The Fossil Neutra Chronograph FS5380 is a contemporary expression of minimalist design, combining clean lines with functional sophistication. The 44mm stainless steel case is polished to a refined silver-tone finish, presenting a cream dial that exudes understated elegance. Roman numeral markers at 12 and 6 o'clock anchor the dial, while applied indices and three chronograph sub-dials deliver both visual balance and practical utility. A date window positioned between 4 and 5 o'clock completes the layout, ensuring this timepiece serves the demands of daily wear with quiet confidence.
Powered by a precise quartz movement, the FS5380 offers reliable timekeeping without the need for daily winding. The chronograph complication allows measurement of elapsed time with pushers integrated seamlessly into the case profile, while water resistance to 50 metres ensures durability in everyday situations. The brown leather strap, finished with contrast stitching, provides a warm counterpoint to the cool steel case, making this watch equally at home in boardroom or weekend settings. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring authenticity and full manufacturer warranty coverage with every purchase.
Fossil's Neutra collection represents accessible Swiss-inspired design principles, prioritising clarity of form and legibility. The sapphire crystal offers superior scratch resistance compared to standard mineral glass, protecting the dial from the wear of daily use. Whether you're timing a meeting, tracking a workout, or simply appreciating the symmetry of a well-executed dial layout, the FS5380 delivers versatility without compromise. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the Neutra Chronograph in person, and discover why this model has become a mainstay in Fossil's core collection.

FAQ
Q: What movement powers the Fossil Neutra FS5380?
A: The FS5380 is powered by a reliable quartz movement, offering precise timekeeping with minimal maintenance. A battery replacement is typically required every 2-3 years, which our service team can perform for you.
Q: Is the FS5380 suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for splashes, hand-washing, and brief immersion, but it is not designed for swimming, diving, or sustained water exposure. We recommend removing the watch before showering or swimming.
Q: What type of crystal protects the dial?
A: The Fossil Neutra FS5380 features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which is significantly harder and more durable than standard mineral glass. This ensures the dial remains clear and legible over years of wear.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the 22mm leather strap can be adjusted for wrist size and can also be replaced with any standard 22mm strap. Our boutique team can assist with sizing and strap replacement options.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The top pusher at 2 o'clock starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher at 4 o'clock resets the chronograph hands to zero. The central seconds hand measures elapsed seconds, while the sub-dials track minutes and hours.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Fossil retailer, Cassims & Co. provides the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty with every FS5380 purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and is valid from the date of purchase.
Q: Is the Fossil Neutra FS5380 suitable for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The cream dial, silver-tone case, and brown leather strap create a versatile aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from business settings to casual weekend wear. The clean dial layout and Roman numeral accents add a touch of traditional elegance.

Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove fingerprints and moisture.

- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the leather strap.
- Condition the leather strap periodically with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness.
- Avoid contact with solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, which can damage both the strap and case finish.
