Emporio Armani Renato Men’s 43mm Watch (AR2514)

Rose gold markers on a black dial in a steel case is a specific choice, and it changes the whole character of the Renato. The warm markers stop the watch reading as cold monochrome, but because the case and bracelet stay steel, it never tips into looking like a gold watch either. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Stainless steel, 43mm, round and polished, with a bezel narrow enough that the dial dominates. The lugs are curved and drop away early, which keeps the lug-to-lug span sensible for a wide watch. With the bracelet fitted it has genuine weight on the wrist. Below about 17.5cm of wrist the bracelet end links start to sit past the edge. \n Dial and Legibility \n Black with a sunray brush that lightens the centre and deepens towards the rim, so the dial is not one flat tone. Applied rose gold stick markers ring the hours and the hands match them. Against black, rose gold reads clearly without the harshness of polished silver. The date sits in a framed window at six, and a fine printed track runs around the outside. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz with a date. Battery driven, no winding required. The date is corrected from the crown’s first click position, and it will need a nudge at the end of any month shorter than 31 days. \n Bracelet and Fit \n A stainless steel bracelet with brushed outer links and polished centres, tapering slightly towards the clasp. Sizing means removing links, and it is worth doing properly. A watch of this weight worn loose swings on the wrist, and the constant movement wears the link pins faster than anything else will. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who owns a steel watch already and wants the second one to have a bit of warmth in it. The rose gold detailing works particularly well with a tan belt or brown shoes while the steel bracelet keeps it usable with anything. \n Care and Maintenance \n Wipe the bracelet weekly to lift skin oils from between the links. Keep it out of chlorinated water. The rose gold on the dial is under the crystal and needs no care at all; the case does, and a jeweller’s cloth on the polished surfaces every few months keeps it looking sharp. \n Technical Specifications \n Reference AR2514 Brand Emporio Armani Collection Renato Case diameter 43mm Case material Stainless steel Case shape Round Dial colour Black sunray Markers Applied rose gold sticks Movement Quartz Functions Date Bracelet Stainless steel Gender Men’s EAN 4053858759596 \n Buying With Confidence \n The movement is covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty, excluding the battery and normal wear.
