The Fossil Scarlette ES5240 combines classic dress watch elegance with modern two-tone styling, featuring a striking green sunray dial that shifts beautifully in changing light. This 32mm quartz timepiece showcases a fluted gold-tone bezel reminiscent of vintage luxury designs, paired with Roman numeral hour markers at XII and VI, complemented by refined diamond indices. The day-date complication at 3 o'clock adds practical functionality to this sophisticated ladies' watch, making it ideal for both professional and social occasions.
Housed in a polished stainless steel case with gold-tone accents, the Scarlette ES5240 sits comfortably on a two-tone bracelet that alternates brushed stainless steel with polished gold-tone centre links.

FAQ
Q: What is the case size of the Fossil Scarlette ES5240?
A: The Scarlette ES5240 features a 32mm case diameter, making it an ideal size for ladies' wrists. This classic dress watch proportion provides elegant presence without overwhelming smaller wrists, whilst remaining substantial enough to make a style statement.
Q: Is the gold colour on this watch real gold?
A: The gold-tone elements on the ES5240 are created using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating applied to stainless steel. This advanced plating technique provides excellent durability and colour retention compared to traditional gold plating, offering the luxury aesthetic of gold at an accessible price point.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming?
A: The ES5240 is water-resistant to 50 metres (5 ATM), which makes it suitable for everyday splashes, handwashing, and brief immersion, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch during aquatic activities to preserve the seals and movement.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically deliver 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage patterns. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our technicians can install a genuine replacement battery whilst checking the case seals to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The two-tone bracelet features removable links that can be professionally sized to your wrist at our store. We provide complimentary bracelet sizing with every watch purchase to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit from day one.
Q: Does this watch have luminous hands for low-light visibility?
A: Yes, the ES5240 features gold-tone hands with luminous material that charges in natural or artificial light and glows in darkness, allowing you to read the time in low-light conditions. The lume provides several hours of visibility after adequate charging.
Q: What warranty does this Fossil watch come with?
A: As an authorised Fossil retailer, we provide the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is only valid when purchased from authorised dealers like Cassim & Co., and does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or accidental damage.
Warranty
- This Fossil watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- Warranty coverage includes manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship that affect the watch's functionality.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, crystal damage, or bracelet stretch.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable items with a limited service life.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, including swimming or showering with the watch beyond its stated water resistance, is excluded.
- Accidental damage, impacts, improper handling, or damage caused by unauthorised service or repair voids the warranty.
- Warranty service must be performed by authorised Fossil service centres or authorised retailers like Cassim & Co.
- Proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required for all warranty claims.
- The warranty covers repair or replacement at Fossil's discretion; cosmetic damage to the case, dial, or bracelet that does not affect functionality is not covered.
Care Guide
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly using a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils that accumulate during daily wear.
- For deeper cleaning of the two-tone bracelet, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water, ensuring no water enters the case. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to chemicals including perfumes, solvents, detergents, and cosmetics, as these may damage the PVD gold-tone coating and seals.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as the 50-metre water resistance is designed for splashes only, not immersion.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or pouch prevents scratches and dust accumulation.
- Avoid impact and strong magnetic fields which can affect the quartz movement's accuracy or damage internal components.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in intervals, typically every 2-3 years.
- During battery replacement, request a water resistance test to ensure case seals remain effective in protecting the movement.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the manufacturer warranty and may compromise water resistance.
- Avoid wearing the watch during activities involving significant vibration or impact, as this may affect the quartz movement over time.
- Bring your Fossil Scarlette to our servicing department every 3-4 years for professional cleaning, seal inspection, and preventative maintenance.
