The Heritage of Harwell: Equestrian Sophistication
The Fossil Harwell (GWPFW1049) is a sculptural timepiece that draws its design inspiration from the polished hardware of traditional equestrian saddles. By utilizing signature D-ring lugs and a streamlined 28mm silhouette, Fossil has created a watch that doubles as a piece of high-fashion jewellery. This model is perfect for those who seek a sophisticated accessory that celebrates both vintage heritage and modern luxury.
Case Architecture and Gold-Tone Finishing
Forged from premium 316L stainless steel, the case is treated with a high-density Gold-Tone Ion Plating (IP). This finish provides a rich, lustrous gold hue that is highly resistant to tarnishing and wear. The compact 28mm size offers a dainty, jewel-like presence, while the mirror-polished surfaces ensure the watch catches the light with every movement of the wrist.
The Dial: Gold Sunray Brilliance
The dial of the Harwell features a dynamic Gold Sunray finish. This radial texture creates a shimmering effect, shifting through various golden tones depending on the light. The minimalist layout, featuring polished baton indices and a Roman numeral at 12 o’clock, maintains a clean and sophisticated look that never goes out of style.
