Emporio Armani Watches

Born in 1981 with a first boutique in Milan, Giorgio Armani's Emporio Armani line marks its dials with a stylised eagle: steel, Ceramica ceramic and open-heart Meccanico automatics. Our Emporio Armani watches are new, authentic and come with a 2-year warranty, offered at outlet prices.

Our Emporio Armani expertise

History & brand DNA

Giorgio Armani founded his house in 1975, then launched Emporio Armani in 1981, a younger line whose first boutique opened in Milan. Its emblem, a stylised eagle with striated wings bearing the initials GA, decorates the brand's dials. The watch line began in 1997, the year the Armani group partnered with Fossil Group: since then, Fossil Group has designed and distributed Emporio Armani watches under licence, as it does for Armani Exchange. This licence currently runs until the end of 2027. The style remains that of the house: clean lines, legible dials, and steel, ceramic and leather.

Iconic models

In our sales, one shape stands out: the rectangular Classic with large Roman numerals sells faster than any other, in men's (AR0154, brown croc-effect leather) and women's (AR0146, steel bracelet), although it remains scarce in our stock. On the men's side, the Luigi line sells best, with the all-black AR11349 chronograph, one of our most requested models, and skeleton-dial automatics. White Ceramica models sell far faster than black ones. For women, the small Gianni T-Bar, attached to the strap by a T-bar, forms the heart of the selection, in steel, two-tone or rose gold.

What we check before dispatch

Our men's Emporio Armani watches mostly range from 41 to 46 mm, with 43 mm the most common; yet the 41 and 42 mm sizes sell best, discreet under a shirt cuff. Women's models tend to sit around 32 mm, with 28 mm Gianni models for slender wrists. Almost all run on quartz; the Meccanico and some Luigi are automatic, with an open dial revealing the movement. Our listings state 5 ATM for most men's models (rain, handwashing, occasional surface swimming) and 3 ATM for the majority of women's models (splashes only). To spot a genuine piece: the eagle on the dial is crisp, the wings are evenly striated and the GA initials are legible; the EMPORIO ARMANI line is straight and centred; on a chronograph, every subdial works; and the caseback bears the model's AR reference engraved in a circle, which must match our listing.

Why buy at outlet prices?

Every Emporio Armani we sell is new, authentic and comes with a 2-year warranty, at outlet prices. Our size and colour advice is based on what our customers actually choose, not on a catalogue: this is how the rectangular Classic and the white Ceramica earned their place on this page.

Frequently asked questions: Emporio Armani

+Who makes 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.

+Which Emporio Armani watch size should I choose?

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.

+Are Emporio Armani watches waterproof?

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.

+What is the difference between Emporio Armani and Armani Exchange?

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.

+How do I tell a genuine Emporio Armani watch?

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.
