The Emporio Armani Renato AR11181 is a masterclass in contemporary elegance, blending Italian design sophistication with Swiss-engineered quartz precision. This 43mm timepiece features a striking black textured dial framed by a polished stainless steel case, creating a refined aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening occasion. The prominent baton hour markers and crisp date window at 6 o'clock offer clarity and functionality, while the signature Armani eagle emblem at 12 o'clock anchors the dial with unmistakable brand heritage.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the Renato delivers exceptional accuracy and low-maintenance performance.

FAQ
Q: Is this an automatic or quartz watch?
A: The Emporio Armani Renato AR11181 is powered by a precise quartz movement, which requires a battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years. Quartz movements offer exceptional accuracy and low maintenance compared to automatic calibres.
Q: What does 50-metre water resistance mean for daily use?
A: A 50-metre (5 ATM) water resistance rating means this watch can withstand splashes, brief immersion in water, and rain, making it suitable for handwashing and light water exposure. However, it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be professionally adjusted. Visit our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary sizing, or consult a professional watchmaker if purchasing for delivery.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, as authorised Emporio Armani retailers, we provide a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from Cassims & Co.
Q: What is the case diameter, and will it suit my wrist size?
A: The case measures 43mm in diameter, which is considered a contemporary mid-to-large size suitable for most men's wrists. This dimension offers strong wrist presence without being overly dominant, complementing wrist sizes from 16cm to 20cm comfortably.
Q: Is battery replacement covered under warranty?
A: No, battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is not covered under the manufacturer warranty. However, our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace your battery using genuine components to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I wear this watch for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The Renato's clean black dial, polished stainless steel case, and refined bracelet make it an excellent choice for formal events, business meetings, and black-tie occasions, whilst remaining versatile enough for everyday sophistication.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Emporio Armani watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Warranty Validity: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Emporio Armani retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, bracelet adjustments, scratches or damage to the crystal, accidental damage, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to ensure the crown is properly secured, or damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Warranty Claims: To make a warranty claim, present your original purchase receipt and warranty card. Repairs will be assessed by authorised service centres to determine if the damage is covered under warranty terms.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, oils, and debris that can accumulate over time.
- Water Exposure: Although water-resistant to 50 metres, avoid operating the crown when wet and ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time to maintain the case seal.
- Avoid Impact: While robust, the mineral crystal can scratch or crack upon hard impact. Remove your watch during high-impact activities or manual labour.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products, as these can damage seals, degrade finishes, or discolour components.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Periodically clean the stainless steel bracelet with lukewarm water and a soft brush to remove buildup between links, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker every 2-3 years to prevent leakage and maintain water resistance. Our servicing team at Cassims & Co. uses genuine batteries and pressure-tests the case after service.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years, including gasket replacement and movement inspection, to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
