The Emporio Armani Luigi AR2500 is a distinguished timepiece that embodies refined Italian design and reliable Swiss-made quartz precision. Housed in a polished stainless steel case measuring 43mm in diameter, this men's watch features a striking black dial with applied silver-toned hour markers and a date window positioned at 3 o'clock. The minimalist aesthetic is elevated by the iconic Emporio Armani eagle logo at 12 o'clock, while the slender hands and clean dial layout ensure optimal legibility in any setting.
Crafted for the modern gentleman who values both style and substance, the AR2500 is finished with a textured black leather strap featuring an embossed crocodile pattern and a stainless steel buckle clasp. The mineral crystal protects the dial from everyday wear, and the watch offers 50 metres of water resistance, making it suitable for daily wear and incidental water exposure. As an authorised retailer of ARMANI watches, we guarantee the authenticity and quality of every timepiece we offer.

FAQ
Q: Is the Emporio Armani Luigi AR2500 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, the AR2500 is suitable for everyday wear and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or showering, as the leather strap should not be submerged and the water resistance rating is designed for incidental contact only.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The AR2500 is powered by a reliable quartz movement, which provides accurate timekeeping and requires minimal maintenance. You will need to replace the battery approximately every 2-3 years, depending on usage. Our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with battery replacements when required.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the 22mm leather strap can be replaced with any compatible 22mm strap if you wish to personalise the look. The strap features a traditional buckle clasp that can be adjusted to fit wrist sizes from 15cm to 23cm. Our boutique team can assist with strap sizing and replacements.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Emporio Armani warranty?
A: Absolutely. As an authorised Emporio Armani retailer, every AR2500 purchased from Cassim & Co. includes the full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase.
Q: What is the case diameter and will it suit a smaller wrist?
A: The AR2500 features a 43mm case diameter, which is considered a versatile mid-sized case suitable for most wrist sizes. The relatively slim profile and clean dial design prevent the watch from appearing oversized, making it appropriate for wrists from approximately 16cm upwards. We recommend visiting our boutique to try it on for the perfect fit assessment.
Q: Is this watch appropriate for formal occasions?
A: Yes, the Luigi AR2500 is an excellent choice for formal and business settings. The black dial, stainless steel case, and textured black leather strap create a sophisticated aesthetic that pairs beautifully with suits and formal attire, while remaining versatile enough for smart-casual wear.
Q: How do I care for the leather strap?
A: To preserve the leather strap, avoid exposure to water, perfumes, and lotions. Wipe the strap gently with a dry cloth after wear to remove perspiration and oils. Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not wearing it. With proper care, the leather strap will develop a distinguished patina over time while maintaining its structural integrity.

Care Guide
- Water Exposure: Avoid submerging the watch or exposing the leather strap to water. Remove before swimming, showering, or water sports.
- Leather Strap Care: Keep the leather strap dry and clean. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove perspiration and oils. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and solvents.
- Crystal Cleaning: Clean the mineral crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Case Maintenance: Wipe the stainless steel case with a soft cloth to maintain its polished finish. Avoid impact with hard surfaces.

- Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields. Use the original box or a watch case when not wearing.
- Regular Servicing: While quartz watches require minimal maintenance, we recommend a periodic check-up every 3-5 years to ensure water resistance seals and movement performance.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
