Description
The Emporio Armani Archetipo (AR11826) is a 43mm round quartz watch for men, pairing a black sunray dial with a stainless steel case and a leather strap.
Case & crystal
The round case is stainless steel and measures 43mm across by 8.5mm thick, so it sits low for its diameter. A mineral crystal covers the dial. The case is steel while the band is leather, which gives the watch a contrast of cool metal against a softer strap.
Dial
The black dial carries a sunray finish, so light fans out in fine radial streaks as the wrist turns. Silver-tone hands and stick markers stand out against that dark ground, and a date window sits on the dial for the day of the month. Keeping the layout this spare makes the time quick to read.
Movement
A quartz movement drives the watch and provides the date complication. Quartz suits a wearer who wants a dependable, low-fuss watch that needs no winding. When the time comes, our team can arrange watch servicing and repairs for the piece.
Bracelet & fit
The leather strap fastens with a single prong buckle, the traditional arrangement that lets you set the fit hole by hole. Leather also moulds gently to the wrist with wear, so the strap becomes more comfortable over time.
On the wrist
At 43mm, the Archetipo has clear wrist presence and suits medium to larger wrists. The 8.5mm case profile keeps it slim enough to slip under a shirt cuff, which makes it equally suited to business dress and everyday wear. The black dial and leather strap lean towards smart-casual and office settings rather than sport. It also makes a considered gift for him.

Water resistance
The case is water resistant to 50 metres. In plain terms, it copes with splashes, hand washing and rain, but it is not intended for swimming or diving, and the leather strap is best kept dry.

FAQ
The round stainless steel case is 43mm in diameter and 8.5mm thick. That gives it clear presence on medium to larger wrists while staying slim enough to pass under a shirt cuff.
Yes. A date window on the black sunray dial shows the day of the month, and the date is the watch's only complication.
The watch is water resistant to 50 metres, which covers splashes, hand washing and rain. It is not intended for swimming or diving, and the leather strap should be kept away from water.
It has a quartz movement, so there is no winding. Like any quartz watch, it will eventually need a battery change, which we can arrange through watch servicing.
The leather strap closes with a single prong buckle, so you adjust the fit hole by hole for a secure, personal setting.
The black dial, steel case and leather strap suit business and everyday wear, which makes it a versatile gift for a man who wants one watch for the office and weekends.
Warranty
Supplied with the 2-year international Armani warranty, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer and registered at purchase through Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship; it does not cover normal wear, batteries, straps, glass, or damage from misuse or water ingress through an unscrewed crown.
Our watch service centre in Johannesburg handles warranty work, batteries, bracelet sizing and servicing.
Care guide
- Keep the watch away from submersion: the 50 metre rating covers splashes and rain, not swimming or diving.
- Wipe the leather strap with a dry, soft cloth and avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat and perfume to protect the leather.
- Clean the stainless steel case with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry it straight away.
- Protect the mineral crystal from hard knocks and abrasive surfaces.
- Have the quartz movement checked when the battery runs down, and have the seals tested periodically to maintain the water resistance.
