The Fossil Jacqueline ES4274 is a masterclass in understated elegance, combining classic design codes with contemporary materials. This 36mm quartz timepiece features a striking blue guilloché dial adorned with rose gold-toned Roman numerals at XII and VI, complemented by rose gold stick indices and hands. The dial's intricate circular texture catches light beautifully, creating subtle depth and visual interest. A discreet date window at 6 o'clock adds practical functionality without compromising the watch's refined aesthetic.
Housed in a two-tone case that merges brushed stainless steel with polished rose gold-tone plating, the Jacqueline ES4274 offers a sophisticated contrast that elevates any ensemble. The case measures a versatile 36mm in diameter with a slim 7mm profile, making it equally at home in boardroom or evening settings. The genuine luggage-brown leather strap, measuring 14mm in width with contrast stitching, provides warmth and texture, secured by a traditional pin buckle closure. Water-resistant to 3 ATM (30 metres), this watch is protected against splashes and rain.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, the Fossil Jacqueline ES4274 is designed as a versatile daily timepiece. Its 36mm case size suits most wrist sizes, the quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping, and the genuine leather strap provides comfortable all-day wear. However, with 3 ATM water resistance, it should be removed before swimming or showering.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz watch?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit Cassim & Co. at Mall of the South where our team can professionally replace the SR621SW battery, pressure-test the case seal, and ensure water resistance is maintained.
Q: Can I wear this watch while washing my hands or in light rain?
A: Yes, the 3 ATM (30-metre) water resistance protects against splashes, rain, and handwashing. However, avoid submerging the watch, pressing buttons or operating the crown while wet, and remove it before showering, bathing, or swimming to preserve the leather strap and maintain water resistance.
Q: What wrist size does this watch fit?
A: The luggage leather strap has an inner circumference of approximately 175mm (± 5mm), which typically accommodates wrists from 145mm to 175mm comfortably. If adjustment is needed, our team at Mall of the South can assist with strap resizing or recommend alternative strap options to ensure a perfect fit.
Q: Is the rose gold-tone plating durable?
A: The rose gold-tone plating on the bezel is applied through modern PVD or electroplating processes designed for everyday wear. To preserve its lustre, avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and abrasive surfaces. Wipe the case gently with a soft cloth after wear to remove oils and moisture.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Fossil warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer, this watch includes a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be completed at time of purchase and should be retained with your receipt.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced if it wears out?
A: Absolutely. The 14mm standard strap width allows for replacement with genuine Fossil straps or compatible aftermarket leather and NATO options. Our watch servicing team can source and fit replacement straps, or you may choose to upgrade to a different colour or material to personalise your timepiece.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Fossil watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions, case defects, and crystal defects that arise under normal use conditions.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, leather strap deterioration, scratches or cosmetic damage, accidental damage, damage from misuse or neglect, water damage resulting from failure to observe water resistance limitations, or damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets or accidental impact. Water resistance is not covered under warranty and should be checked periodically, especially before exposure to moisture.
- Service Requirements: To maintain warranty validity, any servicing or repairs must be performed by authorised Fossil service centres or authorised retailers such as Cassim & Co. Unauthorised repairs void the warranty.
- Proof of Purchase: The warranty is valid only when accompanied by the original dated sales receipt or warranty card from an authorised retailer. Please retain these documents in a safe place.
- Claims Process: Should you experience any issues covered under warranty, contact Cassim & Co. at Mall of the South. We will assess the watch and facilitate the warranty claim process with Fossil on your behalf.
- After-Sales Support: Beyond warranty coverage, Cassim & Co. offers ongoing support including battery replacements, strap adjustments, professional cleaning, and access to genuine Fossil parts and accessories.
Care Guide
- Daily Care: Remove your watch before showering, bathing, swimming, or any water sports. The 3 ATM rating protects against splashes only, not submersion.
- Leather Strap Maintenance: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perspiration, perfumes, and cosmetics which can stain or deteriorate the leather. Allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes damp, away from direct heat sources.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove skin oils and moisture. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth for spot cleaning only, then allow to air dry completely.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the leather and dial. Consider using the original box or a watch case to protect against dust and scratches.
- Chemical Avoidance: Apply perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions before putting on your watch. These substances can damage both the leather strap and the case plating over time.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand begins jumping in intervals, have the battery replaced promptly by a professional. Old batteries can leak and cause internal damage.
- Professional Servicing: Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years to check the case seal, crown function, and overall condition. This preventative care extends the life of your timepiece.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the quartz movement's accuracy and potentially damage internal components.
- Magnetic Fields: While quartz movements are less susceptible than mechanical movements, prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps should still be avoided.
