Armani Watch AR0585 -- 2nd Purchase

Welcome Back, Armani AR0585

I took the plunge and repurchased the Armani AR0585—a model I used to own years ago and regretted selling. It served as the perfect beater watch, and I was lucky to find it again at about the same price I sold it for, but in even better condition! For $65, this watch is an absolute steal. It’s a shame that Armani doesn’t produce watches like this anymore.

Specifications

  • Dial Size: 43mm
  • Lug Width: 23mm
  • Movement: Quartz (Miyota OS20)
  • Battery: SR927W (equivalent to 395/399)
  • Chronograph: 3 registers at 3, 6, and 9 dial positions
  • Water Resistance: 5 ATM (50 meters)
  • Material: Stainless steel with a deployment clasp
  • Comparable Model: AR0527 (features a rubber strap instead of a metal bracelet)

Domed vs. Flat Crystal

One of the standout features of the AR0585 is its domed crystal. While this design makes it more vulnerable to chips and scratches from hard surfaces, I find that the aesthetic appeal of a domed crystal is unmatched.

  • Visual Appeal: The curvature of the crystal adds a captivating element that enhances the watch’s overall look, setting it apart in its price range.
  • Weight Class: This watch truly hits above its weight class in terms of style and quality, especially considering its affordability.

Conclusion

Overall, I’m thrilled to have the Armani AR0585 back in my collection. It perfectly balances style and functionality, making it a fantastic addition to any watch enthusiast's lineup.
