Description
The Fossil Neutra Chronograph ES5279 is a sophisticated timepiece that seamlessly blends contemporary design with functional elegance. This women's watch features a lustrous mother-of-pearl dial set within a 36mm round stainless steel case, complemented by a striking two-tone bracelet that combines polished stainless steel with warm rose gold-tone links. The bezel is adorned with sparkling crystals that frame the dial beautifully, while three chronograph sub-dials provide practical timekeeping functions alongside the elegant rose gold-tone hands and mixed Roman numeral and stick indices.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Neutra ES5279 suitable for swimming?
A: This watch is water-resistant to 50 metres (5 ATM), which makes it suitable for shallow water swimming, showering, and everyday water exposure such as handwashing. However, it should not be used for diving, high-impact water sports, or prolonged submersion. The chronograph pushers should never be operated underwater.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph complication allows you to measure elapsed time using the three sub-dials visible on the mother-of-pearl dial. The chronograph is operated via the pushers on the right side of the case—the top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets it to zero. This function is independent of the timekeeping function.
Q: What type of battery does this Fossil watch use and how long will it last?
A: This watch is powered by a standard quartz battery. Battery life typically ranges from 2 to 3 years depending on usage, particularly chronograph function usage. When the battery requires replacement, bring the watch to our Johannesburg showrooms where our watch technicians can replace it with a genuine battery and test the water resistance seal.
Q: Can the two-tone bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, absolutely. The stainless steel and rose gold-tone bracelet can be professionally sized to fit your wrist comfortably. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing on all watch purchases at Cassims & Co. Our technicians use proper tools to remove or add links without damaging the bracelet finish.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes, the Fossil Neutra ES5279 comes with a 2-year international Fossil warranty when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, or damage resulting from accidents or misuse.
Q: What is the mother-of-pearl dial and how should I care for it?
A: Mother-of-pearl is a natural iridescent material derived from the inner shell layer of molluscs. It creates a unique lustre that shifts in different lighting conditions, making each dial subtly unique. To preserve its beauty, avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and extreme temperatures. Clean the crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Q: Does Cassims & Co. offer nationwide delivery for this watch?
A: Yes, we offer secure nationwide delivery across South Africa. Your Fossil Neutra will be carefully packaged in its original presentation box with all documentation and dispatched via our trusted courier partners. Alternatively, you can collect your purchase in person from our Johannesburg showrooms in Johannesburg.

Care guide
- Wipe the case, crystal, and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture.
- Avoid exposing the watch to perfumes, cosmetics, solvents, and cleaning chemicals that may damage the finish or seals.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- After contact with saltwater or chlorinated water, rinse the watch gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields when not in use.
- Have the water resistance tested annually, especially if you frequently expose the watch to water.
- Replace the battery promptly when the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in intervals, as a depleted battery may leak and damage the movement.
- Avoid impacts, shocks, and dropping the watch, as the mineral crystal and quartz movement can be damaged by sudden force.
- For professional cleaning, battery replacement, and bracelet adjustments, visit our authorised service centre at Cassims & Co., Mall of the South.
