Armani Exchange Sync Chronograph Grey Leather Mens Watch
Ref. AX4191
A 42mm round case in black stainless steel houses a matte grey dial with tonal chronograph sub-dials and black index hour markers. The date sits between four and five o'clock, and the black hands carry a luminescent treatment for low-light legibility. Mineral glass protects the dial, and the case runs to approximately 11mm in thickness. A smooth grey leather strap, 16mm wide, fastens with a single-prong buckle and continues the monochromatic grey-and-black palette through to the wrist. Water resistance stands at 50 metres.

Learn more about Armani Exchange
Giorgio Armani launched A|X Armani Exchange in the United States in 1991, positioned below Emporio Armani as the group's most accessible line. Where the parent label drew on Milanese tailoring, Armani Exchange took its cues from street style and club culture, and priced itself accordingly.
Ownership took years to settle. A joint venture with Como Holdings was formed in 2005 to accelerate the line's growth, with Armani initially holding a minority stake. He bought a further quarter in 2008 and the remainder in 2014, bringing the brand fully in-house. In 2017 Armani Jeans was folded into it, consolidating the group's casual offering under one name.
The watches are made under licence by Fossil Group, the same manufacturer behind the Emporio Armani line, and they sit at a similar price point. The styling is the difference. Armani Exchange runs larger, brighter and more heavily branded than its sibling, with visible logos and bolder case treatments, which is the point rather than an oversight.

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.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £134 and £179, today it's £179.
