Emporio Armani Men’s 43mm Watch (AR2506)

The bezel is rose gold, the case body behind it is steel, and the dial is a deep blue with rose gold markers. That three-way split is what makes the AR2506 interesting: from the front it looks like a gold watch, from the side it does not, and the effect changes depending on how you are holding your arm. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 43mm round case in a two-tone treatment, rose gold on the bezel and crown against a steel middle. It is a full-size watch with a very narrow bezel, so nearly all of the front is dial. The lugs curve down and are steel-finished, which is why the watch looks less gold on the wrist than it does head-on in a photograph. \n Dial and Legibility \n Blue with a sunray brush radiating from the centre and a slightly darker outer ring, which frames the dial without adding a printed track. Applied rose gold stick markers sit at the hours, with matching rose gold hands. Rose gold on blue is a warmer, softer contrast than silver on blue, and legibility is good in daylight and average in dim rooms. A framed date window sits at six. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz with a date at six. Battery driven, requiring nothing but a correction after a short month and a new cell every couple of years. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Navy leather, smooth-finished, with visible stitching along both edges in a matching thread. The strap is the same tone as the dial, so the eye runs from strap to dial without a break. Smooth leather like this will crease across the bend within a few weeks; that crease is where it will eventually crack if the strap gets wet regularly, so keep it dry and it will last years. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants warmth in a watch without a full gold case. Two-tone is more flexible than it looks: the rose gold bezel picks up a tan belt or brown shoes, while the steel body keeps it from clashing with a silver ring or cufflinks. \n Care and Maintenance \n The rose gold elements are plated, so no abrasives and no polishing compound. A dry soft cloth is all the case needs. Keep perfume off the strap and the case, and let the leather air out between wears rather than storing it buckled shut. \n Technical Specifications \n Reference AR2506 Brand Emporio Armani Case diameter 43mm Case colour Two-tone rose gold and steel Case shape Round Dial colour Blue sunray Markers Applied rose gold sticks Movement Quartz Functions Date Strap Navy leather Gender Men’s EAN 4053858700888 \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, with the battery and normal wear excluded. Ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, nationwide with tracking, and the Consumer Protection Act gives you a right of return on an unworn watch in its original packaging. The eagle logo below twelve is applied in rose gold rather than printed, which is why it stands slightly off the dial surface.
