A 43mm round stainless steel case with a polished silver-tone finish carries a sunray champagne dial ringed by antique bronze-tone index markers. Three sub-dials track seconds, minutes, and a 24-hour display, while the date appears at an angle between four and five o'clock. The fixed bezel carries a tachymeter scale in a bronze tone that ties neatly to the dial's colour palette. Hands are luminous, and a mineral crystal sits over the dial. The 22mm stainless steel bracelet fastens with a push-button deployant clasp and gives the watch a solid, considered feel on the wrist.

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 explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's.
