The Emporio Armani AR11747 Dario chronograph embodies contemporary Italian design meets precision timekeeping. This 42mm stainless steel timepiece showcases a refined blue sunray dial that shifts elegantly in changing light, complemented by a matching blue leather strap for a cohesive, sophisticated aesthetic. The watch features a quartz chronograph movement with date display and 24-hour subdial, offering practical complications for the modern wearer who values both style and functionality.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of ARMANI watches, ensuring every timepiece we supply is genuine and backed by full manufacturer warranty. The AR11747's round stainless steel case measures 14mm in thickness, striking an ideal balance between presence and wearability beneath a shirt cuff. Two chronograph subdials flank the dial at 10 and 2 o'clock positions, while the date window sits prominently at 6 o'clock, providing essential daily functionality.
Finished with a polished stainless steel case and fitted to a 20mm blue leather strap, this Emporio Armani chronograph delivers Italian fashion-forward design with Swiss-inspired technical execution. Water-resistant to 50 metres, the AR11747 is suitable for everyday wear, withstanding splashes and brief immersion. The iconic Emporio Armani eagle logo sits proudly at 12 o'clock, a mark of quality and design heritage recognised worldwide.

Should you require any future maintenance, our watch servicing and repairs team provides comprehensive after-sales support including battery replacements, strap changes, and adjustments to ensure your timepiece maintains its precision for years to come.

FAQ
Q: Is the Emporio Armani AR11747 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres water resistance, this watch is suitable for splashes, hand washing, and brief immersion but is not recommended for swimming or diving. For aquatic activities, we recommend timepieces with a minimum of 100 metres water resistance.
Q: What battery does this watch use and how long does it last?
A: The AR11747 uses a standard quartz battery that typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage, particularly chronograph function frequency. We offer battery replacement services at our Mall of the South boutique with same-day turnaround in most cases.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced?
A: Yes, the 20mm leather strap can be replaced with any standard 20mm watch strap. We stock a range of leather and fabric straps and can fit these for you in-store, or you may source aftermarket options that suit your style preference.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The chronograph is operated via pushers on the case side. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets the counters to zero. We recommend consulting the instruction manual or visiting our boutique for a demonstration of all functions.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The refined blue dial, stainless steel case, and leather strap create a versatile aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from business meetings to evening events. The 42mm case size offers contemporary proportions suitable for most wrist sizes.
Q: Does Cassim & Co. offer nationwide delivery?
A: Yes, we offer secure nationwide delivery across South Africa. All watches are fully insured during transit and require signature upon delivery. Delivery typically takes 2-3 business days to major centres.

Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and leather strap with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove perspiration and oils.
- Avoid exposing the leather strap to water, perfumes, cosmetics, and direct sunlight, as these can cause discolouration and premature wear.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet, as moisture may enter the case.
- Although water-resistant to 50 metres, this watch is not suitable for swimming or showering. Remove before water-based activities.
- Store your watch in its presentation box when not in use, away from extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, and direct sunlight.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or the second hand begins jumping. Do not leave a depleted battery in the watch.
- If the leather strap becomes stiff or shows signs of wear, have it replaced promptly to prevent damage to the watch case.
- We recommend a complete service check every 3-4 years to ensure gaskets remain effective and the movement functions correctly.
- Avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps, as this can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Polish marks and light scratches on the stainless steel case can be addressed through our professional polishing service.
