From the globally renowned and well-established watchmakers Fossil, comes this ultra-stylish and sporty timepiece from their popular series of analog men’s watches. This brilliantly designed battery powered men’s timepiece from Fossil has a very sophisticated dial layout which manages to effortlessly combine the fine elements of form and function.
The timekeeping functions on this fashionably designed men’s watch is driven by the popular quartz crystal technology, which uses small bar shaped crystals of quartz or silicon dioxide. Quartz timepieces like this one from Fossil make use of the quartz crystal technology as they provide a constant electronic signal for the purpose of accurate timekeeping.
Body and Design
Sporting a considerably sized round dial that measures 45 mm in diameter and 14 mm in thickness, this personal timepiece from Fossil contains a dark coloured or a midnight hue watch face. All the hour markers are in the form of prominent light coloured bars with a streak of dark right down its middle. This same dark and light combination is also used on the watch’s hour and minute hands, while the seconds ticker is completely covered in the dark colour.
There is also an outer ring on the dial which exists beyond the hour markers and carries the light coloured and dark colours over the midnight hue of the watch face. This smart use of contrasting or easily distinguishable colours helps you obtain the necessary information with a single glance of the dial.
This thoughtfully conceived dial is surrounded by a thick stainless steel case that apart from enhancing the aesthetics also provides the dial with an important level of durability and protection. The upper portion of this case holds a stainless steel bezel that envelopes the perimeter of the watch and sports a midnight hue, quite similar to the colour of the watch face. This bezel comes into play when the tachymeter is involved as it carries the tachymeter grid marking. The outer ring of the dial carries light coloured markings which indicate the minutes with a 5 minute interval.
The dial on this Fossil men’s watch also sports three analog sub-dials that are capable of key chronographical measurements. The three sub-dials serve the purpose of the stopwatch function with the three sub-dials indicating the elapsed hours, minutes and the seconds. The date display feature on this watch works on the digit wheel system and has its display window at the 3 o’clock position on the dial.
All the time and date related adjustments can be easily carried out by using the rotating crown found on the right side of the dial. The stopwatch operation indicated through the three sub-dials can be operated through the two push buttons found on either sides of the watch’s rotating crown. The multi-functional dial on this Fossil along with its protective case is kept comfortably attached to your wrist as long as you desire with an extremely classy stainless steel bracelet strap that sports an immensely attractive smoke-hue. This highly attractive strap can be fastened or unfastened using an effective deployment clasp.
The stainless steel strap which has a 10 mm band width is further subjected to a specialized treatment called ion-plating. This ion-plating technology was initially conceived and consistently made use of by the U.S. space program until its eventual commercialization. The inclusion of ion-plating offers tremendous advantages over traditional plating processes in terms of adhesion, hardness and durability. The inclusion of a hardy mineral glass along with the dial’s stainless steel case gives the watch a water-resistant capability of up to 100 m.
With such a high degree of practicality and effectiveness, this men’s wrist watch from Fossil epitomizes style and technology that is sure to extend your personality with an added sense of suave and sophistication, wherever you go.
