Pink mother-of-pearl is less common than white, and it changes the character of a watch completely. Here it is cut into small tiles and laid herringbone-fashion behind a 32mm polished steel case, on a narrow steel bracelet that tapers hard from the lugs. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n The shell tiles run from soft rose through to pale lilac and mint depending on the angle – real mother-of-pearl does this, and no two dials are identical. Twelve slim polished batons mark the hours, and there is nothing else on the dial but the eagle logo at twelve and the wordmark below it. Two fine polished hands, no seconds hand. Silver markers on a light iridescent dial is not the strongest contrast pairing, so in low light you will read the hands rather than the indices – the trade you accept for a shell dial. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 32mm round case in polished stainless steel, with a thin bezel and lugs that step down sharply to a narrow bracelet. That taper is the design signature: wide at the case, thin at the wrist, so the watch reads more like a bracelet with a dial set into it. It is small, flat and unobtrusive. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, time only. Nothing to wind; the battery is the only thing that eventually needs attention. \n\n Bracelet and Fit \n A three-row polished steel bracelet, narrow through the middle and shaped where it meets the case. Narrow bracelets like this feel light on the wrist and stack well with thin bangles, but they also need sizing accurately – there is not enough weight to keep a loose one from sliding round. Links come out to adjust the fit. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a small dress watch with a bit of colour in it, without going to a coloured strap. Steel and pink shell is an easy pairing to wear – it works with silver jewellery and against most outfits, and the small case keeps it discreet at work. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Stainless steel is hard-wearing; wipe the bracelet with a damp cloth and dry it. Mother-of-pearl sits under the crystal and needs no attention, but keep perfume and hairspray off the watch – they mark shell and dull polished steel. A soft brush lifts grit from between the links. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Model AR11122 \n Gender Women’s \n Case diameter 32mm \n Case material Stainless steel \n Case shape Round \n Dial Pink mother-of-pearl \n Dial markers Sticks \n Movement Quartz \n Bracelet Stainless steel \n EAN 4051432330353 \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n The movement carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty, excluding battery and normal wear.
