Emporio Armani Classic Men’s 46mm Chronograph Watch (AR1807)

White dial, black strap, polished steel – the clearest-reading combination there is, in the largest case in this family. The AR1807 is a 46mm chronograph that stays legible because everything printed on it is dark against a bright ground. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, 46mm, polished stainless steel, with a slim bezel, two pushers and a ridged crown. This is a big watch by any measure: it will reach past the flat of an average wrist and it will not go under a fitted shirt cuff. The white dial makes it look even wider, because a bright face reads larger than a dark one at the same diameter. On a broad wrist that is exactly the point. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n White, with three recessed sub-dials at twelve, three and six, each ringed and printed in black with fine graduations. Applied silver stick markers sit at the hours, the eagle logo above centre, and a small date aperture at four thirty. Black printing on white is the strongest contrast available on a dial, so the counters read properly rather than being decoration – you can actually use the elapsed-minute register on this one without lifting your wrist to the light. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz chronograph with date. The centre seconds hand times, the sub-dials collect elapsed minutes and hours and give a 24-hour reference, and the two pushers start, stop and return everything to zero. No winding and no service ritual beyond the battery. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Plain black leather, smooth-finished, stitched along both edges and tapering to the buckle. Black leather under a white dial is the highest-contrast pairing on the wrist, which is part of why the watch looks graphic rather than sporty. A wide case puts more leverage on a strap than a small one, so expect the first strap holes to form a crease early – move down a hole occasionally to spread the wear. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone with a wrist that carries 46mm and wants a chronograph that is easy to read at speed. It suits an open collar better than a suit, simply because it will not fit under the cuff. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Keep the leather dry. Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth; polished steel collects fingerprints constantly and releases them without effort. A white dial shows dust behind the crystal if the case is ever opened badly, so use a watchmaker for the battery. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Reference AR1807 \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Collection Classic \n Case diameter 46mm \n Case material Stainless steel, polished \n Case shape Round \n Dial colour White \n Markers Applied stick \n Movement Quartz chronograph \n Functions Chronograph, date \n Strap Black leather \n Gender Men’s \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
