Black mother-of-pearl behind a rose gold-tone case is a darker, quieter version of the Gianni T-Bar. The shell reads charcoal from straight on and shifts to deep green and bronze at an angle, which is what black mother-of-pearl does and why it is worth the extra look. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n A single uncut piece of dark shell, not the tiled pattern used elsewhere in this family, so the colour moves in broad clouds rather than in blocks. Rose gold Roman numerals sit at three, six and nine, with slim rose gold batons at the other hours. The eagle logo is at twelve above the wordmark, printed in white so it stays visible against the dark ground. Two fine rose gold hands and nothing else – no date, no seconds hand. Rose gold on dark shell gives a genuinely good contrast, better than the white-dial versions of the same watch. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n Thirty-two millimetres, round, in polished rose gold-tone, with a narrow bezel and short lugs. It is thin through the profile and small on the wrist – a proper dress watch rather than a fashion-sized one. The crown at three is a small fluted cylinder set with a dark cabochon. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, time only. Set it and leave it; the battery is all that eventually needs replacing. \n\n Bracelet and Fit \n A five-row rose gold-tone bracelet with flat, closely spaced links that drape well across a narrow wrist. It matches the case finish exactly. Bracelets like this are sized by removing links, and a small watch benefits more than most from an accurate fit – there is not enough weight here to stop a loose one turning face-down. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a dressy rose gold watch but finds white or pearl dials too soft. The dark face makes it read as evening wear, and it sits comfortably alongside rose gold rings and bangles. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Rose gold plating wears at the clasp and the underside of the links first, so take the watch off before exercise and put it on after perfume and hairspray. A dry microfibre cloth restores the shine; polishing compound will strip the plating. Black mother-of-pearl is natural shell and no two dials carry the same pattern. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Collection Gianni T-Bar \n Model AR11145 \n Gender Women’s \n Case diameter 32mm \n Case shape Round \n Case colour Rose gold-tone \n Dial Black mother-of-pearl, Roman numerals \n Movement Quartz \n Bracelet Rose gold-tone stainless steel \n EAN 4053858930278 \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
