A large watch in soft colours. The case is 43mm and rose gold tone, the dial is a pale brushed silver with matching rose gold markers, and the strap is a light leather stitched in a contrasting thread. It is listed as a women’s watch and it is a big one – worn deliberately oversized rather than dainty. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, 43mm, rose gold tone throughout, slim through the side with a narrow bezel and short lugs that turn down toward the strap. At this diameter on a smaller wrist the case will cover most of the wrist top and the lugs will sit close to the edges – which is the look, but it is worth knowing before it arrives. The pale strap keeps it from feeling heavy. \n Dial and Legibility \n Silver, brushed outward from the centre, with a raised ring inside the markers dividing the dish from the flange. Applied rose gold batons mark the hours, longer at twelve, three, six and nine, with fine rose gold hands to match. Warm markers on a cool pale dial is a soft, low-contrast combination – easy to look at, slower to read in weak light than a dark dial would be. The date sits at six in a small framed window. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz. Hours, minutes, seconds and the date, driven by a battery and set from a single two-position crown. \n Strap and Fit \n A pale smooth leather strap with visible contrast stitching along both edges, wide at the lugs to match the case. Light leather is the least forgiving colour there is: it picks up dirt from cuffs and denim, and hand cream marks it. Wipe it down regularly and keep it out of the rain. The upside is how well it sets off a rose gold case – a black or brown strap here would have made the watch far more ordinary. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants an oversized watch in soft colours rather than a small dressy one. It is a summer watch in feel, and it needs a bit of care to stay looking new. \n Care and Maintenance \n Keep the light strap away from water and ink. Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth – rose gold plating is thin and will not survive abrasive cleaners. Set the date outside the hours around midnight. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Emporio Armani Reference AR2464 Case diameter 43mm Case finish Rose gold tone Dial Silver, applied rose gold-tone batons Movement Quartz Functions Date Strap Leather with contrast stitching \n Buying With Confidence \n Ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.

The stitching runs right to the lug ends, which is what stops the pale strap looking like a plain band.
