A clean white dial in a rose gold-tone case, on a bracelet that alternates steel and rose gold through five rows of links. The two-tone bracelet is what makes this wearable with more or less any jewellery, since it carries both metals rather than forcing a choice. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is 40mm, which is generous for a women’s watch and gives the dial room to stay uncluttered. The bezel is thin and the case slim, so the watch sits close to the wrist rather than perching on it. On a slimmer wrist the diameter will read as deliberately oversized, which is a look in its own right. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Rose gold Roman numerals at the quarters with long batons between them, printed on a flat white dial, and a small seconds register below the centre. The white background gives the rose gold markers something to work against, so this reads more easily than the silver-on-silver versions of the same design. There is no minute track, which keeps the dial open. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours, minutes and small seconds, no date. The crown is a small rose gold-tone button at three, sized to match the case rather than to be easy to grip, so setting the time is a fingertip job. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A five-row bracelet with polished rose gold-tone centre links between brushed and polished steel outers. Fine links mean fine sizing steps, so it can usually be set very close to an exact fit. The centre links stand slightly proud of the rest, which is where the plating will wear first over years of desk work. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Somebody who wears both silver and rose gold and wants a watch that will not clash with either. The larger case makes it an everyday watch rather than an evening one. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it out of the shower and the pool. Soap and skin oil collect between the links and dull the rose gold faster than the steel; a soft brush with plain water, followed by a thorough dry, brings the shine back. Avoid metal polishes altogether, since they cut through plating. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s two-tone women’s watches have been a constant in the range, and this dial layout, Roman numerals with the seconds moved down to six, appears across it in several sizes. The eagle is printed above the centre. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Model AR1677 \n Case diameter 40mm \n Case finish Rose gold-tone \n Case shape Round \n Dial White with rose gold Roman numerals, small seconds \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Hours, minutes, small seconds \n Bracelet Two-tone steel and rose gold-tone \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.

The bracelet tapers from the case towards the clasp, which is what stops a 40mm watch looking slab-sided on the wrist.
