Emporio Armani Meccanico Men’s 43mm Watch (AR1945)

\n The AR1945 is one of the Meccanico watches — the small part of the Emporio Armani range that runs a\nmechanical movement and then cuts the dial away so you can watch it work. Steel case, steel bracelet,\nwhite dial, and a large circular opening through the middle. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, 43 mm, polished stainless steel with a thin bezel and a slim case profile. There are no\npushers and nothing on the flanks apart from a fluted crown at three, so the outline stays simple and\nthe dial does the talking. A flat case of this diameter slides under a cuff more easily than the numbers\nsuggest. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n The outer dial is white with a fine vertical texture, carrying applied silver batons at every hour\nand a printed minute track at the edge. Inside that, the dial opens onto the movement: bridges, wheels,\njewelled bearings and a balance, all visible and all moving. The hands are slim blued steel, which is\nthe detail that makes the watch — blue over white and grey is easy to follow even with the mechanism\nturning behind it. The eagle sits at twelve and Meccanico is printed low on the dial. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Mechanical. There is no battery and no quartz second-jump; the seconds hand moves in the smooth sweep\nthat only a mechanical movement gives. There is no date and no stopwatch. A mechanical watch keeps\nlooser time than quartz — think seconds a day rather than seconds a month — and it will stop if it is\nleft unworn, which is normal rather than a fault. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A polished stainless steel bracelet, seven rows across, with small links that keep it flexible around\nthe wrist. It tapers slightly to the clasp. Sizing is done by removing links; leave enough movement that\nthe watch can shift a centimetre when you flex your hand, which is more comfortable and easier on the\nlugs. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Somebody who likes mechanical watches and wants one that shows its hand without costing what a\nskeleton usually costs. It is a watch you look at more often than you need to check the time. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it dry. Mechanical movements dislike hard knocks and\nstrong magnets — keep the watch away from speakers, laptop lids and induction hobs. If it stops, wind it\nthrough the crown; if it starts running badly, a watchmaker can regulate it. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani launched the Meccanico line to put a visible mechanism into a fashion-house catalogue\nthat is otherwise almost entirely quartz. This steel version is the plainest of them, and the blued\nhands are the only colour on the whole watch. \n Technical Specifications Reference AR1945 Brand Emporio Armani Collection Meccanico Case diameter 43 mm Case material Stainless steel Case shape Round Dial White with open centre Hour markers Applied silver batons Hands Blued steel Movement Mechanical, visible through the dial Bracelet Stainless steel EAN 4053858628359 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.
