Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The AR11515 sits in Emporio Armani's Diver Chronograph range, built around a 43mm round gunmetal stainless steel case with a screwed case back and a unidirectional rotating bezel. At 12mm thick with a 48mm lug-to-lug span, it wears with a solid, purposeful presence. The sunray-cut black and grey dial carries baton hour markers and hands, both with luminescent coating for low-light legibility. A date window and 12/24-hour subdial sit alongside the chronograph function. The 22mm black silicone strap fastens with a single-prong pin buckle, and the mineral crystal sits above a 100m water-resistant case.

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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £179 and £199, today it's £179.
