Emporio Armani AR60006 Automatic Men's Watch
Ref. AR60006
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 283 Emporio Armani watches in stock.The Luigi collection is where Emporio Armani makes its clearest argument for automatic dress wear, and the skeleton format here is the point of entry: the Miyota 8N24 is visible from both sides, dial and caseback, so the movement is genuinely on display rather than decorative shorthand for one that is. At 43mm it sits with presence on an average to larger wrist, and the silver sunray ring around the cut-out centre gives the dial some structure without closing it down. The butterfly clasp integrates neatly into the bracelet profile, and sizing is adjusted by removing links rather than through a tool-free mechanism — worth knowing before the first wear.

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 automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 42 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
What size strap does it take?
22mm. 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.
