Emporio Armani Mario AR11471 Men's Watch – 43mm Silver Dial Stainless Steel
Ref. AR11471
Sits in Emporio Armani’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Emporio Armani watches we list, which start at £100.
Price range £100 to £359 across 232 Emporio Armani watches in stock.The Mario line is Emporio Armani's workhorse chronograph — a tachymeter bezel and multi-register dial in the house's characteristic grey-silver palette, sized to fill a wrist without theatrical bulk. At 43mm it sits where a dress-leaning sports watch should, and at 141g the bracelet has enough presence to feel considered rather than hollow. The gunmetal bracelet against a silver-white dial creates a cooler, more industrial reading than the warmer two-tone combinations common at this size, and the deployant clasp means the fit stays consistent day to day. The chronograph is genuinely usable rather than decorative, and the lume on hands and markers means a dark room does not require a second look.

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.
