CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 2003--Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) has signed an exclusive multiyear global licensing agreement with Fossil, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL). Under the agreement, Fossil will design, manufacture, market and distribute a line of Callaway Golf(R) watches and clocks.

"Callaway Golf is looking forward to our new partnership with Fossil," said Ron Drapeau, CEO and Chairman of Callaway Golf. "The Fossil brand is well-known for its quality and innovation, and we think this is a very beneficial partnership for both parties."

The initial offerings in the Callaway Golf Timepiece Collection will include watches in sport and classic chronograph styles for men, women and children. Strap materials will range from leather to stainless steel, and each watch will have a date feature and Callaway Golf's distinctive chevron logo on the crown. The collection will also include a unique signature chronograph inspired by the Great Big Bertha(R) II Driver, which will feature the driver's distinctive blue color on the dial and an oversized square case.

Watches in the Callaway Golf Timepiece Collection will be designed to provide comfort and performance on and off the golf course. All leather straps will have golf-glove leather backing with an anti-sweat material. All watches will also be packaged in unique Callaway Golf tins. A sneak preview of the collection was presented last week at the Chicago Motivation and Incentive Show.
