Fossil FS5963 Neutra Chronograph Green Dial Brown Leather Band

Fossil FS5963: Green and Brown Done Right

Green dials paired with brown leather have become one of those combinations that just works, and the Neutra FS5963 executes it cleanly. The sunburst green dial catches light well without being ostentatious, and the brown leather strap softens what could otherwise feel like a pure sport watch.

The Neutra Formula

Fossil’s Neutra line sits between their sporty Machine watches and dressy pieces like the Minimalist. The FS5963 follows the template: three chronograph subdials arranged in a clean layout, Roman numerals at 12 and 6 for a touch of formality, and a case design that doesn’t scream “sport watch” despite having timing functions.

The Color Play

That green isn’t quite forest, not quite olive—it’s somewhere in between, shifting tone depending on the light. The sunburst finish adds depth without being flashy. Against the silver case and gold-toned hands, it creates a warm overall effect that works equally well with earth tones or navy.

Practical Chronograph

The quartz chrono offers what you’d expect: start/stop/reset via pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock, with subdials handling running seconds and elapsed time. A date window keeps daily practicality covered. At 44mm and 12mm thick, it’s sized for presence without overwhelming—the leather strap helps it sit comfortably.

The Bottom Line

The Neutra FS5963 delivers a dressy chronograph aesthetic at a price that doesn’t require justification. The green/brown combination gives it more personality than the typical black or blue options, while the execution stays refined enough for office wear. 50m water resistance handles the basics, and the 22mm strap width means plenty of aftermarket options.
