The Emporio Armani World Explorer AR11638 is a refined sport watch that combines contemporary styling with practical dive-inspired functionality. Featuring a 42mm stainless steel case with a polished and brushed finish, this timepiece houses a striking green sunray dial that shifts in tone as light moves across its surface. The unidirectional rotating bezel, marked with luminescent indices, and the robust 10 ATM (100-metre) water resistance make this watch a versatile companion for both urban pursuits and weekend aquatic adventures.
Powered by a reliable quartz three-hand date movement, the AR11638 delivers precision timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The dial layout is clean and purposeful: luminous hour markers and hands ensure legibility in low-light conditions, while the date window at 3 o'clock adds everyday utility. The green silicone strap, both comfortable and durable, complements the dial's military-inspired palette and secures with a traditional pin buckle. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for ARMANI watches, ensuring every timepiece is backed by full international warranty and after-sales support.

This particular reference, AR11638, stands out for its harmonious use of colour and material, appealing to collectors who appreciate a watch that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to beach. The green dial and bezel configuration is decidedly on-trend, yet timeless enough to remain relevant for years to come.

FAQ
Q: Is the Emporio Armani AR11638 suitable for swimming and snorkelling?
A: Yes, with a water resistance rating of 10 ATM (100 metres), the AR11638 is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and surface water sports. It is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water activities. Avoid operating the crown or pushers underwater, and rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorine or saltwater.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The AR11638 uses a quartz three-hand date movement, offering reliable and accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The battery typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage, and can be replaced at any authorised service centre or at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Can the bezel be rotated in both directions?
A: No, the bezel is unidirectional, rotating only in one direction (anticlockwise). This is a standard safety feature on dive-style watches, preventing accidental extension of elapsed time underwater.
Q: Is the silicone strap adjustable, and can it be replaced?
A: The silicone strap is adjustable via a traditional pin buckle and multiple holes to accommodate various wrist sizes. It can be replaced with any standard 22mm strap or bracelet. We can assist with strap replacements and sizing at our boutique.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, the AR11638 is covered by a 2-year international Emporio Armani warranty when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, but does not cover battery replacement, normal wear, or accidental damage.
Q: What makes the green dial "sunray"?
A: A sunray dial finish features radial brushing that emanates from the centre of the dial, creating a dynamic play of light and shadow. As the watch moves on your wrist, the green tone shifts subtly from lighter to darker shades, adding depth and visual interest.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The World Explorer AR11638 is an excellent gift choice for anyone who appreciates contemporary design, versatile styling, and the prestige of the Armani name. We offer gift wrapping and personalised service at our Mall of the South boutique, and can arrange nationwide delivery across South Africa.

Care Guide
- Water Resistance: While rated to 10 ATM, avoid operating the crown when the watch is wet or submerged. Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and silicone strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. After exposure to saltwater or chlorine, rinse the watch under fresh running water and dry thoroughly.
- Battery Replacement: When the seconds hand begins to jump in 4-second intervals or the watch stops, have the battery replaced promptly by an authorised service centre to prevent potential leakage damage.
- Strap Care: Silicone straps are durable and low-maintenance, but avoid prolonged exposure to oils, lotions, and solvents which may degrade the material over time. Wash occasionally with mild soap and water.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures. A watch box or pouch is ideal.
- Impact and Magnetism: Avoid dropping the watch or exposing it to strong shocks. Keep away from speakers, magnetic clasps, and electronic devices that may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Service Intervals: Quartz watches require minimal servicing, but we recommend a professional inspection every 3-5 years to ensure gaskets and seals remain intact, particularly if you use the watch in water regularly.
