The Emporio Armani AR11689 is built around a green dial.
Reading the Dial
A green dial sits behind the crystal.
Movement and Functions
A quartz movement drives the watch. That means accuracy which needs no daily attention, no winding routine, and no rate drift to correct.
- Water resistance – 5 ATM (50 metres)
Strap, Clasp and Fit
The bracelet is stainless steel. Sizing is a five-minute job for a jeweller – links come out to bring it to your wrist.
Water Resistance and Everyday Durability
The watch is rated to 5 ATM, or 50 metres of static pressure. That covers rain, hand washing and a swim, but not diving or high-pressure water. Make sure the crown is fully seated before any contact with water.
Styling Notes
Green has moved from novelty to staple. It works against brown leather, cream and navy, and reads as a considered choice rather than a safe one.
Care and Maintenance
A watch at this level rewards very little maintenance, but the little it asks for makes the difference between one that still looks sharp in five years and one that does not. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper service reseats the case gasket at the same time, which is what actually preserves the water rating. A flat battery left in the case is the single most common cause of avoidable movement damage. A bracelet collects more than people expect. A soft toothbrush, warm water and a drop of dish soap along the links once a season keeps it looking new.
Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat, and it will hold its rate and its finish.
About the Brand and Ownership
Emporio Armani watches sit in the sweet spot between fashion and function: recognisable design, real build quality, and a price that does not ask you to think of the watch as an investment. Quartz keeps the running costs near zero – a battery every few years and the occasional seal check is the whole of the maintenance schedule. Kept out of direct heat, away from magnets and wiped down after a sweaty day, a watch like this will outlast several phones.
The Short Version
What you are getting is a bracelet that gives it weight on the wrist. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it.

Buying With Confidence
Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get. The watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, and it is covered by the full international warranty from the date you receive it – not from the date it landed in our warehouse. We ship nationwide with tracking, and someone actually answers the phone if something goes wrong.
Under the Consumer Protection Act you have the right to return an unworn watch in its original packaging, and a manufacturing defect inside the warranty period is repaired or replaced at no cost to you.
Authenticity, Warranty and Delivery
Every Emporio Armani watch we list is sourced new and unworn through authorised distribution and arrives in its original presentation box with the manufacturer’s documentation. This reference carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty covering the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear to the finish and strap. Delivered anywhere in South Africa.
The green dial is the thing people will comment on. If that is the watch you are after, this is the reference to reach for.
