. continues to provide comprehensive after-sales support, including battery replacements, strap changes, sizing adjustments, and access to authorised Fossil service centres for repairs and maintenance.
Care guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove skin oils, cosmetics, and environmental residue that can accumulate over time.
- Leather Strap Maintenance: Eco-leather straps require special care to maintain their appearance and longevity. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, lotions, and direct sunlight, all of which can cause discolouration and deterioration. Allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes damp.
- Water Resistance: Although rated to 3 ATM, water resistance can degrade over time. Avoid operating the crown when the watch is wet, and never expose the watch to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes which can compromise seals.
- Storage: When not wearing your Jacqueline, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields. Keep it in its original box or a watch case to protect against scratches and dust accumulation.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in intervals, the battery requires replacement. Visit an authorised service centre to ensure proper battery installation and resealing to maintain water resistance specifications.
- Moonphase Adjustment: If your moonphase display becomes misaligned, do not attempt to adjust it yourself. Bring the watch to our servicing team who have the proper tools and expertise to reset the complication without damaging the delicate mechanism.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your quartz watch inspected every 2-3 years during battery replacement. This allows our technicians to check seals, clean internal components, and ensure optimal performance throughout the watch's lifetime.
