Emporio Armani Renato Men’s 43mm Watch (AR11137)

Navy dial, steel case, rose gold markers. The Renato keeps the case and bracelet completely plain and puts all the interest on the dial – a deep blue face cut with fine horizontal ribbing, with applied rose gold batons that pick up light against it. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n The blue is dark enough to read as near-black indoors and clearly navy in daylight. Horizontal ribbing runs across the whole face, catching light in fine lines. Applied rose gold batons mark every hour, doubled at twelve, with a printed minute track around the edge that alternates white and red strokes – the red ones landing on the five-minute divisions. Below the centre sits a drawn circle with the eagle logo inside it; it looks like a running seconds sub-dial but nothing turns in it. Rose gold on navy is a genuinely strong contrast pairing, and this is one of the easier dials in the range to read at a glance. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 43mm round case in polished stainless steel, with a very thin bezel so almost all of the diameter is dial. Short lugs turn down onto the bracelet. Steel keeps the watch weighty and honest; it takes knocks better than any coated finish and small scratches can be blended out. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, time only. No date window, so the dial stays symmetrical, and nothing to correct at the end of a short month. \n\n Bracelet and Fit \n A three-row stainless steel bracelet with brushed outer rows and polished centre links. The brushing on the outside is doing useful work – it hides the day-to-day scratching that a fully polished bracelet would show within a week. Solid links give it weight, which keeps a 43mm case centred on the wrist instead of sliding. Sizing is by link removal, and it is worth doing properly. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a steel watch that is not another black-dial one. Navy and rose gold reads dressier than steel and black but still goes with denim, and there is no date window or chronograph clutter to date the design. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Steel is easy: a damp cloth lifts skin oils, a soft brush clears grit from the links, and the watch should be dried afterwards. The rose gold on this watch is only on the dial markers, under the crystal, so there is no plating on the bracelet to wear through. Keep the crown pushed home. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Collection Renato \n Model AR11137 \n Gender Men’s \n Case diameter 43mm \n Case material Stainless steel \n Dial colour Navy blue \n Dial markers Applied batons \n Movement Quartz \n Bracelet Stainless steel \n EAN 4051432327896 \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n The movement is covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty, excluding battery and normal wear.
