Description
The Emporio Armani Luigi AR11324 is a commanding chronograph timepiece that brings Italian design sensibility to modern horology. With its bold 46mm stainless steel case and striking black dial punctuated by vibrant yellow accents on the chronograph hands and subdials, this watch makes an unmistakable statement on the wrist. The Luigi collection embodies Emporio Armani's signature aesthetic: clean lines, architectural proportions, and meticulous attention to detail that translates high-fashion codes into functional wristwear.
Powered by a reliable quartz chronograph movement, the AR11324 features three subdials displaying 24-hour time, elapsed minutes, and seconds — essential complications for the modern gentleman who values both precision and versatility. The round stainless steel case, measuring 12mm in thickness, houses a mineral crystal that protects the dial while maintaining clarity. The integrated stainless steel bracelet, measuring 22mm at the lugs, features a robust three-link construction that balances comfort with visual presence, making this timepiece equally suited to boardroom presentations and weekend pursuits.

FAQ
Q: What type of movement powers the AR11324?
A: This watch uses a quartz chronograph movement, which provides accurate timekeeping and reliable chronograph functionality without the need for manual winding. The battery-powered movement ensures precision and low maintenance.
Q: Is the 46mm case size too large for smaller wrists?
A: The 46mm case diameter does create a substantial wrist presence, which is characteristic of the Luigi collection's bold design language. We recommend visiting our Johannesburg showrooms to try the watch on and assess the fit personally, as case proportion and lug-to-lug measurement both affect how a watch wears.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, the AR11324 is splash-resistant and can withstand handwashing and light rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any water-based activities to preserve the seals and movement integrity.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The chronograph features two pushers on the right side of the case. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph timing function, while the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The subdials display elapsed time in various increments, with the yellow hands indicating active chronograph functions.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz watch?
A: A standard quartz chronograph battery typically lasts between 2-3 years with regular use. When battery replacement is needed, bring your watch to Cassims & Co. and our watch servicing team will replace it with a quality cell while checking the gaskets to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can the stainless steel bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links to achieve a perfect fit. Our team at Mall of the South offers complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase, ensuring optimal comfort from day one.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Emporio Armani warranty?
A: Yes. As an authorised Emporio Armani retailer, every AR11324 we sell includes the full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty, complete with stamped warranty card and original packaging. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from authorised dealers like Cassims & Co.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Emporio Armani watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- What is Covered: Defects in the movement, case, dial, hands, and bracelet that arise from faulty manufacturing or materials.
- What is NOT Covered: Normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal, or bracelet; battery replacement; damage caused by accidents, misuse, or unauthorised repairs; water damage resulting from improper use or failure to have gaskets maintained; and damage from exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, or magnetic fields.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Emporio Armani retailer such as Cassims & Co. Watches purchased from unauthorised sellers or grey-market sources are not covered.
- Warranty Service: To make a warranty claim, present your watch along with the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card to Cassims & Co. We will assess the issue and facilitate warranty service through the official Emporio Armani service network.
- After-Sales Support: Beyond the warranty period, Cassims & Co. provides ongoing servicing, battery replacements, and bracelet adjustments for all Emporio Armani timepieces purchased from us.
Care guide
- Daily wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, which can damage the case finish and seals.
- Water exposure: Although rated to 5 ATM, do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture to enter the case.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils. For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly.
- Bracelet care: Periodically check that all bracelet links and pins are secure. If you notice any looseness or play in the bracelet, visit our servicing team to have it inspected and tightened.
- Crystal protection: The mineral crystal is more scratch-resistant than acrylic but less so than sapphire. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces, and store your watch separately from other timepieces or jewellery to prevent scratches.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. The original Emporio Armani presentation box provides ideal protection.
- Battery replacement: When the seconds hand begins to jump in 4-second intervals (end-of-life indicator) or the watch stops, have the battery replaced promptly by a professional watchmaker to prevent potential leakage damage.
- Servicing: We recommend having your quartz watch inspected every 3-4 years, or whenever you replace the battery, to check gaskets, seals, and overall movement health.
