Emporio Armani Men’s 46mm Chronograph Watch (AR1950)

\n Green dial, grey case, green striped strap. The AR1950 is the least conventional of Emporio Armani’s\nbig chronographs, and the gunmetal finish is what makes the colour work — a bright steel bezel would have\nturned the green into something much louder. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, 46 mm, in a matt gunmetal grey that stays flat in the light. The bezel is thin and the\ndial fills the case. Two knurled pushers and a matching crown sit at three, all in the same grey. This\nis a large watch and the low-sheen finish is the only thing keeping it discreet, so plan on a wrist\naround 18 cm. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Deep green with a radial brush, darkening towards the rim. Applied silver batons mark the hours, with\nlonger markers at the quarters and a fine printed minute track. Three sub-dials sit at nine, twelve and\nsix, and the date is cut in at four. Green is a difficult dial colour to read in low light because it\nloses contrast faster than black, but the polished silver markers and hands do enough work to keep the\ntime clear in daylight. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz chronograph with a date. Upper pusher starts and stops the stopwatch, lower resets it. The\ncentral hand sweeps seconds and the registers total the elapsed minutes and hours. The date advances at\nmidnight; short months need a manual correction. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Woven fabric in two shades of green, striped along the length, over a leather backing. The strap ties\nthe whole watch together — the same green as the dial, so the colour reads as intentional rather than\naccidental. Fabric holds its length instead of stretching, which means the fit does not creep over\nmonths the way a leather strap’s does. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who already has the black and blue chronographs and wants something with a colour of its own.\nGreen and gunmetal is a casual combination — it works with olive, denim and heavy cotton and it does not\npretend to be formal. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it dry; the fabric strap in particular takes a long\ntime to dry out once soaked. The gunmetal coating scratches to brighter metal underneath, so keep the\ncase clear of hard edges. A dry brush cleans the strap, and a soft cloth the case. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani produces this large chronograph in a long list of finishes, and the green-on-gunmetal\nversion is the one that turns up least often. The dial and the strap share a colour, which is unusual in\nthe range and is the main reason this reference stands apart. \n Technical Specifications Reference AR1950 Brand Emporio Armani Case diameter 46 mm Case shape Round Case finish Matt gunmetal Dial Green Hour markers Applied silver batons Movement Quartz chronograph Calendar Date at four o’clock Strap Green striped woven fabric EAN 723763240222 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.
