Emporio Armani Meccanico AR60046 Men's Watch – 43mm Black Dial Leather
Ref. AR60046
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 Meccanico collection is Emporio Armani's case for the mechanical watch as a fashion object — the skeleton dial is less about horological theatre and more about making the automatic movement visible beneath the Armani house aesthetic. The result is a watch that reads as deliberately composed: black PVD against a black open dial, the movement glimpsed rather than displayed. At 43mm it fills the wrist without dominating it, and 12mm of case thickness keeps it close enough to the arm to work under a shirt cuff. The black leather strap reinforces the tonal logic of the whole piece, and at 68.56g the watch settles on the wrist with enough presence to be felt without fatigue over a long day.

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 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?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
