Emporio Armani AX4181 Two Tone Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W65448
Ref. AX4181
Sits in Emporio Armani’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Emporio Armani watches we list, which start at £90.
Price range £90 to £399 across 344 Emporio Armani watches in stock.Armani Exchange's Sync collection pitches itself at the dressed-casual middle ground: substantial enough to register, restrained enough to wear under a cuff. The silver-tone case pairs with a rose gold-tone bezel, crown and pushers — a combination that keeps the contrast legible without pushing it into sports-watch territory. At 10.9mm thick the watch sits flatter than its 140g suggests, and 42mm is a size that works across a reasonable range of wrist widths without demanding one. The bracelet tapers to 16mm at the lugs, which gives the overall silhouette a slightly narrower, more finished look at the ends. Three sub-dials track the chronograph's seconds, minutes and 24-hour hand; the date sits between four and five o'clock, tucked away rather than centred.

Learn more about Emporio Armani
Giorgio Armani launched Emporio Armani in 1981 as a younger, more accessible line beneath the main label. Watches followed under licence, and since 2000 they have been produced by Fossil Group, which holds the manufacturing and distribution rights.
The watches are fashion accessories rather than horological objects, and the house does not claim otherwise. Movements are bought-in quartz and Japanese automatic calibres, cased in designs that follow the clothing line's aesthetic: muted palettes, clean dials, and a preference for restraint over ornament.
That restraint is the appeal. Where much of the licensed-fashion category reaches for size and shine, Emporio Armani generally does not, and the better references in the line are quietly proportioned watches at prices well under the Swiss entry point.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
16mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
