FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The quartz movement requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement, and the 30-metre water resistance protects against hand washing, rain, and incidental splashes. The gold-tone stainless steel construction is durable and resistant to tarnishing, making it ideal for daily wear.
Q: What makes the oval case shape distinctive?
A: Oval cases are less common than traditional round designs, offering a vintage-inspired elegance that stands out on the wrist. The 26mm × 34mm proportions provide a flattering vertical emphasis that suits smaller wrists whilst maintaining presence and sophistication.
Q: How do I adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist?
A: Our workshop can professionally size the bracelet to your wrist at the time of purchase. Links can be removed or added as needed to ensure a comfortable, secure fit. We recommend visiting our boutique for precise sizing, though nationwide customers can contact us for sizing guidance.
Q: What does the sunray dial finish refer to?
A: The sunray finish on the grey dial creates a radial brushed pattern emanating from the centre, producing a subtle light play effect as the watch moves. This finish adds depth and visual interest, particularly noticeable in natural lighting conditions.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes. As an authorised Emporio Armani retailer, we provide a 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty is valid worldwide when purchased from authorised dealers and includes coverage for movement and case integrity.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming?
A: The 30-metre water resistance rating is suitable for splashes and brief immersion only, not swimming or bathing. We recommend removing the watch before showering, swimming, or any water sports to maintain the seal integrity and prevent moisture ingress.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last 2-3 years depending on usage patterns. Our servicing team can replace the battery whilst conducting a pressure test to verify water resistance remains intact, ensuring your watch continues performing optimally.
