Fossil Grey Automatic circa 1999






So this was my first Automatic. Wonder if it is a Claro-Semag? One can only guess. Fossil describes it as a groundbreaking Fossil that requires no battery and winds from your own body movement! The cushion-shaped, cutout dial shows rotor movement inside the case for a futuristic, hi-tech look. Stainless steel case and bracelet; shiny silver indexes on the face. The innovative, battery-free design stores power for approximately 40 hours. Silver: Grey, ion-plated stainless steel case.


I would have to agree with Fossil on the 40 hour power reserve. This has been a very sturdy and durable watch. It has also handled a lot of water and I think it feel in a deep fryer once. They don't put that in the manual do they. I got this watch before I really had a understanding of watch movements. I just thought it was very groovy that I never need battery's.
