Mother-of-pearl is never the same twice. The dial on this Emporio Armani is cut from shell, so the pale iridescence across it shifts between white, silver and the faintest pink depending on the angle, and no two of these watches have identical dials. Everything around it is kept plain steel so the dial has room to do that. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 32mm round stainless steel case, polished, with a bezel thin enough to be almost invisible from above. Thirty-two millimetres is a genuinely small watch by current standards; it sits neatly on a slim wrist and disappears under a sleeve. The case is thin in profile, which is part of why it wears as jewellery rather than as a timepiece with a job to do. \n Dial and Legibility \n Mother-of-pearl with printed Arabic numerals at twelve, three, six and nine and small dots at the remaining hours. The numerals are grey rather than black, which suits the dial but keeps contrast low. Slim polished hands run over the top. This is a dial you read in good light and squint at in poor light, which is the standing trade-off for shell dials. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes only. No date, no seconds hand cluttering the surface. Set the time and it looks after itself until the battery needs replacing. \n Bracelet and Fit \n A polished stainless steel bracelet made up of narrow multi-row links, which is what gives it the fluid, jewellery-like drape rather than the rigidity of a wide three-link band. It is sized by removing links. On a small watch the fit matters more than usual: sized correctly it sits still on the wrist, sized loose it slides down onto the hand. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a small dress watch that reads as jewellery. The mother-of-pearl gives it colour without adding a colour, so it works with both silver and white gold, and it is discreet enough for daily wear. \n Care and Maintenance \n Keep it dry and keep it away from perfume, which can dull a polished case and does no good to the bracelet joints. Wipe the bracelet with a soft cloth to lift the oils that collect between the narrow links. Have battery changes done professionally so the caseback is closed correctly. \n Technical Specifications \n Reference AR2507 Brand Emporio Armani Collection Classic Case diameter 32mm Case material Stainless steel Case shape Round Dial Mother-of-pearl Markers Arabic numerals and dots Movement Quartz Functions Time only Bracelet Stainless steel Gender Women’s EAN 4053858698246 \n Buying With Confidence \n The movement carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty, excluding the battery and normal wear.
