Emporio Armani Men’s 43mm Chronograph Watch (AR11507)

Take the standard Armani round chronograph, put a deep green dial in it, and leave everything else alone. That is what this is, and the restraint is the point: the case is plain polished steel with a slim bezel, the markers are plain steel batons, and the only thing carrying any character is the colour. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n 43mm across, with a very narrow bezel, so almost the whole face is dial. Watches built this way look larger than their measurement, which is worth knowing before you order. A wrist of 18cm and up carries it comfortably. The case sides are polished right through with no brushing, which keeps the whole watch bright and makes it more of a dress chronograph than a sports one. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n The green has a fine circular texture pressed into it, so the light breaks up across the surface instead of reflecting in one sheet. Applied steel batons mark the hours and slim steel hands run over them. Three registers sit inside: a 24-hour indicator up top, a minute counter on the left and running seconds below. The date is at four thirty in a white window. Steel on green is a moderate contrast, so this reads best in daylight. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz. The chronograph is driven by the pushers either side of the crown, upper to start and stop, lower to reset. Because the movement is battery-driven there is nothing to wind and no daily routine; if the watch is going to sit in a drawer for months, pulling the crown out will stop the hands and save the cell. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A three-link steel bracelet, brushed on the outers and polished in the centre, sized by removing links. On a polished watch this size, a properly fitted bracelet matters: too loose and the watch head rolls onto the side of the wrist where nobody can read it. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Anyone who wants one chronograph that covers both office and weekend, and who would rather have a colour than another black dial. Green sits well against navy and grey, which is most business clothing. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on this dial, so treat it as dry-wear. Polished steel shows fine scratches more readily than brushed, but they blend into the overall shine rather than standing out as lines. A soft cloth and, occasionally, a soft brush between the links is all it wants. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s round chronograph is the model the range is built around, and it appears in a long list of dial colours. Green is one of the more recent additions. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Model AR11507 \n Case diameter 43mm \n Case material Polished stainless steel \n Case shape Round \n Dial Green with circular texture, applied batons \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Chronograph, date \n Bracelet Stainless steel \n Gender Men’s \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n Backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
