The Emporio Armani AR11716 represents the epitome of Italian design sensibility meeting Swiss precision engineering. This distinguished quartz timepiece features a striking two-tone aesthetic that balances brushed stainless steel with warm yellow gold-tone ion-plated accents, creating a visual language that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening engagements. The round 41mm case strikes the ideal proportion for the modern gentleman, substantial enough to command presence without overwhelming the wrist.
A cream sunray dial forms the centrepiece of this composition, its radial guilloché texture catching and refracting light with every movement. Luminous yellow gold-tone stick indexes and matching hands ensure legibility, while a date window positioned at 6 o'clock adds functional utility. The dial's execution showcases Emporio Armani's commitment to refined detailing — clean, uncluttered, and unmistakably Italian in its restraint. The yellow gold-tone bezel frames the dial with architectural precision, its polished finish contrasting beautifully against the brushed steel case body.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, this timepiece delivers Swiss accuracy without the maintenance demands of mechanical calibres. The two-tone stainless steel bracelet features a three-link construction with a butterfly deployment clasp, integrating the same yellow gold-tone centre links that echo the bezel treatment. At 20mm lug width, the bracelet sits perfectly proportioned to the case, while the tapering to 18mm at the clasp ensures a refined fit on the wrist. Mineral crystal protects the dial from everyday wear, and the watch offers practical water resistance for daily confidence.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The Emporio Armani AR11716 is designed for daily use, combining practical quartz reliability with a versatile two-tone finish that pairs equally well with business attire and casual wear. The mineral crystal and 30m water resistance provide protection for everyday activities, though we recommend removing the watch before showering or swimming.
Q: What wrist size does this bracelet accommodate?
A: The two-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally adjusted to fit most wrist sizes. Our team at Cassims & Co. offers complimentary sizing at the time of purchase to ensure a perfect fit. If purchasing online, we can adjust the bracelet before dispatch — simply include your wrist measurement in the order notes.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require battery replacement?
A: A typical quartz battery lasts approximately 2-3 years under normal use. When replacement becomes necessary, our authorised service team can install a genuine battery and pressure-test the case to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Does the two-tone finish require special care?
A: The yellow gold-tone ion-plated elements are durable, but we recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasives, and prolonged contact with chlorine or salt water to preserve the finish. Regular gentle cleaning with a soft cloth will maintain its lustre.
Q: Is this watch delivered in original Emporio Armani packaging?
A: Yes. Every AR11716 purchased from Cassims & Co. arrives in complete original Emporio Armani presentation packaging, including the brand warranty card, instruction booklet, and protective case — ready for gifting or personal collection.
Q: Can I see this watch in person before purchasing?
A: Certainly. The AR11716 is available to view and try on at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg. Our team can demonstrate the watch's features and ensure the fit is exactly right for you. Walk-ins welcome, or contact us to arrange a dedicated appointment.
Q: What happens if the watch requires service during the warranty period?
A: As an authorised Emporio Armani retailer, we facilitate all warranty claims directly with the brand. Manufacturing defects covered under warranty are repaired or replaced at no charge. Simply bring the watch and warranty card to our boutique, and we'll handle the process on your behalf.
Warranty
- This Emporio Armani watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase, valid worldwide when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, including movement malfunctions and manufacturing flaws in the case, dial, hands, or bracelet.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, dings, or deterioration of plated finishes through regular use.
- Battery replacement, strap or bracelet wear, and routine maintenance are not covered under warranty.
- Water damage resulting from misuse — such as operating the crown underwater, exceeding the stated water resistance, or failure to maintain seals — is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, improper handling, unauthorised repairs, or modifications voids the warranty entirely.
- To make a warranty claim, present the watch along with the original warranty card and proof of purchase at our Mall of the South boutique. We will facilitate the claim directly with Emporio Armani on your behalf.
- Warranty service may require the watch to be sent to an authorised service centre. Turnaround times vary depending on the nature of the repair.
Care Guide
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and perspiration that can dull the finish over time.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, including chlorine, perfumes, cosmetics, and household cleaners, as these may damage the ion-plated gold-tone finish and seals.
- Remove the watch before showering, bathing, or swimming. The 30m water resistance is designed for incidental splashes, not immersion or water sports.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet, as moisture may enter the case and damage the movement.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. The original box provides ideal protection.
- Avoid impact and magnetic fields. While quartz movements are robust, strong shocks or proximity to magnets can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre to ensure proper sealing and continued water resistance.
- If the bracelet requires adjustment or deep cleaning, visit our boutique rather than attempting alterations yourself — improper removal of links can damage the bracelet or void warranty coverage.
