Emporio Armani World Explorer 43mm Chronograph Blue Dial Silicone Mens Solar Watch AR11696

The Emporio Armani World Explorer AR11696 is a modern men’s chronograph designed with sporty functionality and explorer-inspired styling. Combining solar-powered technology with a bold blue-and-orange colour scheme, this model delivers practical everyday performance while maintaining the refined aesthetic of the World Explorer collection.

Its 43mm stainless steel case features a combination of brushed and polished finishes that create a robust and contemporary appearance on the wrist. The dark blue silicone strap enhances comfort and flexibility, giving the watch a more sporty and versatile feel suitable for active daily wear.

The blue sunray dial is accented with orange detailing that reinforces the watch’s performance-inspired design language. Its multi-subdial chronograph layout adds technical character while providing practical stopwatch functionality. Luminous hands and baton indexes improve readability in darker environments, while the tachymeter scale around the outer dial enhances the sporty aesthetic. Positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock is a practical date display integrated cleanly into the chronograph layout.

Powered by a solar quartz chronograph movement, the AR11696 converts both natural and artificial light into stored energy, reducing the need for regular battery replacements. When fully charged, the movement can operate for approximately five months without additional light exposure.

The watch is protected by sapphire crystal for enhanced scratch resistance and long-term clarity. With 100 metres / 10 ATM water resistance, the AR11696 is suitable for swimming, snorkelling and everyday water exposure while maintaining its sleek sporty profile.
