A rose gold-tone case on a silver mesh bracelet, with a mother-of-pearl dial between them. Mixing the metals like this is the point – the warm case lifts the pearl, and the cool mesh keeps the watch from tipping into anything too sweet. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Thirty-two millimetres, round, rose gold tone, with a bezel thin enough to leave the dial almost edge to edge. The lugs are short bars that clamp the mesh close to the case, so there is very little gap between watch and wrist. It is a flat, light watch that sits still and does not catch on a sleeve. \n Dial and Legibility \n Mother-of-pearl, with the natural grain of the shell running diagonally across the face – it reads white from straight on and picks up green and pink at an angle. Rose gold Roman numerals sit at nine and six, with slim applied batons at the other hours and the eagle logo under twelve. Two fine hands, no seconds hand. It is a quiet dial; in a dim room the rose gold on pearl takes a moment to resolve, which is the trade you make for the material. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, battery-driven, hours and minutes only. Nothing on the dial to set beyond the time, and nothing to wind. \n Bracelet and Fit \n A fine Milanese-style steel mesh, woven rather than linked, so it drapes over the wrist instead of sitting in segments. Mesh is the most comfortable metal bracelet in hot weather because it flexes and lets air through, and it does not pinch skin the way a link bracelet can. It is also the easiest to snag on knitwear, so be careful pulling a jumper over it. Length is adjusted at the clasp rather than by removing links. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wears mixed metals and wants a light watch for everyday. It dresses up for an evening without changing anything. \n Care and Maintenance \n Mesh traps dust and skin oil in the weave – rinse it in clean water now and then and dry it fully. Keep mother-of-pearl away from moisture and knocks; it is a natural material and it chips rather than scratches. Do not use polishing compounds on the rose gold case. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Emporio Armani Collection Mesh Retro Reference AR2067 Case diameter 32mm Case finish Rose gold tone Dial Mother-of-pearl, Roman numerals Movement Quartz Bracelet Stainless steel mesh \n Buying With Confidence \n Ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
