Emporio Armani Men’s 43mm Chronograph Watch (AR1936)

\n Rose gold case, white dial, dark brown strap: the AR1936 is the warm reading of Emporio Armani’s\ntwo-register chronograph, and the restraint of the dial is what keeps the finish from tipping into\nflashy. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, 43 mm, in polished rose gold tone with a thin bezel and flat case sides. The pushers and\ncrown are the same colour as the case, so the profile stays uninterrupted from the side. A large watch,\nbut a shallow one — it does not stand tall off the wrist. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Flat white, with applied rose gold batons at each hour and a printed minute track around the rim.\nTwo sub-dials sit at twelve and six, and the date is cut in at four. There are no numerals anywhere on\nthe dial, which is why a chronograph with this much going on still looks orderly. The hands are rose\ngold and narrow; against a white ground they read by outline rather than by contrast, so give the watch\ndecent light. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz chronograph with a date. The upper pusher starts and stops the timing, the lower one resets\nit, and the two registers add up the elapsed minutes and hours while the central hand sweeps seconds.\nPush the date on by hand after a month with fewer than thirty-one days. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Dark brown leather with a smooth, matte finish and no grain pressed into it, stitched close to the\nedge. Plain leather like this shows its age honestly — it will polish at the fold and darken where it\nmeets the case — and it pairs with rose gold more comfortably than black does. Expect a fortnight before\nit stops pushing back at the lugs. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Somebody who wants a chronograph that leans dressy. The white dial and rose gold case go with brown\nshoes and a jacket rather than with a T-shirt, and the two-register layout means it never looks like a\ndiving instrument. Comfortable from about 17 cm of wrist upwards. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it dry — the leather will suffer before the watch\ndoes. Rose gold plating thins at the lug tips and the case back edge over years of wear, so avoid\nresting the watch hard on desks. Wipe the case with a dry soft cloth. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s chronographs share one case and one dial architecture across the range, with the\nfinish and strap doing the differentiating. This is the version where the rose gold has a white dial to\nsit against rather than a black one, and it is much the quieter of the two. \n Technical Specifications Reference AR1936 Brand Emporio Armani Case diameter 43 mm Case shape Round Case finish Rose gold-tone Dial White Hour markers Applied rose gold batons Movement Quartz chronograph Calendar Date at four o’clock Strap Dark brown leather EAN 4053858628281 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.
