Emporio Armani Men’s 43mm Watch (AR11131)

A rose gold-tone case on a navy strap, with a red seconds hand doing all the work of making it interesting. The dial is silver-white and built in concentric rings – a raised outer chapter for the markers, a stepped middle, and a brushed centre – so it has real depth for a three-hand watch. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 43mm case is round with a high polish across the whole of it, including the flanks and the faceted lugs. Polished rose gold on a case this size makes a statement; there is no brushed surface anywhere to calm it down. The crown at three is a fluted rose gold cylinder, easy to grip. Lug tips curve down hard, which helps a broad case sit properly on a mid-size wrist. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Silver-white, stepped in rings, with applied rose gold batons at every hour standing on the raised outer chapter. Two rose gold hands and a thin red central seconds hand. The date sits in a small window between three and four. Rose gold markers on a bright silver dial are the softest contrast pairing on this watch, so it is the red hand you notice first and the markers you find second – a look built for the dial’s texture rather than for instant legibility. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz with a date. Three hands, one window, nothing that needs winding. The date wants correcting after a thirty-day month; otherwise it looks after itself. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Navy leather with a crocodile-pattern emboss, lined in bright red so a flash of colour shows along the underside and at the strap holes. Embossed leather keeps its pattern rather than developing patina, and navy is one of the colours most likely to fade in strong sun, so keep it out of a car windscreen. It will soften and take a set at your wrist size within a few weeks. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a dressy three-hander that is not silver-and-black. Rose gold with navy is a smarter, warmer combination than steel, and at 43mm it wears large enough to be seen under a rolled sleeve. It is not a discreet watch. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Rose gold-tone plating dulls with perfume, aftershave and abrasive cloths, and it wears at the lug tips where a strap rubs. Clean it with a soft dry cloth only. Keep the leather dry – it is not built for swimming or a rainstorm – and let it air rather than drying it on a heater, which cracks the fibres. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Model AR11131 \n Gender Men’s \n Case diameter 43mm \n Case shape Round \n Case colour Rose gold-tone \n Dial colour Silver \n Dial markers Applied batons \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Date \n Strap Blue leather, croc emboss \n EAN 4051432353833 \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
