A rectangle with its corners cut off, standing taller than it is wide, on a pale pink strap. Almost nothing in the current watch market looks like this, which is the reason to buy it. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case measures 24mm across and is stainless steel, polished on every surface, with each of the four corners chamfered so the outline has eight sides rather than four. It reads as a small vertical panel on the wrist rather than a dial. Because it is narrow and tall, it takes up very little width, which is what makes it comfortable on a slim wrist where a round 32mm case would look oversized. The crown is a faceted stub at three o’clock. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n White, printed with narrow vertical pinstripes in pink and grey that run the full height of the dial. Two applied silver batons mark three and nine and a third sits at six; twelve is left to the eagle and the wordmark. Two silver hands, no seconds. The stripes are the same weight as the hands, so at a glance the dial can read as busier than it is; you learn to find the hands by their length rather than by contrast. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes. Battery powered, nothing to wind, no date to correct. Pull the crown, set the time, push it home. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A pale pink leather strap, smooth-grained, narrow to suit the case. Pale leather marks more visibly than dark leather and will pick up the shadow of a cuff over a few months. Leather also softens quickly on a small wrist, where there is less strap in contact and the bending happens in a shorter section, so expect it to be comfortable within a week. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone with a slim wrist who is tired of small round watches. The vertical case is a genuinely different shape and it sits well against a shirt cuff or a bare arm. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Keep the strap out of water and out of the sun; pink leather fades faster than most colours. Wipe the polished case with a soft cloth. Polished steel on a small case shows scratches easily, so store it separately from other jewellery rather than loose in a bag. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Reference AR11207 \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Collection Gioia \n Case width 24mm \n Case shape Rectangular with cut corners \n Case material Stainless steel \n Dial colour White with pinstripes \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Hours, minutes \n Strap Pink leather \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.

The bezel is stepped inwards twice before it reaches the dial, which is why the case looks thicker in profile than the dial opening suggests.
