Emporio Armani Meccanico Men’s 43mm Watch (AR2072)

A red seconds hand on a white skeleton dial. That single stroke of colour is what separates this Meccanico from the rest of the family – it sweeps across the open centre and gives your eye something to follow through all the gearing. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Stainless steel, polished, 43mm, with a thin bezel and lugs that curve down toward the strap. The case is restrained – no pushers, no bezel markings, nothing to compete with what is happening on the dial. It wears wide and flat, best on a wrist of about 18cm and up, and the polished steel keeps it looking dressy rather than technical. \n Dial and Legibility \n White spokes cross the open centre in a wheel pattern, carrying applied polished batons at the hours, with a printed minute track on the outer flange. Between the spokes the movement is fully exposed – bridges, wheels, screws, and the balance turning below the middle. The Meccanico signature is printed on the lower spoke. Silver hands over silver machinery would be hard to follow, which is exactly why the seconds hand is red; it is the most legible thing on the dial. \n Movement and Functions \n Open-worked, with the mechanism visible from the front across most of the dial’s diameter. Hours, minutes and centre seconds. No date, no counters – the skeleton layout would have no room for them. \n Strap and Fit \n Black leather with a crocodile-pattern emboss and steel keepers. Black under a white dial is a hard contrast that suits the graphic look of the skeleton work. Embossed leather is stiff at first and holds its shape better than smooth calf as it softens. Keep it out of water – a soaked strap dries hard and the emboss flattens where it has creased. Replacing it later is a simple job. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a conversation piece they can still wear to work. The steel case and black strap are conservative; the dial is not. \n Care and Maintenance \n Open dials show dust and moisture, so keep it away from showers and pools. Clean the crystal with microfibre. Set the time gently and push the crown fully home afterwards. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Emporio Armani Collection Meccanico Reference AR2072 Case diameter 43mm Case material Stainless steel Dial White skeleton, applied batons, red seconds hand Strap Black croc-embossed leather Case shape Round \n Buying With Confidence \n Ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
