The clean dial layout is punctuated by applied silver-toned indices and hands, with a date window positioned at 6 o'clock for practical daily functionality.

Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Emporio Armani warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, including movement malfunctions and manufacturing-related case or bracelet defects.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, or aesthetic deterioration of the case, crystal, dial, or bracelet resulting from everyday use.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, bracelet adjustments, and consumable components such as gaskets and seals are excluded from warranty coverage.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, improper operation of the crown while submerged, or failure to maintain water resistance through regular servicing is not covered.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, unauthorized modifications, repairs performed by non-authorized service centres, or use contrary to instructions voids the warranty.
- To validate your warranty claim, you must present the original proof of purchase and completed warranty card from Cassims & Co. or another authorised Emporio Armani retailer.
- Warranty service is provided through authorised Emporio Armani service centres, and Cassims & Co. will facilitate all warranty claims on behalf of our customers for seamless support.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and environmental residue that can dull the polished finish.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or sudden temperature changes, as these can affect the quartz movement's accuracy and damage seals.
- Do not operate the crown or attempt to set the time when the watch is wet or submerged, as this compromises the water resistance and may allow moisture ingress.
- Remove the watch before engaging in high-impact sports, manual labour, or activities involving strong magnetic fields, which can affect the quartz movement's precision.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, and ensure gaskets are replaced during battery changes to maintain the 5 ATM rating.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use, preferably in the original Emporio Armani presentation box to protect against dust and scratches.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, which can damage the case finish, crystal, and bracelet over time.
- If the stainless steel bracelet becomes dirty, it can be gently cleaned with lukewarm soapy water and a soft brush, then thoroughly dried with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Bring your watch to our authorised service centre for professional maintenance every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of all components.
