Emporio Armani Men’s 46mm Chronograph Watch (AR1969)

\n Blue dial, blue strap, brushed steel case. The AR1969 runs one colour through the whole watch and lets\nthe case stay neutral, which is a simpler idea than most 46 mm chronographs manage. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, 46 mm, stainless steel with a brushed finish across the bezel and the case top. Brushing\ntakes the glare off a case this size and gives it a matte, slightly grey look next to a polished watch.\nTwo pushers and a large knurled crown sit at three. The lugs are short and turn down, but at 46 mm\nthis still needs a wrist of roughly 18 cm. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Deep blue with a soft radial finish that darkens towards the edge. Applied silver batons mark the\nhours, longer at the quarters, over a printed minute track. Three sub-dials sit at nine, twelve and six\nin fine white print, and the date is cut in at four. The steel hands are broad enough to carry over the\nsub-dials without getting lost, and blue holds contrast in low light better than green or grey do. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz chronograph with a date. Start and stop with the top pusher, reset with the bottom one. The\nsweep hand times seconds while the registers add up minutes and hours. Push the date on by hand after a\nmonth with fewer than thirty-one days. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Blue leather, smooth and matte, with contrast stitching at the lug ends and a full-width cut. Blue\nleather is less common than black or brown and it is the reason this watch looks different on the wrist\nfrom the rest of the family. It will darken at the fold within a couple of months. Keep it dry — blue\ndye shows water rings clearly once it has been soaked. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants size and colour but not shine. The brushed case keeps it from being showy and the\nblue-on-blue is coherent rather than loud. It is a casual watch — the strap alone puts it outside\nformal territory. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it away from taps and rain. A brushed case hides\nlight scratches far better than a polished one, which is a real advantage on a watch this large. Do not\nleave the chronograph running when you are not timing something; it costs battery life directly. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s largest chronograph case appears in polished steel, black, gunmetal and this brushed\nfinish. Brushed steel with a blue dial is the most understated combination the case comes in. \n Technical Specifications Reference AR1969 Brand Emporio Armani Case diameter 46 mm Case material Stainless steel Case finish Brushed Case shape Round Dial Blue Hour markers Applied silver batons Movement Quartz chronograph Calendar Date at four o’clock Strap Blue leather EAN 4053858672772 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.
