FOSSIL ME1162

The Beauty of Mechanics

Men's watches perfectly align with the philosophy of the popular American brand FOSSIL, which focuses on unique design. The model utilizes the patented Twist movement. Essentially, it combines "quartz" and "mechanical" features, but the latter serves purely decorative purposes. The "mechanical interior" of the FOSSIL ME1162 is visible through a large opening on the left side of the dial. When worn, both its operation and the rotation of the separate second counter are visible.

The unusual appearance is further emphasized by the asymmetric sizes of the Roman numerals used: large 'VII', 'XI', and 'XII', along with a miniature 'II'. This decision adds dynamism and boldness to the design.

The Precision of Quartz

The quartz movement is responsible for timekeeping in the FOSSIL ME1162. Its main advantage is high precision, with errors becoming noticeable over weeks or months of use (unlike "mechanical" ones, which show inaccuracies in days). However, there is also a battery that serves as a power source. Over time, it will need to be replaced with a new one.

The second hand is placed on a separate sub-dial located near the 6 o'clock mark. A calendar is also provided, displaying the day of the week and the date of the month, using additional mini sub-dials at about nine and three o'clock rather than the usual windows. Due to the abundance of offered information, the presence of a skeleton design, and unusual numeral sizes, users might experience some initial challenges in reading the data quickly.

Durable Case

The model features a 44mm stainless steel case with a durable gold PVD coating. It is complemented by a blue dial protected by mineral glass, and a dark blue leather strap with a classic buckle. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM (WR50M), meaning the watch can be worn in the shower and won't be damaged by rain.

FOSSIL ME1162 is an original Skeleton watch that will certainly attract young people and other buyers who are free from stereotypes.
