“EMPORIO ARMANI” Late 90s-early 10s Art Deco rectangular leather strap watch

Established in 1981 by Giorgio Armani, EMPORIO ARMANI has continued to propose refined, urban elegance, reinterpreting Italy’s traditional tailoring through a modern sensibility. We are pleased to introduce this exquisite piece, where classical form and warmly hued color harmonize beautifully.

Centered on a dial dressed in a soft champagne gold tone, this watch features a glossy silver-colored rectangular case and a deep brown leather strap, creating an exquisite contrast. With its geometric design reminiscent of Art Deco, this piece—assumed to have been made from the late 1990s to the early 2010s—adds an elegant presence to your wrist.

First and foremost is the beautifully designed dial. Against a soft pink-beige backdrop, the champagne color is brought to life by bold Arabic numerals and delicate minute markers—striking a harmonious balance between the decorative charm of a classic timepiece and modern legibility.

In addition, an eagle logo that symbolizes the Maison is placed at the top of the dial. Beneath it, along with the brand name, it conveys a quiet but unmistakable identity. The hour and minute hands are also adorned with small circular accents, and the contrast with the straight indices creates a face that is meticulously composed down to every detail.

Particularly striking is the sculpted form of the 3D frame that surrounds the rectangular case. The combination of horizontal lines placed at the top and bottom and the smoothly contoured lugs lends a gentle sense of movement to the watch’s overall silhouette, which is otherwise defined by straight lines—allowing you to feel a jewelry-like, decorative beauty.

Another appeal lies in the glossy sheen of the silver-colored metal components. By accentuating the warm-toned dial, they express the dignity characteristic of a classic watch—without relying on extravagant decoration.

Meanwhile, the strap is made of embossed leather with a crocodile-scale pattern. The rich and varied browns, along with the textured, dimensional surface, add depth to the refined case design while guiding the overall look toward a calm, composed impression.

This watch is also believed to have been produced after EMPORIO ARMANI began its watch line in 1997. It shares key characteristics with designs seen in models from that era—such as the rectangular case and Art Deco-inspired dial—so you can feel the urban elegance the brand has proposed, even within the small canvas of a timepiece.

Above all, the special charm of this piece is that it combines the beauty of a classic dress watch with a firm sense of presence as a fashion accessory. By incorporating it subtly into your everyday outfit, it will add a refined impression to your overall styling.

This is an especially recommended piece not only for those seeking an accessory that balances decorative appeal with practicality, but also for those who value the warmth unique to vintage pieces and universal design that remains beloved across eras.

For styling, pairing it with a wool tailored jacket and slacks with a beautiful drape will create a look that lets you feel the Italian elegance cultivated by Armani. It also blends beautifully with softer styles such as silk blouses and long dresses, so regardless of gender, you can enjoy a classic, mode-inspired atmosphere right from your wrist.

Please consider this opportunity.
