Emporio Armani Black Strap 32mm Ladies Watch
Ref. AR1910
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 Gianni T-Bar collection takes its name from the way the strap attaches — not through conventional lugs at the shoulders, but via a single central lug that draws the leather up through the middle of the case, a small structural flourish that gives the whole piece an unusually clean silhouette from the side. Roman numerals at three, six and nine, gold baton indices elsewhere, and the Armani eagle sitting at twelve keep the dial legible without crowding the mother-of-pearl, which shifts between cream and faint iridescence depending on where the light falls. At 32mm across and 8mm deep, it disappears beneath a cuff and reads as jewellery on a narrow wrist. The black calfskin strap and gold case are a considered pairing — the contrast is sharp enough to work against both pale and dark clothing without demanding either.

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?
No. It is hand-wound, so it needs winding every day or two but never a battery.
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.
