Emporio Armani AX7166SET Watch And Necklace Set - W65482
Ref. AX7166SET
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.The Spencer Chronograph is Armani Exchange's sport-casual proposition at 44mm — broad enough to carry the three-register dial without crowding, and at 12.9mm thick it sits flatter on the wrist than most chronographs at this scale. The black dial has a texture to it that stops it reading as plain in different light, and the bezel picks up blue and black accents that pull the whole thing away from a purely corporate silver-on-black palette. The set pairs the watch with a stainless steel chain carrying an A|X logo pendant, and both pieces share enough of the same finish language that they read as genuinely coordinated rather than a promotional afterthought — the kind of detail that makes the combination worth considering over the watch bought alone.

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?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
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?
22mm. 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.
Cheapest place to buy
