Three Roman numerals in rose gold, and the rest of the hour positions marked in crystals arranged to spell out the numerals they replace. Look at nine and you see IX cast in metal; look at eleven and you see the same shape drawn in small stones. It is a neat idea and it is the whole point of the dial. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 32mm round stainless steel case with a thin, deeply polished bezel. The bracelet meets the case at twelve and six through curved steel bridges rather than lugs, so the outline is unbroken and the watch sits low. Steel keeps it cool in tone against the warmth of the rose gold on the dial, which is the contrast the design is built on. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n White mother-of-pearl, real shell, with its own grain and a faint blue cast in some lights. Applied rose gold Roman numerals mark three, six and nine. The remaining hours are picked out in clear crystals set in the shape of numerals, and the eagle sits at twelve. Two rose gold hands and no seconds hand. Crystals catch light rather than hold contrast, so on an overcast day the numerals in stone are harder to pick out than the three in metal. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes. There is no date to reset and no winding routine. Set the time with the crown, and expect a battery change every couple of years. \n\n Bracelet and Fit \n A polished stainless steel bracelet in a fine seven-row weave, narrow and very flexible, sized by removing links. Bracelets built from many small links drape better on a small wrist than a three-row bracelet does, because each link is short enough to follow the curve. The trade is more joints to collect dust in. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants some sparkle on the dial but a plain metal bracelet holding it up. Steel and rose gold together also make the watch easier to wear with mixed jewellery than an all-gold piece would be. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Clean the bracelet with warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry it thoroughly, since water sits in a seven-row bracelet longer than you expect. Keep hairspray and perfume off both bracelet and case. The set crystals are held in place mechanically and should not be brushed hard. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Reference AR11204 \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Collection Gianni T-Bar \n Case diameter 32mm \n Case material Stainless steel \n Dial White mother-of-pearl \n Markers Rose gold tone Roman numerals with crystal set indexes \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Hours, minutes \n Bracelet Stainless steel \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n The movement carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty, excluding battery and normal wear. The watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, tracked to any address in South Africa, and can be returned unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. The twelve position carries no numeral at all, only the eagle, which is why the dial looks less crowded than the count of markers suggests.
