Emporio Armani Sportivo Men’s 43mm Chronograph Watch (AR5919)

White and rose gold is the brightest combination in this range, and the AR5919 makes no attempt to tone it down. The dial is a clean white, the case and all the dial printing are rose gold, and the bracelet is white silicone over steel links. It is a watch built to be seen. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 43mm round case in a polished rose gold finish, with matching pushers and a fluted crown at three. At this diameter with a light-coloured bracelet, the watch looks larger than the measurement suggests, because pale objects read bigger than dark ones. It needs a wrist of about 18cm to carry it properly. \n Dial and Legibility \n White with a fine outer ring carrying five-minute numerals in rose gold, and three sub-dials at nine, three and six for elapsed minutes, 24 hours and running seconds. A date window sits between four and five. Rose gold hands on a white dial are legible in daylight but wash out under strong overhead light, which is the standing weakness of gold-on-white dials; the sub-dial rings are outlined in gold to give the eye something to fix on. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz chronograph. The upper pusher starts and stops the timer, the lower resets it to zero. The counter at nine collects elapsed minutes while the central hand sweeps seconds against the outer scale. \n Bracelet and Fit \n Steel links faced with white silicone across the centre, so the rose gold shows at the edges of every link. White rubber is the one thing on this watch that needs regular attention, because it picks up marks from denim, ink and dirt far more readily than a dark strap would. A damp cloth and a little mild soap clears most of it if you do not leave it. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a summer watch. It works with light clothing and looks deliberately out of place with a dark suit, which is the point of it. \n Care and Maintenance \n Clean the white silicone often rather than occasionally; marks left to sit become permanent. The rose gold case is plated, so use a dry soft cloth only and keep perfume and sunscreen off it. Zero the chronograph after use. \n Technical Specifications \n Reference AR5919 Brand Emporio Armani Collection Sportivo Case diameter 43mm Case colour Rose gold tone Case shape Round Dial colour White Markers Sticks with printed five-minute numerals Movement Quartz Functions Chronograph, date Bracelet Steel with white silicone overlay Gender Men’s EAN 4051432081866 \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.
