Armani Auto watch

[IS200RJR]

Can anyone tell me what auto movement is used in these watches.
This is the watch that i am looking at EMPORIO ARMANI MECCANICO AUTO ROSE GOLD MEN'S - AR4213

All the Google results come back with a quartz.

Found it on the Goldsmiths Website:

but also on this other website- not sure yet if they're any good:

Any info would be great

Looks like an ETA (from the shape of the rotor). Annoyingly, they've got it so the rotor covers the balance wheel and bridge, so all you see is a boring plate.

Looks lovely though. In my mind Armani have the rectangular dial market cornered - they look brilliant. Have asked for this for my birthday from the missus:



Do wish they did it in an auto though...

Can't find one (have been searching for a while). Has to be simple (non-chrono) and have the bronzed face with a non-gold case, brown leather strap.
Sorry if that's a bit specific, but it needs to be otherwise it'll be the same as about 15 others in my collection!

I prefer the JLC Reverso myself.

I find them to be a bit small for modern tastes. Slight price difference as well!

Agreed on the price difference, but there's a big range of sizes, from the original Reverso, to the Grande Taille versions, to the Squadra range. The Squadra is far too big for my taste, the original Reverso a bit effeminate but the GT size (same as the Gran Sport range, which has been discontinued) is just about perfect for me.

If you want bigger than the Squadra, then fair enough How about Bell & Ross?

at the price point they are highly unlikely to be ETA movements, probably chinese copy, not £379 for a subseconds date and Power reserve.

Ah, didn't know about the Squadra, have only ever seen the GT size, which I think is still a bit small. In fact I've only ever seen one of those as well, it was on a weird blue strap and just looked all wrong. Have seen lots of the originals as well, which is where my comment came from. They are small, and I think these days really a women's size.

Not that I'm averse to a small watch. One of my favourites I have is an Omega at 32mm...
