Emporio Armani Sinfonia Quartz 28mm Ladies Watch Mother Of Pearl
Ref. AR11777
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 Sinfonia line is Armani's clearest statement of watches as jewellery rather than instruments — the oval case here makes that plain, sitting at 22mm across and only 6mm deep, flat enough to disappear under a sleeve and light enough to forget entirely. The mother-of-pearl dial shifts in character as the light moves, the Roman numerals reading as dress detail as much as time-keeping. The bracelet is worth the attention it receives: a polished multi-link in gold-tone steel with a butterfly clasp that keeps the underside clean, so the whole piece reads as continuous around the wrist. Fit is adjustable by removing standard links.

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.
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 women's.
