FAQs
What does 10 BAR water resistance mean?
10 BAR (or 100 meters) water resistance means the watch is suitable for everyday use, showering, and recreational swimming. It is not recommended for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports.
How do I set the time and date on my watch?
To set the time, pull the crown to the furthest position, adjust the hands, and push it back in. For the date, pull the crown to the first position, turn to adjust, and push back in. Refer to the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section for detailed steps.
How often does the battery need to be replaced?
Battery life varies, but typically a quartz watch battery lasts 2-3 years. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it's an indication that the battery needs replacement.
Can I replace the strap with a different one?
While technically possible, the watch comes with a specific multicolour stainless steel strap that is part of its design. Replacing it with a non-original strap might affect its aesthetic or fit. It's designed for durability and comfort.
How do I clean my watch?
Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used on the stainless steel, but ensure the crown is fully sealed and dry thoroughly afterwards. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is this watch suitable for professional diving?
No. Despite the 'Diver' series name, its 10 BAR water resistance is not sufficient for professional diving activities. It is designed for everyday wear and light water activities like swimming.
Troubleshooting
Watch is not running or hands are not moving.
Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If it is, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified watchmaker for battery service.
Date is not changing at midnight.
Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the issue persists, the date mechanism might need inspection by a watchmaker.
Chronograph hands are not resetting to zero.
Some quartz chronographs have a reset procedure. Pull the crown out to the time-setting position, then use the pushers (refer to a more detailed manual if available) to align the chronograph hands to their zero positions. Push the crown back in to save.
Condensation or fog under the crystal.
This indicates moisture ingress. Stop using the watch immediately and take it to a watch repair professional to prevent further damage to the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most from your Emporio Armani Diver Chronograph Watch involves proper initial setup and ongoing care.
Initial Setup
- Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown out to the furthest position (usually the second click).
- Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Setting the Date:
- Pull the crown out to the first position (usually the first click).
- Turn the crown (typically clockwise or counter-clockwise) to set the date.
- *Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM* as this can interfere with the date change mechanism.
- Push the crown back in completely.
- Strap Adjustment:
- The stainless steel strap measures 21 cm. For an optimal fit, you may need to have links removed by a professional jeweler or watch repair shop. This ensures comfort and prevents excessive movement on your wrist.
Compatibility
This watch is designed for general wrist wear and is compatible with various wrist sizes once adjusted. Its classic design complements a wide range of personal styles and wardrobes.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning:
- Regularly wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils.
- For stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure no water enters the watch if the crown is not fully sealed. Always dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Water Exposure:
- While water-resistant to 10 BAR, avoid exposing the watch to hot water (e.g., hot tubs, saunas) as temperature changes can compromise seals.
- Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure.
- Battery Replacement:
- The Quartz movement is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping (a low battery indicator on some watches), it's time for a replacement.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper re-sealing for water resistance.
- Storage:
- When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.
