Almost everything on this watch is one colour. The dial is a blush pink with a sunray brush, the case is rose gold-tone, and the strap is a pale nude-pink leather. Tonal watches usually go flat; this one holds together because the sunray finish keeps changing the dial as the light moves. Case and Wrist Presence The case is 32mm across and very slim, with a bezel narrow enough to be almost invisible from above. It is round, plain and thin – there is no crown guard, no bezel detail and no stepped edge. At 32mm on a slim case the watch reads as jewellery on the wrist rather than as an instrument, and it slides under a sleeve without any effort at all. Dial and Legibility The blush pink is brushed outwards from the centre, so it is lighter at the middle and deeper at the rim. Rose gold-tone Roman numerals mark six and nine, with slim applied batons elsewhere, and the eagle sits above the wordmark at twelve. The hands are fine rose gold-tone needles. Rose gold on pink is a deliberately soft contrast: the watch is easy to read in daylight and asks more of you in a dim room, which is the price of a dial this quiet. Movement and Functions Quartz, so the watch keeps time whether it is worn daily or left in a drawer, and it needs nothing from you between battery changes. Set the time through the crown on the right and put it on. Strap and Fit Pale blush leather held by rose gold-tone keepers at the lugs. A light strap like this shows marks that a black one would hide, so it suits someone who takes a watch off before gardening or cooking. The leather is soft from new and will follow the wrist within days rather than weeks. When it eventually stains past cleaning, a new strap costs a fraction of the watch and takes five minutes to fit. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wears rose gold jewellery and wants the watch to sit inside that palette rather than beside it. It stacks well with thin bangles and photographs far better than a steel watch does. Care and Maintenance Keep perfume and hand cream off both the plating and the pale leather; the plating dulls and the leather stains. Wipe the case with a dry cloth. Have battery changes done by a watchmaker who will reseat the caseback gasket rather than pressing it home dry. About the Brand Emporio Armani watches come out of the same studio thinking as the clothing: a short palette, clean proportions, and the eagle as a signature rather than a slogan.
