FAQ
Q: What movement powers the Emporio Armani AR11749?
A: The AR11749 is powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, offering accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance requirements. Quartz movements are known for their precision and only require battery replacement every 2-3 years under normal usage conditions.
Q: Is the AR11749 suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: With 50 metres (5 ATM) water resistance, the AR11749 can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water such as handwashing or accidental submersion. However, it is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering, as these activities can exceed the pressure rating and potentially compromise the seal integrity.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the leather strap features a standard 20mm lug width, making it compatible with aftermarket replacement straps if desired. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with professional strap changes and sizing adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and fit on your wrist.
Q: What is the case size and will it suit smaller wrists?
A: The 41mm case diameter with 13mm thickness represents a versatile mid-sized profile that suits wrist circumferences from approximately 15cm to 20cm. The relatively short lug-to-lug distance ensures the watch sits comfortably even on narrower wrists without overhanging.
Q: Does this watch come with an Emporio Armani warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Emporio Armani retailer, Cassims & Co. supplies the AR11749 with a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is activated from your date of purchase and requires retention of the original receipt and warranty card.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Under normal usage conditions, the quartz battery typically lasts 2-3 years. When replacement becomes necessary, our watch servicing team at Cassims & Co. can perform battery changes using quality replacement cells, pressure testing the case seal to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The Dario AR11749's clean three-hand layout, polished stainless steel case, and sophisticated green dial make it an excellent choice for formal and business settings. The leather strap enhances the dress watch aesthetic whilst remaining versatile enough for smart-casual wear.
Warranty
- This Emporio Armani AR11749 watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when acquired from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions, case defects, and crystal flaws that arise under normal usage conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or strap, nor does it cover deterioration of leather straps, which are considered consumable components.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are consumable items with a finite operational lifespan typically ranging from 2-3 years.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating the crown underwater, exceeding the stated water resistance rating, or failure to properly reseat the crown after adjustment, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impact damage, unauthorised modifications, repairs performed by non-authorised service centres, and damage resulting from improper use or care are not covered.
- To validate warranty claims, you must present the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card. Register your purchase details upon acquisition to facilitate any future warranty service.
- Warranty service must be performed through authorised Emporio Armani service centres. Contact Cassims & Co. to initiate any warranty claims, and we will coordinate the appropriate service procedure.
- The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser from an authorised retailer.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and leather strap regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils that can degrade the leather over time.
- Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond occasional splashes, as the 5 ATM rating is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. Remove the watch before these activities.
- Keep the leather strap away from prolonged moisture exposure, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures, all of which can cause premature cracking, fading, or deterioration.
- When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, ideally in its original presentation box or a dedicated watch storage solution.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops or exhibits erratic timekeeping behaviour. Leaving a depleted battery in the movement can cause leakage and internal corrosion.
- We recommend having the watch professionally inspected every 2-3 years during battery replacement to verify case seal integrity and water resistance performance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields from speakers, laptops, or magnetic clasps, as these can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the manufacturer warranty and may compromise the water-resistant seal. Always seek professional service from authorised technicians.
- Clean the leather strap periodically with specialised leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking, applying sparingly with a soft cloth.
- When adjusting the time or date, pull the crown out gently to the required position rather than forcing it, and ensure it is pushed fully back in and, if applicable, screwed down after adjustment.
