Emporio Armani Rose Gold Tone and White Dial Ladies Watch
Ref. AR11266
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.Part of Armani's Gianni T-Bar line, this is a watch that borrows its logic from jewellery: at 22mm it sits closer to a bracelet than a conventional timepiece, and that is precisely how it is meant to be worn. The crystal-pavé dial catches light the way a ring does, and the eagle at twelve is the only interruption to what is otherwise a clean, glittering surface. The integrated link bracelet keeps the proportions honest — narrow, rose gold-toned, it flows from the case without a visible break. A fold-over clasp with push-button release means it stays put and comes off cleanly, which matters more than it sounds on something this delicate.

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?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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?
10mm. 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 women's.
