Emporio Armani Men’s Chronograph Watch (AR2504)

An all-rose-gold chronograph, case and bracelet together, with a brown dial that keeps the whole watch inside one warm colour family. The dial is pressed with a chevron weave which, against a brown ground, reads more like fabric than metal. It is an unapologetically decorative watch and it does not pretend otherwise. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, rose gold-toned, with a slim bezel and two pushers set either side of the crown at three. The finish is even across case, pushers, crown and bracelet, which is what makes the watch read as a single object rather than a case attached to a band. A full rose gold bracelet carries weight and light in equal measure, so this is a watch people notice. \n Dial and Legibility \n Brown, textured, with a printed inner ring separating the dial proper from the outer minute scale. The chronograph registers sit at nine for elapsed minutes to 30, at three for a 24-hour indication, and at six for running seconds. The date is set in just past four in a white window. Markers and hands are rose gold and close in tone to the dial, so like most tonal watches, this one asks for light before it gives up the time. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz chronograph. Upper pusher starts and stops, lower pusher resets to zero. Running seconds at six show the movement is alive when the stopwatch is not in use. The date advances automatically and is corrected from the crown. \n Bracelet and Fit \n A rose gold-toned stainless steel bracelet with wide flat links, matching the case exactly. It is sized by removing links. Take the time to get this right, because a plated bracelet worn too loose rubs against itself and against desk edges, and plating wears thinnest at the points of contact. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a statement watch rather than a discreet one. Rose gold on rose gold is a deliberate choice; it works with brown and cream, and it will always be the first thing anyone notices about the outfit. \n Care and Maintenance \n Treat the finish as a coating, because it is. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and never with an abrasive one. Keep perfume, aftershave and chlorine well away, since all three attack plating faster than anything else. Zero the chronograph when you are not timing to spare the battery. \n Technical Specifications \n Reference AR2504 Brand Emporio Armani Case colour Rose gold tone Case shape Round Dial colour Brown, chevron texture Markers Applied sticks Movement Quartz Functions Chronograph, date Bracelet Rose gold-toned stainless steel Gender Men’s \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear. The watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, delivered nationwide with tracking, and the Consumer Protection Act gives you a right of return on an unworn watch in its original packaging. The chevron pattern is set at a slight angle to the vertical, which is why the dial never looks quite symmetrical from directly above.
