Emporio Armani Sinfonia 28mm Ladies Watch Mother Of Pearl
Ref. AR11776
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 295 Emporio Armani watches in stock.The oval case is what sets Sinfonia apart from the round field — at 22mm across and 28mm stem to crown, it sits closer to a piece of jewellery in its proportions, and the high-polished finish reinforces that reading without overdoing it. The mother-of-pearl surface shifts between white and faint iridescence depending on the light, and the Roman numerals keep it readable rather than purely decorative. The multi-link bracelet moves with the wrist in a way that a single-piece band does not, and the deployant clasp means it goes on and off cleanly without stretching the bracelet over time.

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?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 28mm, which suits wrists from roughly 15cm (6 inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
