Emporio Armani Men’s 32mm Watch (AR11151)

Warm all the way through: a gold-tone case, a taupe mother-of-pearl dial and a tan leather strap with a lizard-pattern emboss. The shell here is a soft mushroom brown rather than white, which is what pulls the three elements together instead of leaving the strap looking bolted on. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n A single piece of taupe shell with the natural cloudy figuring left visible – it goes lighter toward the centre and darker at the rim, and shifts slightly green when you tilt it. Twelve crystals mark the hours, and a printed minute track runs inside them rather than around the outer edge, which keeps the rim clean. The eagle logo sits at twelve and the wordmark just below. Two long gold hands, no seconds hand, no date. Gold hands on a taupe dial is a low-contrast pairing, so this is a watch to glance at rather than read to the minute. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 32mm round case in polished gold-tone, thin through the profile, with a very narrow bezel and short lug posts. Almost the whole diameter is dial, which makes it look larger than 32mm on the wrist. The crown at three is a small fluted cylinder. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, time only. Nothing to wind and no date to correct. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Tan leather with a fine lizard-pattern emboss – a dense scale texture pressed into the hide rather than cut from a skin, which means it holds its pattern and will not lift at the edges. Tan sits in the middle of the range for showing marks: better than cream, worse than black. It softens quickly and takes the shape of the wrist within a couple of weeks, at which point the watch stops sliding round. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone building a warm, tonal look who wants a little sparkle at the hour markers without a stone-set case. It sits naturally with gold jewellery and against camel, cream and olive. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Keep the strap dry; embossed leather traps water in the grain and stiffens once it has been soaked. Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth. Gold-tone plating is thin – put the watch on after perfume and hairspray, and never clean it with an abrasive cloth. A soft brush lifts cream and dust from around the crystal settings. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Model AR11151 \n Case diameter 32mm \n Case shape Round \n Case colour Gold-tone \n Dial Taupe mother-of-pearl with crystal markers \n Movement Quartz \n Strap Tan leather, lizard emboss \n EAN 4053858930292 \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
