The same slim, wide-dialled case as the black version, run the other way round: a flat white dial with black markers and black hands. It is the most legible layout there is, and on a dial with no minute track and no clutter it looks less like a dress watch and more like a piece of graphic design. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n 41mm with a bezel so narrow it barely registers, and a thin case with short lugs that curve down at the strap. The dial dominates, so the watch looks bigger than 41mm on the wrist while still sitting close enough to go under a shirt cuff. Suited to a wrist of roughly 17cm and up. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Black applied batons at every hour, longer at twelve, with matching black hands. Against flat white the contrast could not be higher; this is a watch you can read from across a room without pausing. A small white date window at three sits almost invisibly into the dial, which is a neat trick: on a white dial a date window stops being an interruption. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, with hours, minutes, centre seconds and date. Set the date by pulling the crown out one click, and avoid doing it late at night when the change mechanism is engaged. Beyond a battery every couple of years there is nothing to do. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Black leather, smooth, with edge stitching and a slight taper. Black against white is the strongest pairing this case can carry, and it keeps the watch looking deliberate rather than plain. The leather softens within a fortnight and settles into a consistent fit after that. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Anyone who values being able to read the time instantly and wants the watch to look considered rather than sporty. It sits equally well with a jacket and with a T-shirt. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep it dry. White dials show dust behind the crystal more than dark ones if the case is ever opened badly, so use a proper watchmaker for battery changes. Keep the leather out of water and out of direct sun. \n\n About the Brand \n The Luigi line is Emporio Armani’s cleanest men’s design, built around a wide dial and an almost absent bezel. This white version is the starkest of them. The eagle sits applied above twelve. \n\n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Collection Luigi \n Model AR1694 \n Case diameter 41mm \n Case material Polished stainless steel \n Case shape Round \n Dial White with black applied batons \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Hours, minutes, seconds, date \n Strap Black leather \n \n\n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.

The seconds hand is black like the rest, so the dial stays monochrome even while it runs.
