\n A slim gold-tone dress watch built around a plain silver dial and nothing else. The Emporio Armani\nAR1877 keeps the case flat, the bezel narrow and the hands thin, so the whole watch sits close to the\nwrist and slips under a shirt cuff without catching. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case measures 32 mm across and is round, with a polished gold-tone finish that carries the\nlight across the bezel in one clean sweep. At 32 mm this is a small watch by current standards,\nwhich is the point: on a slender wrist it reads as jewellery rather than instrument, and it leaves room\nfor a bangle or a cuff alongside it. The crown is a small fluted push-piece at three o’clock. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is silver with a fine sunburst finish, so it shifts from bright white to soft grey as the\nwrist turns. Gold Roman numerals mark nine, three and six; slim gold batons fill the rest of the hour\npositions. There is no seconds hand and no date window, which leaves the centre of the dial empty and\nmakes the two gold hands very easy to pick out against the pale ground. Print is limited to the eagle\nlogo at twelve and the brand name below it. \n\n Movement and Functions \n A quartz movement drives the hands. That means the watch keeps time to within seconds a month, needs\nno winding, and asks nothing of you between battery changes. With no calendar and no sub-dials, setting\nit is a matter of pulling the crown, moving the hands and pushing it back. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet is gold-tone stainless steel in a seven-row link pattern, with a polished centre section\nand narrower outer rows. It tapers towards the clasp, which keeps the weight forward on the wrist and\nstops the watch sliding down the arm. Links can be removed by a watchmaker to size it properly; a\nbracelet that sits with about a finger’s slack is the right length. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Anyone who wants a gold watch that stays quiet. It works with office clothes, it works with a dress,\nand because there is no calendar it never needs correcting after a month with thirty days. If you prefer\na watch you can read at a glance across a room, look at something larger; this one is meant to be read\nat arm’s length. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water resistance is printed on this dial, so treat the watch as dry-wear only: take it off before\nwashing your hands, and keep it away from the shower and the pool. Wipe the bracelet with a soft dry\ncloth to lift skin oils out of the links, and store it away from perfume and hairspray, which dull a\nplated finish faster than anything else. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani is the diffusion line of the Milanese house, and its watches follow the same rules as\nthe clothing: restrained proportions, one idea per piece, no decoration for its own sake. The AR1877 is\na clear example of that thinking. \n Technical Specifications Reference AR1877 Brand Emporio Armani Case diameter 32 mm Case shape Round Case finish Gold-tone Dial Silver sunburst Hour markers Roman numerals and batons Movement Quartz Bracelet Gold-tone stainless steel EAN 4053858441569 Buying With Confidence Every watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, and carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.
