Emporio Armani Women’s 22mm Watch (AR1961)

\n At 22 mm the AR1961 is closer to a bracelet than to a wristwatch, and it is built that way — a\nnarrow steel band running into a small round case with a pale mother-of-pearl dial set into it. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n Stainless steel, round, 22 mm across, polished. The bezel is a thin ring and the lugs barely\nproject, so the case takes up almost no length on the wrist. The crown at three is capped with a pale\nblue stone — a small piece of colour that is the only decoration on the outside of the watch. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Mother-of-pearl with a cool, faintly blue cast, showing the natural banding of the shell as the light\nmoves. Small clear crystals stand at the hour positions; there are no numerals. The eagle logo sits at\ntwelve. Two slim steel hands, no seconds hand and no date. On a dial this small the crystals are more\nabout catching light than marking hours, so read the time from the hands. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, time only. Battery driven, accurate, and free of anything to reset. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A narrow polished stainless steel bracelet with small links in a seven-row pattern. Because the links\nare tiny the bracelet is very supple — it drapes over the wrist rather than sitting rigid on it, which is\nwhat a watch this size needs. Links come out to size it; slightly loose is more comfortable than tight,\nand it lets the case sit where it wants to. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone buying a piece of wrist jewellery that also tells the time. It layers with bangles and thin\nbracelets and it disappears entirely under a cuff. If you want to check the time at a glance from across\na desk, this is not the watch for that. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it dry. Mother-of-pearl is shell and it will chip if\nthe crystal is struck hard. Polished steel picks up hairline scratches on the bracelet — a soft dry cloth\ntakes off the marks that are only skin oil. Have the battery changed by a watchmaker; the case back on a\n22 mm watch is easy to damage with the wrong tool. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s smallest ladies’ watches use the same dial ideas as the 32 mm models, shrunk\nuntil only the essentials survive. Here that means shell, crystals and two hands, with the blue crown\nstone as the single flourish. \n Technical Specifications Reference AR1961 Brand Emporio Armani Case diameter 22 mm Case material Stainless steel Case shape Round Dial Mother-of-pearl Hour markers Crystal set Movement Quartz Bracelet Stainless steel EAN 4053858628434 Buying With Confidence Every watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, and carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.
