Emporio Armani Mario AR60051 Men's Watch – 43mm Black Dial Leather
Ref. AR60051
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 Mario collection is Emporio Armani's attempt to bring an open-heart movement into the brand's characteristic dress-adjacent aesthetic — the skeleton aperture here is less about flaunting mechanics and more about giving a plain black dial a second layer of interest without reaching for colour or texture. At 43mm and 13mm thick it sits assertively on the wrist without becoming a statement about itself, and the Miyota automatic underneath repays that size honestly: a genuine self-winding movement from one of Japan's most reliable suppliers, wound by nothing more than daily wear. The black leather on a 22mm lug keeps the whole thing grounded — closer to desk than to dive bar, which suits the 50m rating, adequate for the incidental water contact a watch like this will realistically encounter.

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.
Cheapest place to buy
Watch Enclave is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
