Armani Exchange Men’s 45mm Chronograph Watch (AX7105)

The AX7105 is Armani Exchange’s take on a large watch with a three-dial chronograph layout. \n Case and Wrist Presence The case measures 45 mm across. That is a confident size that shows on the wrist and reads clearly across a room. Expect it to show under a cuff rather than hide away, which is generally the point of a case this size. The case is finished in a black PVD coating over the base metal, a hard-wearing plating rather than a paint that can chip. The all-black finish, case included, is the deliberately stealthy option next to a plain steel case. \n Dial and Legibility Colour on the dial is black; the hour markers are applied baton markers. They catch the light at an angle and stay easy to read without a lot of contrast against the dial. \n Functions Three sub-dials handle the chronograph functions – running seconds, elapsed minutes and elapsed hours – laid out either side of the centre. There is a small date aperture set into the dial. \n Water Resistance At 3 ATM this is splash and rain resistant only – take it off before you shower or swim. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit The strap is moulded silicone – it does not absorb sweat the way leather does and rinses clean under a tap. The colour is black. A silicone or rubber strap will not stretch or crack the way leather can in heat, which makes it the more practical choice for gym use, humid climates or a wrist that sweats. \n Who This Watch Suits The larger 45mm case and black-on-black finish suit someone who wants the chronograph to read as a single dark mass on the wrist. \n Care and Maintenance Wipe the case down after a sweaty day and keep it off the nightstand speaker or any other source of a stray magnet; a battery service done by a watchmaker also renews the case seal, not just the cell. Silicone wipes clean with a damp cloth and does not need the conditioning a leather strap does, though it will pick up lint from clothing over time. \n About the Brand Armani Exchange is the younger, more casual line under the Armani group, aimed at a lower price point without dropping the design language entirely. It sits under the Emporio Armani name in the same group but is priced and designed for a younger, more casual customer, with simpler dials and fewer precious-metal finishes. \n Technical Specifications Case diameter 45 mm Case material black pvd Case colour black Dial colour black Strap/bracelet silicone Water resistance 3 ATM Gender Men’s Warranty 24-month international manufacturer warranty \n Buying With Confidence This watch carries a 24-month international manufacturer’s warranty covering the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.
