The Fossil Stella ES5131 is a refined expression of modern femininity, combining classic design elements with contemporary rose gold-tone elegance. This 37mm quartz timepiece features a luminous white mother-of-pearl dial that captures and reflects light with every movement, creating a subtle play of iridescence across the wrist. The bezel is set with glittering crystals that frame the dial, while rose gold-tone Roman numeral hour markers and a practical date window at 3 o'clock ensure both beauty and functionality work in perfect harmony.
Crafted from rose gold-tone stainless steel, the case and integrated bracelet deliver a seamless aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening occasion. The three-hand quartz movement provides reliable Swiss-inspired accuracy without the maintenance demands of mechanical calibres, while 5 ATM water resistance offers reassurance during daily wear. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to present this Stella as part of our curated selection of FOSSIL watches, each chosen for its ability to deliver exceptional value and enduring style.
The Fossil Stella collection has long been celebrated for its ability to marry accessible luxury with genuine horological competence, and the ES5131 exemplifies this philosophy. The mother-of-pearl dial is not merely decorative—it is a natural material that ensures no two watches are identical, lending your timepiece a unique character. The crystal-set bezel adds a touch of glamour without overwhelming the dial's elegant restraint, while the rose gold-tone finish remains remarkably resistant to tarnishing when properly cared for.
This watch arrives with a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects, and our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to assist with battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and routine maintenance. We invite you to experience the Stella's refined presence in person at our Mall of the South boutique, where our specialists can ensure the perfect fit and answer any questions about this exceptional timepiece.

FAQ
Q: Is the mother-of-pearl dial genuine or synthetic?
A: The Fossil Stella ES5131 features a genuine white mother-of-pearl dial, a natural material derived from mollusc shells. This ensures each dial exhibits unique iridescent patterns that shift subtly in different lighting conditions, making every watch slightly different in character.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long does it last?
A: The ES5131 uses a standard quartz watch battery, typically lasting between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. Our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery when required, ensuring the case is properly resealed to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 5 ATM water resistance, the Stella ES5131 can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend removing the watch before prolonged contact with water to preserve both the movement and the rose gold-tone finish.
Q: Will the rose gold-tone finish fade or tarnish over time?
A: The rose gold-tone PVD coating applied to the stainless steel case and bracelet is highly durable and designed to resist tarnishing under normal wear conditions. To maintain its lustre, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and chlorinated water, and clean gently with a soft cloth.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing links to achieve the perfect fit. Visit our Mall of the South boutique where our specialists will size the bracelet complimentary with your purchase, or contact our servicing team for adjustments at any time.
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: Quartz movements like the one in the ES5131 are battery-powered and offer superior accuracy with minimal maintenance, typically varying by only a few seconds per month. Automatic movements are mechanical and powered by wrist motion, requiring no battery but needing periodic servicing. For everyday reliability and convenience, quartz is an excellent choice.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, the Fossil Stella ES5131 carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, but does not cover battery replacement, normal wear and tear, or damage from misuse.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and sudden impacts that could affect timekeeping accuracy or damage the case and crystal.
- Water Exposure: With 5 ATM water resistance, the ES5131 can handle splashes and rain, but should not be worn while swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports. Never operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case, bezel, and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly dampened cloth with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals.
- Mother-of-Pearl Care: The natural mother-of-pearl dial is delicate and can be damaged by chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics. Apply fragrances and lotions before putting on your watch to prevent contact with the dial.
- Bracelet Maintenance: The rose gold-tone stainless steel bracelet may accumulate dirt between links. Clean periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water, ensuring the watch is dried completely afterwards.
- Crown Operation: When adjusting the time or date, pull the crown gently and return it to its original position fully after setting to maintain water resistance. Do not adjust the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to avoid damage to the movement.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery depletes (typically after 2-3 years), have it replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the case is properly resealed and water resistance is maintained. Our watch servicing team can assist with this.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
- Servicing: While quartz watches require less maintenance than mechanical timepieces, we recommend having your Stella inspected every 3-4 years to check seals, water resistance, and overall condition.
