The Emporio Armani AR11748 is a refined expression of contemporary Italian design, blending minimalist aesthetics with precision quartz timekeeping. Part of the Dario collection, this 41mm timepiece features a striking sunburst blue dial that catches the light beautifully, creating depth and visual interest across its clean, uncluttered face. The polished stainless steel case and integrated bracelet deliver a seamless, sophisticated profile that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening wear.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Emporio Armani timepieces, ensuring every watch comes with full manufacturer warranty and provenance. The AR11748 is powered by a reliable quartz movement, offering exceptional accuracy with minimal maintenance requirements. The date window positioned at 6 o'clock provides practical functionality without disrupting the dial's balanced symmetry, while applied silver-tone indices and hands ensure excellent legibility in all lighting conditions.
Water resistance to 50 metres means this timepiece can handle daily exposure to moisture, making it suitable for handwashing and light splashes, though not recommended for swimming or diving. The blue sunburst dial is a signature feature, radiating outward from the centre to create a dynamic visual effect that shifts with changing light.

FAQ
Q: What type of movement powers the Emporio Armani AR11748?
A: This watch is powered by a precision quartz movement, offering exceptional accuracy and reliability with minimal maintenance requirements. Quartz movements are known for their precision, typically varying by only a few seconds per month, and require a battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years depending on usage.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: The AR11748 has a water resistance rating of 50 metres (5 ATM), which makes it suitable for everyday moisture exposure such as handwashing and light splashes. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports. For aquatic activities, a watch with at least 100 metres water resistance is advisable.
Q: What is the case size and will it suit my wrist?
A: The case measures 41mm in diameter with a thickness of 13mm, which is considered a versatile mid-size that suits most wrist sizes. This dimension provides substantial presence without being overly large, making it ideal for wrists ranging from 15cm to 19cm in circumference. We recommend visiting our boutique for a personal fitting to ensure optimal comfort.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally adjusted by removing or adding links to achieve a perfect fit. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with every purchase, ensuring your watch fits comfortably from day one. We can also advise on optimal fit for both comfort and aesthetics.
Q: What warranty comes with this Emporio Armani watch?
A: As an authorised Emporio Armani retailer, we provide a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty with this timepiece. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and is valid worldwide when purchased from an authorised dealer such as Cassim & Co.
Q: How do I care for the blue sunburst dial?
A: The sunburst dial finish is protected beneath mineral crystal and requires no special care beyond normal watch maintenance. To maintain its beauty, avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or solvents. Clean the crystal periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and maintain optimal clarity.
Q: Does Cassim & Co. offer delivery across South Africa?
A: Yes, we offer secure nationwide delivery across South Africa. Your watch will be carefully packaged and fully insured during transit. Alternatively, you can collect your purchase from our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where we can perform final sizing adjustments and provide a personal handover experience.

- Water Exposure: With 50m water resistance, avoid submersion, swimming, or showering with this watch. Remove before any water activities beyond handwashing.

- Service Intervals: We recommend a professional service every 3-4 years to maintain optimal performance, including movement inspection, seal replacement, and water resistance testing.
