Armani Exchange Men’s 46mm Watch (AX2411)

The AX2411 is Armani Exchange’s take on a large watch. \n Case and Wrist Presence At 46 mm, the case sits in a size most wrists can carry without feeling like a tool watch. 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 Blue is the dial colour, marked out with 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 A date window sits to the side of the dial, cut into the face rather than printed on it. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit The strap is leather, stitched along the edge, and will darken and soften with wear the way leather does. The colour is black. A leather strap that does not fit straight out of the box can usually be resized in minutes by a jeweller or cobbler. \n Who This Watch Suits The all-black case against the leather strap is a deliberately understated combination for a case this size. \n Care and Maintenance Keep it away from perfume, solvents and extreme heat, and have the battery changed by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper change reseats the case seal at the same time, which is what actually protects the water rating. A leather strap lasts longer if you let it dry flat after it gets wet and keep it off the same wrist every single day; rotating straps between wears gives the leather time to breathe. \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 46 mm Case material black pvd Case colour black Dial colour blue Strap/bracelet leather 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. It ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, with nationwide delivery and tracking. As with any unworn watch in its original packaging, it is covered by your rights under the Consumer Protection Act. The textured navy dial and matte black case combination reads darker than a plain black or silver dial version of the same case.
