Mother-of-pearl under a rose gold-tone bezel, on a bracelet that runs steel and rose gold together. The shell dial is left almost bare, with only two Roman numerals and a set of thin batons on it, and that emptiness is what lets the pattern in the shell do the work. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 32mm case with a very thin bezel and a slim profile, so the watch sits flat and the dial fills the face. It is the size most women’s dress watches settle at, readable without being large, and it disappears under a sleeve. The rose gold tone is warm rather than orange and holds up well next to the steel in the bracelet. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n The shell shifts between white, cream and a faint grey-pink as the light changes, so the dial is never the same colour twice. Rose gold Roman numerals sit at nine and six, with slim batons at the other hours and matching hands. Rose gold on pale shell is a soft, low-contrast combination; it reads clearly in daylight and slowly in dim light. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes. No date, no seconds hand, nothing moving on the dial at all when you glance at it. The crown at three is small, fluted and rose gold-tone, sized to sit flush against the case. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A five-row bracelet with polished rose gold-tone centre links between steel outers. Small links mean the sizing steps are fine, so the fit can usually be set close to exact rather than left slightly loose. Bracelets like this drape well on a narrow wrist because the many small links flex in more places than a three-link design would. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a dress watch that works with both silver and rose gold jewellery, and who prefers a bracelet to leather for everyday wear. It is understated enough for work and finished enough for the evening. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on this dial, so keep it dry. Two-tone bracelets trap soap and skin oil between the links; clean with a soft brush and plain water, then dry the clasp properly. Plating wears at the raised centre links first, so avoid resting the bracelet on a hard desk edge for long periods. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani has used mother-of-pearl and two-tone bracelets together across its women’s range for years.
