The Fossil Raquel ES5401 is a refined expression of contemporary femininity, combining the soft elegance of a pink mother-of-pearl dial with the architectural precision of a rectangular stainless steel case. This quartz timepiece measures a delicate 26mm in width with a slim 7mm case profile, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate understated sophistication on the wrist. The dial features Roman numeral hour markers and a crystal-set inner section that frames the luminous mother-of-pearl surface, while a practical date aperture sits discreetly at the 6 o'clock position.
Crafted from polished stainless steel, the integrated five-link bracelet complements the watch's rectangular case design with a seamless flow from lugs to clasp. The mother-of-pearl dial captures and reflects light with every movement, creating a subtle iridescence that pairs beautifully with both professional and evening attire. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer this distinctive timepiece as an authorised Fossil retailer, ensuring you receive a genuine product backed by the brand's international warranty and our commitment to exceptional service.
Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), the Raquel is protected against everyday splashes and brief immersion, though it is not intended for swimming or diving. The reliable quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance, requiring only periodic battery replacement. For those seeking a watch that balances artistic design with practical functionality, the ES5401 delivers on both fronts with its compact 40mm lug-to-lug height and comfortable bracelet construction.
Whether you're building a collection or searching for a signature piece that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to bistro, this Fossil Raquel offers versatility without compromise.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Raquel ES5401 suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, absolutely. The 5 ATM water resistance protects against handwashing, rain, and everyday splashes, while the slim 7mm case profile sits comfortably under shirt cuffs. The durable stainless steel construction and scratch-resistant mineral crystal make it ideal for daily wear.
Q: What does mother-of-pearl mean on a watch dial?
A: Mother-of-pearl is a natural iridescent material sourced from the inner shell lining of certain molluscs. Each dial is unique, with subtle variations in colour and lustre that create a distinctive shimmer as light hits the surface from different angles.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage. Our watch servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace your battery and perform a pressure test to ensure water resistance is maintained.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary sizing with purchase at our Mall of the South boutique, and our team can assist with future adjustments as needed.
Q: Is this watch too formal for casual occasions?
A: Not at all. While the Raquel has an elegant aesthetic with its mother-of-pearl dial and crystal detailing, the pink hue and rectangular design make it versatile enough to complement both smart casual and formal attire. It transitions beautifully between different dress codes.
Q: What is covered under the 2-year Fossil warranty?
A: The international Fossil warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase. It does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, accidental damage, or water damage resulting from misuse. Warranty service is only valid when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: While the 5 ATM rating protects against splashes and brief immersion, we do not recommend swimming, showering, or exposing the watch to hot water, as this can compromise the seals and affect water resistance over time.
Warranty
- Warranty Provider: This watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase.
- Validity: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, bracelet wear, crystal scratches, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage caused by accidents or improper handling, or servicing performed by unauthorised personnel.
- Claim Process: To claim warranty service, present your original proof of purchase along with the watch. Warranty service will be provided at Fossil's discretion through repair or replacement.
- After-Sales Support: Beyond the manufacturer warranty, Cassims & Co. provides ongoing support including battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and professional servicing to keep your timepiece in optimal condition.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time due to aging of gaskets. Water resistance cannot be guaranteed unless the watch has been recently pressure-tested by an authorised service centre.
Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove oils, perspiration, and debris that can accumulate over time.
- Water Exposure: Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet. After exposure to water, dry the watch thoroughly with a soft cloth. Never expose to hot water or steam.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing.
- Mother-of-Pearl Dial: Never attempt to clean the dial directly. If servicing is required, only authorised technicians should handle the movement and dial components.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and water resistance testing. Do not allow a depleted battery to remain in the watch, as it may leak and damage the movement.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protection.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Service Intervals: We recommend having your watch inspected every 2-3 years to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and the movement is functioning optimally.
- Impact Protection: While durable, avoid subjecting the watch to strong impacts or shocks that could damage the case, crystal, or movement.
