The Fossil Scarlette ES5300 is a refined expression of modern femininity, blending classic design cues with contemporary proportions. Housed in a 38mm stainless steel case with a signature fluted bezel reminiscent of haute horlogerie, this three-hand date watch offers understated elegance for the discerning wearer. The silver-toned sunray dial features applied Roman numeral hour markers at 12 and 6 o'clock, slender stick indices, and a date aperture at 3 o'clock, all framed by the polished stainless steel case and matching integrated bracelet.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the Scarlette ES5300 delivers precise timekeeping with minimal maintenance requirements. The 38mm case diameter strikes an ideal balance between presence and wearability, while the 5 ATM water resistance provides protection against splashes and brief immersion. The fully integrated stainless steel bracelet tapers elegantly from case to clasp, offering both comfort and security on the wrist. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to present this timepiece as part of our carefully curated selection of accessible luxury watches.

Whether worn in the boardroom or at evening engagements, the Scarlette's versatile aesthetic transitions seamlessly across occasions.
