The Emporio Armani AR11778 is built around a stainless steel case and a mother-of-pearl dial. Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is worked in stainless steel. The surface treatment is polished. \n Reading the Dial \n A mother-of-pearl dial sits behind the crystal. \n Movement and Functions \n A quartz movement drives the watch. That means accuracy which needs no daily attention, no winding routine, and no rate drift to correct. \n \n Mineral crystal – protecting the dial \n \n Water Resistance and Everyday Durability \n A mineral crystal protects the dial – harder than acrylic and more shatter-resistant than sapphire, which is a sensible trade-off on a case this size. \n Styling Notes \n Mother-of-pearl is the defining note here, and the easiest way to wear it is to let it be the only strong colour on the wrist. \n Care and Maintenance \n A watch at this level rewards very little maintenance, but the little it asks for makes the difference between one that still looks sharp in five years and one that does not. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper service reseats the case gasket at the same time, which is what actually preserves the water rating. A flat battery left in the case is the single most common cause of avoidable movement damage. Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat, and it will hold its rate and its finish. \n About the Brand and Ownership \n The appeal of a Emporio Armani is that it is unmistakable. You are buying a design point of view rather than an anonymous case with a dial in it. Quartz keeps the running costs near zero – a battery every few years and the occasional seal check is the whole of the maintenance schedule. Basic care goes a long way – keep it clear of solvents and perfume, rinse the strap if it has been in salt water, and store it somewhere dry. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Emporio Armani \n Model / Reference AR11778 \n EAN 4064092376432 \n Case Material Stainless steel \n Case Finish Polished \n Dial Colour Mother-of-pearl \n Crystal Mineral \n Movement Quartz \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get.
