Emporio Armani Chronograph Quartz 38mm Mens Watch Blue
Ref. AR11750
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 Diego collection is Emporio Armani's rectangular-cased line, and the AR11750 makes the most of that format: a 38mm width in a cushion-rectangular shape reads noticeably more compact on the wrist than a round watch at the same measurement, sitting closer to the bone and wearing with some formality without demanding a suit. The navy dial rewards a second look — the radial sunburst finish means the colour shifts between near-black and a cleaner indigo depending on the angle of the light, and the applied baton indices catch that movement without cluttering the chronograph layout. The Miyota JS20 inside is a solid Japanese module for the job: the three sub-dials and 24-hour indicator are laid out clearly, and the hackable seconds hand is a small but useful detail at this function level.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
