The Fossil Scarlette ES5197 is a refined expression of contemporary femininity, where classic design codes meet modern sophistication. This quartz-powered timepiece features a captivating sunray blue dial adorned with applied crystal indices and Roman numeral hour markers at XII and VI, finished with a distinctive day-date aperture at three o'clock. The fluted bezel, reminiscent of luxury watchmaking traditions, frames the dial beautifully while the polished stainless steel case and integrated bracelet deliver a seamless aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening engagements.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring every timepiece we supply carries the full international warranty and genuine provenance. The Scarlette ES5197's 33mm case diameter strikes an elegant balance on the wrist, neither too bold nor too delicate, while the reliable Japanese quartz movement ensures precise timekeeping with minimal maintenance. Water resistance to 5 ATM provides everyday practicality, protecting against splashes and brief immersion without compromising the watch's refined character.
The integrated stainless steel bracelet, with its combination of polished centre links and brushed outer links, demonstrates Fossil's commitment to accessible luxury. Crystal accents at even-numbered hour positions add subtle brilliance without overwhelming the dial's refined composition. The mineral crystal offers scratch resistance for daily wear, while the day-date complication adds genuine utility to this dressy timepiece. For those seeking a versatile watch that honours horological heritage while embracing modern design language, the Scarlette ES5197 delivers exceptional value.

Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and environmental residue.

- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Although water-resistant to 5 ATM, remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports. Water resistance seals may degrade over time.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when timekeeping becomes irregular. Do not leave a depleted battery in the watch, as leakage may damage the movement.

- Have the watch professionally serviced every 3-5 years to maintain water resistance and movement reliability, including gasket replacement and pressure testing.
- Clean the bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- If the bracelet shows signs of looseness or the clasp becomes difficult to operate, visit our boutique for inspection and adjustment.
