A deep red strap under a pale shell dial. Red is the colour most watch brands avoid because it dates quickly, and it works here precisely because everything above it is neutral: rose gold, white shell and clear stones, with the colour confined to the leather. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 32mm round case in rose gold tone plated steel, thin, with a polished bezel and rose gold strap brackets at twelve and six in place of lugs. The strap threads through them and turns down immediately, so the case sits flat and low. At 32mm on a narrow strap the case looks larger than it is, which is the usual effect of a strap narrower than the case. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n White mother-of-pearl with the grain and faint colour shift of real shell. Rose gold Roman numerals sit at nine, three and six, applied batons fill the other hours, and a ring of small clear crystals is set inside the hour track. Two rose gold hands, no seconds hand. The crystals sit far enough inboard that they do not interfere with the markers, so the dial reads normally in most light despite being a decorated one. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes. Battery powered, so it keeps time whether worn daily or occasionally, and there is nothing to wind or reset. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Red leather with a fine lizard-style grain running across it. The texture helps hide the scuffing that a coloured strap picks up, but red leather also fades faster in sunlight than black or brown, so it should not be left on a windowsill. Leather takes the shape of the wrist in the first fortnight and stays comfortable after that. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants one watch with colour in it. Because the colour is in the strap rather than the case or dial, it can be swapped later for black or tan without changing the character of the watch head. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Keep the strap dry and out of the sun. Wipe the plated case with a soft dry cloth and keep perfume off it. Use only a very soft brush near the crystal ring; a stiff brush can loosen a setting. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Reference AR11322 \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Case diameter 32mm \n Case finish Rose gold tone \n Dial White mother-of-pearl with crystal set ring \n Markers Roman numerals and applied batons \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Hours, minutes \n Strap Red textured leather \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear. The watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, delivered nationwide with tracking, and may be returned unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. The strap keepers are rose gold and sit proud of the leather, which is what stops the red from running straight into the case.
