The Fossil Virginia ES3405 is a refined expression of contemporary femininity, marrying classic elegance with modern embellishment. This quartz three-hand timepiece features a 30mm round stainless steel case, perfectly proportioned for a graceful wrist presence. The rose gold sunray dial is adorned with Roman numerals at XII and VI, with pavé-set crystal hour markers and a glittering crystal-set bezel that catches the light with every movement. Silver-tone hands provide crisp legibility against the warm dial, while the mineral crystal protects the refined face beneath.
The two-tone stainless steel bracelet seamlessly integrates polished silver links with rose gold-tone centre sections, each link embellished with sparkling crystals that echo the bezel's brilliance. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring every timepiece carries the full manufacturer's warranty and the assurance of genuine craftsmanship. This watch is powered by a reliable quartz movement, delivering precise timekeeping with minimal maintenance.
Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), the Virginia is suitable for everyday wear and can withstand splashes and brief immersion, though it is not intended for swimming or water sports. The 14mm bracelet width strikes an elegant balance, neither too delicate nor overly bold, making this watch equally at home in the boardroom or at evening occasions. Whether you're seeking a timeless gift or a personal statement piece, the Virginia ES3405 offers enduring style with a touch of sparkle.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: The Fossil Virginia ES3405 has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), which means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion, such as handwashing or caught in the rain. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The crystal embellishments and bracelet construction are best preserved by avoiding prolonged water exposure.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how often will it need replacing?
A: This watch uses a standard SR626SW quartz battery. Under normal use, a quartz battery typically lasts between 2 to 3 years. Our team at Cassims & Co. can replace your battery and perform a pressure test to ensure water resistance is maintained.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the two-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary sizing when you purchase this watch from our Mall of the South boutique, ensuring a perfect fit before you leave the store.
Q: Are the stones on the bezel and bracelet genuine crystals or glass?
A: The embellishments on the Fossil Virginia are pavé-set crystals, not diamonds or precious gemstones. These crystals provide brilliant sparkle and are securely set within the bezel and bracelet links. They are durable for everyday wear when the watch is treated with appropriate care.
Q: What is the case diameter and is it suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The case measures 30mm in diameter, which is considered a classic women's size. This proportionate dimension sits elegantly on most wrist sizes, particularly small to medium builds, without appearing oversized or overwhelming.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Fossil retailer, Cassims & Co. provides this watch with a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised dealer.
Q: How do I care for the two-tone finish on the bracelet?
A: To preserve the two-tone finish, avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cleaning agents. Wipe the bracelet gently with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove oils and perspiration. Store the watch in a dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use, and avoid wearing it during strenuous activities that may cause scratching.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe your watch with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils, perspiration, and residue that may dull the crystals or finish.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep your watch away from perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and solvents, as these can damage the two-tone plating and loosen crystal settings.
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 5 ATM, avoid submerging the watch in water, showering, or swimming with it. Wipe dry immediately if exposed to moisture.
- Storage: Store your Fossil watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Use the original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and tangling with other jewellery.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure the case back is properly resealed and water resistance is maintained.
- Avoid Impact: Remove your watch during vigorous activities, sports, or tasks that may subject it to shocks or impacts, which can damage the movement or loosen crystals.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend having your watch inspected every 2-3 years to ensure all functions operate correctly and the crystal settings remain secure.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Periodically check the bracelet links and clasp for signs of wear. If the bracelet becomes loose or damaged, bring it to our boutique for adjustment or repair.
- Crystal Care: The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratchproof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and materials that may cause surface damage.
