The Fossil Neutra Chronograph FS6113 is a refined timepiece that seamlessly marries classic styling with modern quartz precision. Housed in a 44mm gold-tone stainless steel case, this watch commands attention with its sunray champagne dial, Roman numeral hour markers, and three functional chronograph sub-dials. The domed mineral crystal adds a vintage-inspired aesthetic, while the Japanese quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping and chronograph functionality. A date window positioned at 4 o'clock adds everyday utility to this elegant design.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of FOSSIL watches, ensuring that every timepiece we offer is backed by genuine warranties and after-sales support. The Neutra collection embodies Fossil's commitment to accessible luxury, offering Swiss-inspired design codes at an approachable price point. The rich brown leather strap with contrast stitching complements the warm gold tones beautifully, making this chronograph equally suited to business meetings and weekend occasions.
Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), the FS6113 can withstand splashes and brief immersion, though it is not suitable for swimming or diving. The luminous hands ensure legibility in low-light conditions, while the precise chronograph functions allow you to measure elapsed time with accuracy. Whether you're timing a presentation or simply appreciating the mechanical satisfaction of a well-executed complication, this watch delivers on both form and function.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Neutra FS6113 suitable for swimming?
A: With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, but it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports. The chronograph pushers should never be operated underwater, as this may compromise the seal.
Q: What battery does this watch use and how long does it last?
A: The Fossil Neutra FS6113 uses a standard quartz battery, typically lasting 2-3 years depending on usage of the chronograph function. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique, and our team can replace the battery and pressure-test the case to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap with a different one?
A: Yes, the FS6113 features a standard interchangeable strap system. The lug width is 22mm, allowing you to swap the brown leather strap for other 22mm straps, including metal bracelets, NATO straps, or alternative leather options. Our boutique stocks a range of compatible straps.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The top pusher (typically at 2 o'clock) starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher (at 4 o'clock) resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials track elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours. Never operate the pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
Q: What is the lug-to-lug measurement of this 44mm watch?
A: Fossil has not published the official lug-to-lug measurement for the FS6113. However, given the 44mm case diameter, the lug-to-lug distance is estimated at approximately 50-52mm, making it suitable for wrists measuring 16cm and above. We recommend trying the watch in person at our boutique for the best fit assessment.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Fossil presentation box?
A: Yes, the Fossil Neutra FS6113 is supplied in the original Fossil presentation box with all accompanying documentation, including the international warranty card, instruction manual, and authenticity certificates. This ensures your watch is protected and ready for gifting.
Q: Is the gold-tone finish prone to wear over time?
A: The gold-tone finish on the FS6113 is an IP (Ion Plating) coating applied to stainless steel, which offers good durability for everyday wear. However, all plated finishes will show signs of wear over time, particularly on high-contact areas like the case edges and lugs. Proper care, including avoiding impacts and harsh chemicals, will help preserve the finish.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Fossil Neutra Chronograph FS6113 is covered by a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Validity: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer such as Cassims & Co. Proof of purchase (original receipt or invoice) must be presented for any warranty claims.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including defects in the case, movement, dial, hands, and factory-fitted strap or bracelet.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, dents, or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal, or strap. Battery replacement, strap or bracelet wear, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limits, damage from accidents, impacts, or improper handling, and damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications are excluded.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets, accidental impact to the crown or pushers, or battery replacement. Water resistance must be checked annually, and Fossil recommends having gaskets replaced every 2-3 years.
- Warranty Claims: For warranty service, return the watch to Cassims & Co. with proof of purchase. We will assess the claim and liaise directly with Fossil South Africa to arrange repair or replacement as per warranty terms.
- After-Sales Support: Beyond the manufacturer warranty, Cassims & Co. provides ongoing after-sales support, including battery replacements, strap adjustments, and general servicing for all watches purchased from us.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your Fossil Neutra to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, which can damage the case finish and leather strap.
- Water Exposure: Although water-resistant to 5 ATM, do not operate the crown or chronograph pushers when the watch is wet. After exposure to moisture, dry the watch thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not wear the watch while showering, swimming, or diving.
- Leather Strap Care: Leather is a natural material that will patina and age with wear. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, and direct sunlight. Wipe the strap regularly with a dry cloth. Allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes damp—never use direct heat. Consider rotating with another strap to extend longevity.
- Chronograph Usage: The chronograph function should not be left running continuously for extended periods, as this can drain the battery more quickly. Always return the chronograph hands to zero after use to preserve the mechanism and ensure accurate future operation.
- Case and Crystal Cleaning: Clean the case and mineral crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the crystal or damage the gold-tone finish.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in its original box or a dedicated watch case, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid storing near magnetic devices such as speakers or mobile phones.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker or at our Cassims & Co. boutique. Improper battery replacement can compromise water resistance and damage the movement. We recommend a pressure test after every battery change.
- Regular Servicing: Quartz watches require minimal servicing, but we recommend a professional inspection every 3-4 years to ensure the seals, pushers, and movement remain in optimal condition.
