Description
The Fossil Stella Mini ES5138 is a refined expression of contemporary femininity, blending elegant design with reliable quartz precision. This 30mm timepiece features a lustrous white mother-of-pearl dial that captures and reflects light beautifully, complemented by a textured gold-tone bezel that adds tactile dimension to the case. The two-tone stainless steel bracelet—alternating polished silver and gold-tone links—creates a sophisticated contrast that works equally well in professional and social settings.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring that every timepiece we supply carries the full manufacturer's warranty and provenance. This Stella Mini features a three-hand date complication at 3 o'clock, powered by a precise quartz movement that requires minimal maintenance while delivering consistent accuracy. The mother-of-pearl dial is complemented by Roman numeral hour markers and luminous hands, ensuring legibility across varying light conditions.
Built to withstand the demands of daily wear, the ES5138 is water-resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres), making it suitable for handwashing and light splashes, though not for swimming or submersion. The mineral crystal provides scratch resistance, while the stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability. The 14mm bracelet is designed to be comfortable on smaller wrists, with a secure fold-over clasp that can be professionally adjusted to achieve the perfect fit.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, the Fossil Stella Mini ES5138 is designed for daily wear. Its 5 ATM water resistance protects against handwashing and splashes, while the mineral crystal and stainless steel construction provide excellent durability. The quartz movement requires only periodic battery replacement, making it a low-maintenance choice for everyday use.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The two-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized at our Johannesburg showrooms to ensure a perfect fit. We offer complimentary bracelet adjustment with purchase, and our team can remove or add links as needed. The bracelet features a 14mm width designed for comfort on smaller wrists.
Q: What is the mother-of-pearl dial, and how should I care for it?
A: Mother-of-pearl is a natural iridescent material that reflects light in subtle, shifting colours, creating a unique and elegant dial surface. To maintain its lustre, avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or cleaning agents. Wipe the crystal gently with a soft cloth, and have the watch professionally serviced when needed to preserve the dial's beauty.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years, depending on usage. When the battery requires replacement, visit our boutique where our watch servicing team can install a genuine replacement battery and reseal the case to maintain water resistance. We recommend professional battery replacement to preserve the watch's integrity.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: The 5 ATM water resistance rating makes this watch suitable for handwashing and light splashes, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion. Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes, as these can compromise the seals and affect water resistance over time.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer, this watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse. Retain your proof of purchase to validate warranty claims.
Q: What makes the Stella Mini collection distinctive?
A: The Stella Mini collection is characterised by its refined 30mm case size, textured bezels, and elegant dial treatments including mother-of-pearl. These timepieces are designed to offer sophisticated style in a smaller, more versatile format that suits a wide range of wrist sizes and occasions, from professional settings to evening wear.
