Emporio Armani Gianni T-Bar AR60023 Women's Watch – 34mm Silver Dial Stainless Steel

Ref. AR60023

Premium

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 232 Emporio Armani watches in stock.

The Gianni T-Bar is one of Emporio Armani's longer-running dress lines, and this iteration makes an unusual choice for it: an automatic movement with a skeletonised dial, so the mechanics are part of what you look at rather than something hidden beneath a printed surface. In rose gold PVD, the result reads warmer and more considered than a standard fashion automatic. At 34mm and just 7mm deep, it sits flat and close to the wrist, and 56g gives it enough presence to feel deliberate without loading the arm. The skeleton layout means the dial changes depending on the light and angle — more going on at certain moments, quieter at others.

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.

Water resistance explained

Will 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 compared

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as women's, though at 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
