Fossil has introduced a fresh lineup of watches in India just in time for the holiday and Christmas gifting rush, and I think the collection feels thoughtfully curated. There are five models in total, spread across the Everett, Carraway, Harlow, and Raquel families. The selection ranges from mechanical automatic watches crafted for men to pieces that lean more toward jewelry for women. Fossil seems to be positioning these as long-lasting gifts rather than seasonal novelties, which perhaps makes sense if you want something meaningful that stays in use well beyond the holidays. All models are already available across Fossil’s online and offline retail channels in India.
Key Takeaways
- The lineup features two men’s watches and three women’s watches.
- Prices start at INR 10,495 for the Harlow Watch Ring and go up to INR 20,995 for the Everett Automatic.
- The men’s models focus on automatic movements with open-heart or skeletonized designs.
- The women’s models highlight gold-tone stainless steel and festive accents such as satin green.
- The Harlow Watch Ring (ES5446) functions both as a ring and a miniature timepiece.
Men’s Collection: Mechanical Designs
Fossil’s holiday selection for men revolves around automatic movements. These watches run on the motion of the wrist rather than a battery, which is something many enthusiasts appreciate. It gives the watch a kind of mechanical charm that feels both traditional and slightly technical.
Everett Automatic (ME3275)
Priced at INR 20,995, the Everett Automatic features a 42mm gold-tone stainless steel case and a sunray blue open-heart dial that lets you see part of the movement working. The display caseback offers an additional view of the mechanics, something I personally find interesting even if I don’t check it often. Fossil presents this model as a blend of sporty and refined design elements, making it suitable for holiday events or even everyday wear if you enjoy a bit of flair.
Carraway (ME3272)
The Carraway model comes in at INR 19,995 and brings a rectangular case that subtly curves to follow the wrist. It uses a skeletonized dial and an open caseback to showcase its automatic movement. With the croco-embossed leather strap, the watch leans slightly more classic, though the visible mechanics give it a modern twist. It feels like the kind of watch someone might choose if they want a balance between vintage influences and contemporary details.
Women’s Collection: Jewelry and Timepieces
The women’s range places emphasis on pieces that double as accessories, leaning heavily on gold-tone stainless steel and festive seasonal shades. These feel more like wearable ornaments that happen to tell time.
Harlow Watch Ring (ES5446)
Retailing at INR 10,495, the Harlow Watch Ring is a miniature, fully functional watch designed to be worn as a ring. It uses an octagonal gold-tone stainless steel case paired with a flexible band, and the dial has a matte textured cream finish. This is clearly aimed at those who enjoy unconventional accessories. I think it sits somewhere between playful and practical, which might appeal to someone wanting a unique holiday gift.
Harlow (ES5445)
The wrist-worn Harlow version costs INR 19,995. It keeps the same octagonal gold-tone case but adds a black onyx stone accent with sparkle details at the 6 o’clock position. The polished gold-tone stainless steel bracelet complements the cream textured dial, giving it a more traditional jewelry-watch feel. It feels festive without being overly themed.
Raquel (ES5452)
The Raquel, priced at INR 13,495, presents a rectangular gold-tone case with a matching stainless steel bracelet. Its satin green dial stands out immediately and seems designed specifically with holiday styling in mind. The watch includes a three-hand display and a date window, which adds everyday practicality. It might resonate with someone who wants a festive color but still intends to wear the watch regularly.
Availability and Brand Context
Fossil, an American lifestyle brand with a significant presence in India, has already listed these models across its official website, exclusive stores, and authorized partners such as Helios, Tata CLiQ, and Nykaa. Most Fossil watches in this category tend to come with a two-year international warranty that covers manufacturing defects. The timing of this launch aligns with India’s peak wedding and holiday shopping season, a period when gold-tone accessories naturally see higher demand. It feels like Fossil is leaning into that trend quite directly.
