Emporio Armani Watches

Emporio Armani watches are designed and distributed by Fossil Group, under licence from the Armani group, since the launch of the watch line in 1997. The current licence runs until the end of 2027 and also covers Armani Exchange.

For men, 43 mm is our most common size, but 41 and 42 mm sell best as they stay discreet under a shirt cuff. 46 mm suits broad wrists. For women, 32 mm is the benchmark for the Gianni T-Bar and 28 mm suits slender wrists; the narrower Classic rectangles wear like a dress watch.

They are water resistant but are not diving watches. Our listings most often state 5 ATM for men's models, which covers rain, handwashing and occasional surface swimming, and 3 ATM for the majority of women's models, which covers splashes only. The exact rating is shown on each listing.

These are two separate lines within the Armani group, both designed and distributed under licence by Fossil Group. Emporio Armani, launched in 1981, carries the eagle on its dials and, with us, includes Ceramica, Meccanico automatics and Classic rectangles. Armani Exchange, launched in 1991, has its own page on our site.

Check the eagle on the dial: wings evenly striated, GA initials legible, crisp printing. The EMPORIO ARMANI line should be straight and centred, and on a chronograph every subdial should work. On the caseback, the engraved AR reference must match the one on the listing. All our watches are new, authentic and come with a 2-year warranty.
