Description
The Emporio Armani Gianni T-Bar AR11385 is a refined expression of contemporary Italian design, crafted for those who appreciate understated elegance with a modern edge. This 32mm quartz timepiece showcases a mesmerising mother-of-pearl mosaic dial in soft white tones, punctuated by delicate diamond-set hour markers and slender rose gold-tone hands. The signature T-bar lug design creates a sophisticated architectural detail that distinguishes the Gianni collection, while the rose gold-tone stainless steel bracelet delivers both comfort and visual warmth on the wrist.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, this watch offers maintenance-free precision for the modern wearer. The 30-metre water resistance provides everyday protection against splashes and brief immersion, making it suitable for daily wear. At just 8mm thick and weighing 76 grams, the AR11385 sits comfortably under a cuff, making it an ideal choice for both professional and social occasions. The mineral crystal protects the intricate dial, while the 14mm bracelet width ensures balanced proportions on smaller wrists.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Emporio Armani timepieces, ensuring that every watch comes with full manufacturer warranty and authenticity guarantees. This piece carries a 2-year international Armani warranty, providing peace of mind with your investment. Should you require bracelet adjustments or future battery replacements, our experienced watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your timepiece maintains its performance and appearance for years to come.
The Gianni T-Bar collection represents Emporio Armani's commitment to accessible luxury, blending Italian fashion sensibility with Swiss-inspired watchmaking standards. The mother-of-pearl dial creates a unique iridescent effect that shifts subtly in different lighting conditions, ensuring no two viewing angles are quite the same. This feminine aesthetic is balanced by the geometric precision of the case architecture and the substantial feel of the stainless steel construction.
We invite you to explore our full range of ARMANI watches or visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience the AR11385 in person. Our specialist team can guide you through the collection and ensure the perfect fit before you leave.

FAQ
Q: Is the Emporio Armani AR11385 suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, this watch is designed for daily wear. The 30-metre water resistance protects against handwashing, rain, and accidental splashes, though it should not be worn while swimming or showering. The quartz movement requires minimal maintenance, and the mineral crystal provides good scratch resistance for normal use.
Q: What is the actual dial colour of this watch?
A: The dial features a white mother-of-pearl mosaic pattern that creates an iridescent effect. The natural material displays subtle shifts in colour and lustre depending on lighting conditions, ranging from soft whites to pale pinks and silvers. Each dial is unique due to the natural characteristics of mother-of-pearl.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. When you purchase the AR11385 from Cassims & Co., we provide complimentary bracelet sizing to ensure a perfect fit. Our experienced team at our Johannesburg showrooms can remove or add links as needed. For online purchases, we include sizing instructions, or you can visit us for professional adjustment.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?
A: A typical quartz watch battery lasts between 2-3 years, depending on usage patterns. When your AR11385 requires a battery replacement, our servicing team can perform this service using quality replacement cells. We recommend battery replacement by a professional to maintain the water resistance seal.
Q: What does the 2-year Armani warranty cover?
A: The international Armani warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. It does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacements, accidental damage, or water damage resulting from misuse. Always retain your proof of purchase for warranty claims.
Q: Is this watch too small at 32mm diameter?
A: The 32mm case size is ideal for ladies' watches and suits wrist sizes from petite to average. This classic diameter ensures the watch sits elegantly on the wrist without overwhelming smaller proportions. The visual impact is enhanced by the rose gold-tone finish and the eye-catching mother-of-pearl dial, making it a statement piece despite the modest dimensions.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or in the shower?
A: No, the 30-metre water resistance rating is splash-proof only and not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. This level of water resistance protects against rain, handwashing, and brief contact with water, but the watch should be removed before any water-based activities to prevent damage.

Care guide
- Remove your watch before showering, bathing, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as the 30-metre water resistance is splash-proof only.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or magnetic fields which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use mild soapy water and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is pushed in fully, then dry thoroughly.
- The mother-of-pearl dial is a natural material and should not be exposed to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or cosmetics, which can dull its lustre over time.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of weakening. Never leave a dead battery in the watch, as it can leak and cause internal damage.
- If the watch has not been worn for an extended period, have it checked by a professional before regular use to ensure water resistance seals remain intact.
- Avoid impact, dropping, or knocking the watch against hard surfaces, as this can damage the movement, crystal, or case finishing.
- Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports, heavy manual labour, or activities involving strong vibrations.
- Visit Cassims & Co. annually for a professional inspection to ensure all components are functioning correctly and water resistance is maintained.
