Emporio Armani Mario Meccanico AR60052 Men's Watch – 43.0mm Navy Dial Stainless Steel
Ref. AR60052
Sits in Emporio Armani’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Emporio Armani watches we list, which start at £90.
Price range £90 to £399 across 344 Emporio Armani watches in stock.The Mario Meccanico sits within Emporio Armani's more mechanically earnest corner — watches that want to show their workings rather than hide them. The open-heart aperture puts the Miyota 82S7 rotor in view, a movement from Citizen's dedicated automatic division that keeps reasonable time and winds from the wrist without fuss. At 43mm and 151g on a steel bracelet, this sits with some authority — you will know it is there. The navy dial works well at that size, giving the subsidiary seconds and 24-hour indicator room to breathe without crowding, and the depth of the colour holds differently under artificial light than in daylight.

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.
