Yellow gold against a bright silver dial – the older, sharper version of the two-tone idea, and it still reads well. A 32mm gold-tone case, a silver sunray face with gold numerals, and a cream leather strap with a lizard-pattern emboss. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is silver-white with a sunray brush that fans from the centre, so it lifts and dims as you move your wrist. Gold Roman numerals sit at six and nine, with slim applied gold batons at the remaining hours and the eagle logo at twelve. Two fine gold hands, nothing else – no seconds hand and no date. Gold on silver gives noticeably better contrast than gold on a champagne dial, so this is the more readable of the two watches in this pair. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n A round 32mm case in polished yellow gold-tone, thin through the profile, with a slim bezel and short lugs. The polish is bright rather than brushed, so the case throws light and looks like jewellery from a distance. On a narrow wrist it sits neatly with room left for a bracelet alongside. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, time only. No date to correct, nothing to wind. A battery every few years is the extent of it. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Cream leather with a lizard-pattern emboss – a fine horizontal grain broken by darker markings, pressed into the hide rather than cut from a skin. Polished gold-tone keepers hold it at the lugs. Cream is the least forgiving strap colour there is: it shows every mark, and it will not come clean once denim dye has transferred into it. On the other hand it softens fast and takes the wrist’s shape within a couple of weeks. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wears yellow gold rather than rose. The bright dial keeps it from looking heavy, and the small case makes it a dress watch first – it suits a smart lunch better than a desk full of paperwork. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Keep the strap dry, and keep it away from dark denim. Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth. Gold-tone plating is a surface layer, so put the watch on after perfume and hairspray, not before, and never clean it with an abrasive cloth or a polishing compound. When the strap goes, a standard replacement in the same width will fit. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Model AR11127 \n Gender Women’s \n Case diameter 32mm \n Case shape Round \n Case colour Gold-tone \n Dial colour Silver \n Dial markers Roman numerals and batons \n Movement Quartz \n Strap Leather, lizard emboss \n EAN 4051432330377 \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
