Emporio Armani Quartz 26mm Ladies Watch
Ref. AR11763
Sits in Emporio Armani’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Emporio Armani watches we list, which start at £90.
Price range £90 to £359 across 352 Emporio Armani watches in stock.The Genni sits within Armani's line of jewellery-adjacent dress watches — pieces designed to read as an accessory first and a timepiece second. The rectangular case, at 6mm thin, is the decision that makes that possible: at that profile it disappears under a cuff or lies flat against the wrist like a bangle rather than sitting proud of it. The two-tone bracelet does most of the visual work, alternating silver and gold across five links, with the butterfly clasp folding away cleanly so the whole length reads as a single piece. Against it, the mother-of-pearl dial with gold Roman numerals is quieter than it might sound — pearl shifts with the light, and the effect at 26mm is restrained.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What size strap does it take?
14mm. 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 women's.
