Fossil ES5523 Everett Rose Tone Bracelet Watch - W10543
Ref. ES5523
Sits in Fossil’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Fossil watches we list, which start at £99.
Price range £99 to £399 across 95 Fossil watches in stock.At 27mm and 7mm deep, this is a watch designed entirely around discretion — slim enough to disappear beneath a cuff and light enough to forget on the wrist. What lifts it out of the ordinary is the surface treatment: a frosted, diamond-dusted finish across the case and bracelet that catches angled light and scatters it rather than reflecting it cleanly, sitting alongside the sunray dial to give the whole piece an unusual depth for something so small. The deployant clasp presses flush into the bracelet geometry rather than interrupting it, and link adjustment uses standard pins — straightforward to have resized. The Miyota GL32 inside is Citizen's own movement manufacturing at work: unshowy, dependable, and rated for roughly three years on a battery.

Learn more about Fossil
Tom Kartsotis founded Fossil in Texas in 1984 after noticing that fashion watches manufactured in Hong Kong could be produced far more cheaply than the market assumed. The name came from his brother's nickname.
The company's insight was presentation. Fossil watches were designed with a deliberately retro American aesthetic and sold in collectable tin boxes, which made an inexpensive quartz watch feel like an object worth keeping. It worked at scale, and Fossil became one of the largest watch companies in the world by unit volume.
The business then grew primarily by acquisition and licensing. Fossil owns Zodiac, Misfit, and the leather goods brand Skagen, and manufactures watches under licence for a long list of fashion houses — Michael Kors, Armani Exchange, Diesel, Kate Spade, and others. For much of the 2010s Fossil produced a substantial share of all branded fashion watches sold globally.
It was also an early and significant player in smartwatches, launching Android Wear devices from 2015 and becoming the largest maker of Google-powered watches, before that market consolidated around Apple, Samsung, and Google itself.
Fossil remains a public company headquartered in Richardson, Texas, and continues to produce its own mechanical and automatic lines alongside the quartz and connected ranges.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
14mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
