Most small dress watches hide everything behind a flat dial. This one cuts a window through the middle of a mother-of-pearl face and lets you watch the mechanism turn. At 32mm on a nude leather strap it stays delicate while doing it. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is round, 32mm across, in a rose gold tone that carries through to the crown and the strap keepers. Thirty-two millimetres is a genuinely small watch by current standards — it sits neatly on a slim wrist and reads as jewellery rather than as an instrument. The bezel is thin, which gives the dial more room than the diameter suggests. \n Dial and Legibility \n The outer ring of the dial is mother-of-pearl, pale and faintly iridescent, and the centre is cut away to expose the works beneath. Roman numerals mark twelve, three, six and nine, with slim rose gold batons between them. Two thin hands do the telling. Because the numerals and hands share the same rose tone as the case, this is a dial you read at a glance rather than at a distance — it trades outright legibility for the view through the middle, and that is a fair trade at this size. \n Strap and Fit \n The strap is nude leather, smooth-finished, with rose gold-tone keepers. That pale colour is the honest part of owning this watch: it will pick up ink, denim dye and hand cream faster than a black or brown strap would, and it will darken slightly where it folds. Kept clean it looks quietly expensive; neglected it looks tired. A replacement strap in the same width is inexpensive if you ever want a fresh one. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone with a slim wrist who wants something with more character than a plain two-hander. The open centre gives it a talking point, and the neutral strap goes with more than a metal bracelet does — it will not clash with silver or gold jewellery worn on the same arm. \n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it dry: off before washing hands, off before a swim, off in the shower. Perfume and hand cream are the enemies of both a plated case and a pale strap, so put the watch on last. Wipe the strap with a barely damp cloth and never soak it. Store it out of a sunny window, since UV will yellow pale leather over time. \n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani watches sit in the fashion end of the market and are designed around the same restraint the clothing is known for: clean lines, warm metals, very little decoration. This piece is one of the more adventurous designs in the range because of the open dial. \n Technical Specifications \n Case diameter 32mm Case shape Round Case tone Rose gold Dial Mother-of-pearl with open centre Markers Roman numerals Strap Nude leather Reference AR60001 \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear. The watch arrives new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, ships nationwide with tracking, and may be returned unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. Look at it side-on in good light and the mother-of-pearl ring shifts colour while the centre stays grey — two different surfaces on one dial.
