A thin rose gold case, a mother-of-pearl dial with twelve small crystals where the numbers would be, and a black leather strap with a pebbled grain. The black is what makes it: on a tan or nude strap this would be a straightforwardly pretty watch, and on black it turns sharper and more wearable with everyday clothes. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n 32mm and round, in a warm rose gold tone, with a very slim polished bezel and slender lugs. At 32mm it is a genuinely small watch, sitting well within the width of most wrists and disappearing under a sleeve. The case is shallow, so it does not catch on cuffs. The crown is a tiny rose gold nub at three. \n Dial and Legibility \n Mother-of-pearl, and the real thing rather than a printed imitation: the surface breaks into irregular bands of pale grey, cream and blue-white as the light moves across it, and the pattern is different at every angle. Twelve set crystals mark the hours around the outside. Inside them, a printed track of fine black dashes carries the minutes, and the EMPORIO ARMANI wordmark sits in black just above the centre. Two slim rose gold hands tell the time. There is no seconds hand. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, time only. Nothing to reset, nothing to wind. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n Black leather with a raised pebble grain and neat edge stitching, narrow to suit the case. Grained leather like this hides scuffs far better than a smooth finish does, which matters on a strap this thin. It will soften within a couple of weeks and take a permanent crease at the hole you use most; that is normal and it is how the strap starts fitting properly. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Small wrists, and anyone who wants the shimmer of mother-of-pearl without a dial full of stones. It layers well with bracelets because the case is so slim. \n Care and Maintenance \n No water resistance rating is printed on the dial, so keep it well clear of water. Mother-of-pearl is a natural material and does not like heat or long spells in direct sun. Take the watch off before applying hand cream, and wipe the strap dry rather than leaving it damp. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Emporio Armani Reference AR80011 Case diameter 32mm Case shape Round Case colour Rose gold tone Dial Mother-of-pearl with crystal markers Movement Quartz Functions Time only Strap Black leather \n Buying With Confidence \n The movement carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty, excluding the battery and normal wear. The watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, is delivered anywhere in South Africa with tracking, and may be returned unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. The crystals sit slightly proud of the dial surface, so they catch light before the mother-of-pearl does.
