A thin gold-tone case, a white dial marked only with small crystals, and a woven strap printed end to end with the Armani eagle. The strap is the loudest thing on the watch, and only just. Case and Wrist Presence The case is 32mm and noticeably slim, with a bezel narrow enough that the dial takes up nearly the whole face. The lugs are short flat tabs that hold the wide strap flush against the case, so the watch reads as one continuous band on the wrist rather than as a dial with a strap attached. The crown is a small gold-tone cylinder set close to the case, which keeps the silhouette unbroken. A slim case like this disappears under a sleeve. Dial and Legibility White, with a fine minute track ringing the outer edge and twelve small crystals standing in for hour markers. There are no numerals and no batons, so the crystals carry the whole job; they catch light and mark position, and reading the time is a matter of noting where the slim gold hands fall between them. The eagle logo sits below twelve with the wordmark beneath. It is a decorative dial that stays legible because it is uncluttered. Movement and Functions Quartz, hours and minutes only. No date to correct and no seconds hand to tick. Pull the crown, set the time, push it back, and the watch runs until the battery needs replacing. Strap Clasp and Fit The strap is a cream fabric woven with a repeating Armani eagle motif, backed for comfort and fitted with a gold-tone buckle. Fabric behaves differently to leather: it breathes, so it stays cooler in summer, and it does not stiffen with sweat, but it will take up a stain rather than shrug it off. Adjustment is through punched holes. A fabric strap on a slim case also keeps the total weight very low, which is the point of a watch built this thin. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a light, flat watch for everyday wear and likes a strap that says whose watch it is. It is a daytime piece rather than an evening one, and it works well on a small wrist where a heavy bracelet would slide. Good for warm weather, when metal against the skin stops being pleasant. Care and Maintenance Keep the fabric strap out of the wash. Spot-clean it with a barely damp cloth and let it dry in air. The gold tone on the case is a plated finish, so wipe it dry and keep perfume off it, since alcohol attacks plating over time. Check the set crystals occasionally to be sure they are all seated. Use a watchmaker for the battery so the caseback gasket is refitted properly.
