Emporio Armani Men’s 43mm Chronograph Watch (AR11586)

Green dial, gold-tone rotating bezel, two-tone bracelet. It is a dive-styled chronograph dressed up rather than down, and the reason it holds together is that the green is dark enough to anchor all that gold instead of competing with it. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is 43mm in stainless steel with a gold-tone coin-edge bezel that turns. That combination of a real functional bezel with a dress metal treatment is unusual, and it means the watch works with a shirt but is not out of place at the coast. It wants a wrist of around 18cm and up. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Applied gold-tone batons on a dark green dial, with a printed minute track around the outside. Three registers sit inside the dial covering a minute counter, a 24-hour indicator and running seconds, and the date is at four thirty. The dial prints 100 METERS beneath the brand name. The bezel is marked to sixty in black on gold, with the numerals at every ten, so elapsed time can be tracked from the bezel rather than the chronograph if you prefer. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, chronograph on two pushers. The 100 METERS marking is a 10 ATM rating: swimming, showering and rain are all within it, scuba diving is not. Do not touch the pushers or the crown while the watch is wet, since that is the one action that will let water past the seals. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A two-tone bracelet with brushed steel outer links and polished gold-tone centres, closing on a fold-over clasp with a safety catch. A folding clasp means the bracelet stays a closed loop when you open it, so the watch cannot drop off the wrist while you are putting it on. Sizing is done by removing links from the bracelet. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Somebody who wants one watch for holidays and the office. The water rating covers the swimming, the two-tone covers the rest, and 43mm is large enough to read at a glance without being a slab. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Rinse in fresh water after the sea and dry the bracelet properly, particularly the clasp, where salt collects. Gold plating wears through at the clasp edge first because that is where the metal takes most of the friction. Use a soft brush, never an abrasive cloth or a metal polish. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s dive-styled chronographs run across several metal treatments, and this two-tone version is the dressiest of them. The eagle is applied above twelve. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Model AR11586 \n Case diameter 43mm \n Case material Stainless steel with gold-tone rotating bezel \n Case shape Round \n Dial Green with applied gold-tone batons \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Chronograph, date \n Water resistance 10 ATM (100 metres) \n Bracelet Two-tone gold and steel, folding clasp \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.
