The Fossil Raquel ES5452 is a refined expression of vintage-inspired design, reinterpreted for the modern wearer. This elegant timepiece features a distinctive rectangular case in gold-tone stainless steel, measuring a delicate 23mm in width, perfectly proportioned for the wrist. The striking green sunray dial, adorned with Roman numeral hour markers and gold-tone hands, creates a captivating contrast that recalls the golden era of tank-style watches while maintaining a thoroughly contemporary aesthetic.
Powered by a reliable quartz three-hand date movement, this Raquel watch offers both precision timekeeping and practical functionality. The date window at 6 o'clock provides everyday convenience, while the mineral crystal protects the dial from daily wear. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres), this timepiece can withstand splashes and brief immersion, making it suitable for daily wear with confidence.
The integrated gold-tone stainless steel bracelet, with its distinctive articulated link design, wraps comfortably around the wrist with a circumference of 175mm (±5mm). The slim 7mm case depth ensures the watch sits elegantly beneath a shirt cuff, while the 12mm lug width maintains the cohesive proportions that define the Raquel collection. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring you receive a genuine timepiece with full manufacturer warranty support.
This gold-tone Raquel represents Fossil's commitment to accessible luxury, combining quality materials with thoughtful design at an exceptional price point. The green dial variant offers a bold alternative to traditional dress watch colours, making it ideal for those who appreciate distinctive style without compromising sophistication. Whether worn for professional occasions or as an elegant everyday accessory, this watch delivers versatility and enduring appeal.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: The Fossil Raquel ES5452 is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), which makes it suitable for splashes, hand washing, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports. The 5 ATM rating is designed to protect against everyday water exposure rather than sustained submersion.
Q: What battery does this watch use and how long will it last?
A: This watch uses an SR621SW battery, which typically lasts between 2-3 years depending on usage. When the battery needs replacing, bring your watch to our Mall of the South boutique and our team can replace it for you, ensuring the water resistance seal is properly maintained.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the gold-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by our team at Cassim & Co. The bracelet has a standard circumference of 175mm (±5mm) and can be adjusted by removing or adding links to achieve the perfect fit for your wrist.
Q: What is the difference between mineral crystal and sapphire crystal?
A: This watch features a mineral crystal, which is a hardened glass that offers good scratch resistance for everyday wear at this price point. Mineral crystal is more affordable than sapphire crystal while still providing reliable protection for the dial. With reasonable care, it will maintain its clarity for many years.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The rectangular tank-style case, green dial with Roman numerals, and gold-tone finish create a sophisticated aesthetic that works beautifully for formal and business settings. The slim 7mm case profile allows it to slip easily beneath a dress shirt cuff, making it an ideal choice for elegant occasions.
Q: Does the green dial colour match the product image accurately?
A: Yes, the dial is a rich green sunray finish that creates depth and visual interest. Sunray dials naturally shift in appearance depending on lighting conditions, appearing darker in low light and more vibrant in bright light. The colour you see in our product images is an accurate representation of the dial tone.
Q: What is included with the purchase of this watch?
A: Your Fossil Raquel ES5452 comes complete with the original Fossil presentation box, instruction manual, and a 2-year international manufacturer warranty card. As an authorised Fossil retailer, Cassim & Co. provides full warranty support and after-sales service for your timepiece.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and daily residue that can accumulate over time.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impact, which can affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet, and ensure the crown is pushed fully in during wear to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Although water-resistant to 5 ATM, avoid wearing the watch during swimming, showering, or water sports to prevent moisture ingress over time.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn to preserve the dial colour and bracelet finish.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when needed to avoid damage to the movement and to ensure proper resealing of the case back.
- Clean the bracelet periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to maintain its gold-tone lustre.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics, which can damage the finish and seals of your timepiece.
