The Emporio Armani Luigi AR11600 epitomises Italian sophistication fused with contemporary watchmaking precision. This 42mm round case timepiece features a striking black sunray dial adorned with silver Roman numerals and elegant baton indices, creating a refined visual harmony that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening occasion. The silver-tone hour, minute, and second hands sweep across the dial with clarity, whilst a date aperture at three o'clock adds practical functionality to this meticulously designed watch.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the AR11600 ensures consistent accuracy without the need for daily winding. The slender 10mm case profile sits comfortably on the wrist, whilst the polished stainless steel five-link bracelet delivers substantial presence without excessive weight. Water-resistant to 50 metres, this timepiece handles daily splashes and brief immersion with confidence, though it is not intended for swimming or water sports.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The AR11600's 50-metre water resistance handles daily exposure to water splashes, rain, and handwashing with ease. The quartz movement requires minimal maintenance, and the stainless steel construction resists scratching and tarnishing during regular wear.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between two to three years, depending on usage patterns. When replacement becomes necessary, our team at Cassim & Co. can perform this service professionally, ensuring the watch's water resistance seals are properly maintained.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that allow for precise sizing. Our experienced staff can adjust the bracelet to your exact wrist measurement at no additional charge when you purchase from our Mall of the South boutique, or we can guide you through the adjustment process if ordering for delivery.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes. As authorised Emporio Armani retailers, every AR11600 we sell includes the full 2-year international Armani warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is only valid when purchased from authorised dealers such as Cassim & Co.
Q: What does the 50-metre water resistance rating mean in practical terms?
A: A 50-metre rating means the watch can handle everyday water exposure such as handwashing, rain, and brief splashes. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The rating indicates static pressure resistance rather than dynamic water activity.
Q: Does the date change automatically at midnight?
A: Yes, the date complication advances automatically at midnight. In months with fewer than 31 days, you'll need to manually adjust the date forward using the crown—a simple process detailed in the instruction manual provided with your watch.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Exceptionally so. The Luigi collection's minimalist design philosophy, black dial, and polished stainless steel execution make it equally appropriate for business meetings, formal dinners, and black-tie events. Its understated elegance complements rather than dominates your attire.
Warranty
- This Emporio Armani Luigi AR11600 is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, including faults in the case, movement, hands, and bracelet that arise from manufacturing errors.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or bracelet, nor does it cover battery replacement, which is considered a consumable component requiring periodic service.
- Water damage resulting from misuse—such as operating the crown whilst submerged, exceeding the stated water resistance rating, or failing to maintain water resistance seals—is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, unauthorised repairs, or modifications void the manufacturer warranty immediately. Always consult authorised service centres for any maintenance or repair needs.
- To claim warranty service, retain your original purchase receipt as proof of purchase date and authorised dealer status. Cassim & Co. will assist with warranty claims and can liaise with Emporio Armani service centres on your behalf.
- The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser. It does not extend the warranty period beyond the original two years from the purchase date, even if repairs are performed during the warranty term.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and everyday residue that can dull the polished finish.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use warm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring you dry the watch thoroughly afterwards. Do not submerge the watch beyond its 50-metre rating.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, which can damage seals and affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or soft pouch prevents scratching and dust accumulation.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or timekeeping becomes erratic. Prompt replacement prevents potential leakage damage to the movement.
- Although water-resistant to 50 metres, avoid operating the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.
- Consider having the water resistance seals tested every two to three years, particularly if you frequently expose the watch to water. This preventive maintenance protects the movement from moisture damage.
- If the mineral crystal becomes scratched, consult our servicing team. While minor surface marks are normal with daily wear, deep scratches may compromise clarity and should be professionally assessed.
