Design & Craftsmanship

Italian Runway Tailoring & The 43mm Gold-Tone Silhouette

Conceived under the design direction of the Giorgio Armani fashion house, the Archetipo series explores the balance between clean architectural lines and functional sporting utility . Measuring 43.00 mm in diameter with a thickness of approximately 11.50 mm, reference AR11822 establishes an authoritative silhouette on the wrist . Forged from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel, the case is treated with a warm yellow gold-tone ion plating (PVD) . The stepped, mirror-polished bezel catches the light, while the satin-brushed case flanks create depth and resist superficial scuffs . Flanked by dual pump-style chronograph pushers, the fluted crown sits comfortably against the case wall, proportioned for quick tactile time adjustment .

Sunray Brown Dial, Chronograph Sub-Dials & Gold Accents

The dial architecture brings together rich chromatic warmth and multi-register complexity . Treated with an ultra-fine radial sunburst grain radiating from the center pinion, the chocolate-brown dial reflects ambient light from luminous caramel reflections to deep espresso tones . Applied gold-toned faceted baton hour markers delineate the hours, while three recessed sub-registers display chronograph elapsed minutes, small running seconds, and a 24-hour time readout . Polished gold-toned baton hands sweep across the dial face, accompanied by a quickset date aperture that provides everyday scheduling convenience without disrupting dial harmony . The dial is shielded by a scratch-resistant mineral crystal that delivers distortion-free clarity .

Japanese Quartz Precision & Supple Calfskin Leather Comfort

At the functional core of the Archetipo Chronograph is a dependable Japanese quartz movement . Operating with quartz crystal oscillation, this battery-powered calibre delivers chronometric accuracy within seconds per month, ensuring reliable timekeeping without daily winding . The watch is paired with a tailored 22 mm genuine calfskin leather strap in deep dark brown, finished with tonal perimeter stitching . Secured by a matching gold-tone stainless steel single-prong buckle, the strap provides a soft, breathable fit that contours naturally to the wrist for all-day comfort.
