Blush leather, rose gold and a white shell dial: three warm, pale things in a row, with nothing dark anywhere on the watch except the printed wordmark. It is a deliberately soft piece, and the 32mm case keeps it modest rather than showy. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is 32mm across, round, and finished in rose gold tone over steel with a highly polished bezel. Instead of lugs the strap passes through slim rose gold brackets that sit above and below the case, so there is a small visible gap between the case and the leather. That detail lifts the watch off the wrist very slightly and makes the case look larger than its measurement. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n White mother-of-pearl, cut from real shell, so the surface carries a natural grain that shifts from cream to pale blue depending on the light. Three applied rose gold batons mark three, six and nine; twelve is left open for the eagle and the wordmark. Two rose gold hands and no seconds hand. Rose gold on pearl is a low-contrast pairing, so in poor light you will read the hands by their shape rather than by colour. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes. There is nothing to wind, nothing to reset and no date to correct at the end of a short month. A battery lasts a couple of years and is a five-minute job for a watchmaker. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A blush pink leather strap with a lightly grained surface and rose gold hardware. Pale leather shows marks that dark leather hides, so the strap will pick up a patina from cuffs and desk edges within a few months; some owners like that and some replace the strap when it happens. Leather also moulds to the wrist and becomes noticeably more comfortable after a fortnight of wear. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a dress watch that is not silver and not black. The pink and rose gold combination sits well against warm skin tones and reads as an accessory first and a timepiece second. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Keep the strap dry and out of direct sun, both of which fade pale leather quickly. Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth and keep perfume off it, since alcohol dulls plating. Store the watch away from anything abrasive; the polished bezel marks easily. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Reference AR11199 \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Collection Arianna \n Case diameter 32mm \n Case finish Rose gold tone \n Dial White mother-of-pearl \n Markers Applied rose gold tone sticks \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Hours, minutes \n Strap Blush pink leather \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n Covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
