Emporio Armani Chronograph Quartz 38mm Mens Watch Black
Ref. AR11751
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 325 Emporio Armani watches in stock.The Diego collection sits within Armani's dressed-down formal range — watches shaped to read as accessories first and instruments second. The rectangular case is the clearest statement of that intention: where most chronographs are round, this one is architectural, and the black sunray dial with its sub-dials sits within that geometry without fighting it. At 38mm and 10mm thick it will disappear beneath a cuff, which is genuinely useful in a rectangular chronograph — the format tends to run larger and thicker than it needs to. The solid-link bracelet and butterfly clasp hold the overall look together, and the push-pin link system means getting the fit right at home is straightforward rather than a trip to a jeweller.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
20mm. 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, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
