Stepping up in the same colour and case shape

A 43mm round stainless steel case in silver-tone with a gold-tone fixed tachymeter bezel houses a black sunray dial. Gold-tone index markers and hands carry luminous material for low-light legibility, while three sub-dials display 60-second, 30-minute, and 24-hour chronograph functions. The date sits between four and five o'clock. At 11mm thick, the case sits reasonably flat beneath a scratch-resistant mineral crystal. The two-tone bracelet in silver and gold finishes at a butterfly deployment clasp with a 22mm lug width.

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.

1975: Giorgio Armani founds his fashion house in Milan.
1981: Emporio Armani launches as a diffusion line.
2000: Fossil Group takes over watch production under licence.
