Emporio Armani Men’s 43mm Chronograph Watch (AR5860)

All steel, with a blue dial in the middle. The AR5860 keeps its minute scale on the dial rather than on a bezel, so the front reads as one wide circle of blue graded from a lighter centre to a darker rim, with the numerals printed straight onto it. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 43mm round stainless steel case, mostly brushed with polished edges, with two pushers either side of a fluted crown at three. The case sides are straight and the lugs short, which is what gives this design its slab-sided, substantial look. Together with the bracelet it is a heavy watch, and it sits best on a wrist of 18cm or more. \n Dial and Legibility \n Blue, with a slightly darker ring around the outside carrying five-minute numerals. Sub-dials at nine, three and six handle elapsed minutes to 30, a 24-hour reading and running seconds. The date is set in just past four in a white window. The hands are long and white-filled, which gives them proper contrast against mid-blue, and the applied markers are silver. This is one of the easier chronographs in the range to read at speed. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz chronograph. Top pusher starts and stops, bottom pusher resets. The central sweep hand counts chronograph seconds against the printed scale, and the counter at nine accumulates minutes up to half an hour. \n Bracelet and Fit \n A wide stainless steel bracelet with flat brushed links and polished edges, sized by removing links. Get it fitted properly: a heavy chronograph on a loose bracelet swings when you drop your arm, and repeated swinging is what loosens link pins and scratches the case sides. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a single robust chronograph in steel and does not want to think about matching a strap to anything. Blue and steel is about as broadly wearable as a sports chronograph gets. \n Care and Maintenance \n Wipe the bracelet weekly with a dry cloth; the flat links trap sweat and lotion. Keep it away from chlorinated water. Zero the chronograph after use, and when the battery is changed, ask for the caseback gasket to be inspected while the watch is open. \n Technical Specifications \n Reference AR5860 Brand Emporio Armani Case diameter 43mm Case material Stainless steel Case shape Round Dial colour Blue sunray Markers Applied sticks Movement Quartz Functions Chronograph, date Bracelet Stainless steel Gender Men’s EAN 4048803664568 \n Buying With Confidence \n Backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.

The 30 at the bottom of the dial is printed larger than the other numerals, which is a small piece of typographic balance against the eagle at the top.
