Emporio Armani Mario AR11454 Men's Watch – 43mm Green Dial Stainless Steel
Ref. AR11454
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 Mario collection sits at the more expressive end of what Emporio Armani produces — watches designed to be read across a room rather than consulted quietly. The deep green dial against gold-tone hardware is a considered pairing, the kind of combination that reads as deliberate rather than accidental, and the tachymeter bezel with its green insert ties the whole thing together without overcomplicating it. At 142g on the wrist, this is a watch that makes itself known throughout the day. The chronograph subdials give the dial genuine depth and prevent the green from feeling like a single flat wash of colour. Luminous hands mean it remains legible without fumbling in low light, which at this size and with this dial treatment is exactly what you would want.

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.

It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
