Emporio Armani AR11239 Tachymeter Quartz Men’s Watch

Believe it or not, it was going to be my grandfather’s 92^nd birthday in about two weeks. Granted, he is no longer sprightly as he once was and given his age, he does have medical issues and memory issues but overall, for a man of 92, he is still going grate guns. He goes for evening walks albeit a slow one with a walking stick but yea, he still moves around on his own.

My grandfather was retired as the head of a railway shed. This was the place where they serviced steam engines. They still have a couple of them running for the tourist. My grandfather had a watch that looked somewhat identical to the Emporio Armani AR11239 Tachymeter Quartz Men’s Watch. I have no idea what brand it is because the brand name is almost invisible and my grandfather himself can’t remember what it was. He has no recollection of how old it is “probably half as old as I am” he said and laughed it off.

A couple of years back, that watch started slowing down and since the spare part of not available, it could not be repaired. So, one of us would adjust it every day. Last year we tried to gift him a simple Tissot but he refused to wear it saying that he preferred and liked his old watch.

Since then, I’ve been searching the net for a watch that looked kind of similar to the one he had. My search led me to this site and finally to this page here: https://www.zetawatches.com/shop/emporio-armani-ar11239-tachymeter-quartz-mens-watch/

The dial of the Emporio Armani AR11239 Tachymeter Quartz Men’s Watch is kind of coppery in colour – which gives it the appearance of a very aged kind of watch. The design of the dial face itself is also kind of aged and adds to the vintage look as do the hour markers and even the watch hands.

The Emporio Armani AR11239 Tachymeter Quartz Men’s Watch has two sub-dials. The one of the right side displays the time in 24 hour format. The one on the left side is the stop watch. There is a narrow date window at the 6’Oclock position. The total appearance is vintage and I was sure my grandfather would love it. But just to be sure, I took my mobile phone to him and showed him the watch and asked him what he felt. “Oh, this is just like mine, is this from an old movie?” he asked. I knew he would wear it. The Emporio Armani AR11239 Tachymeter Quartz Men’s Watch comes in a silver like case and bracelet.

To cut the story short, after the birthday celebrations, I saw my grandfather began to wear the new watch. He is under the impression we bought it at an auction of movie items. The watch cost me just $270 and I bought it from https://www.zetawatches.com/shop/emporio-armani-ar11239-tachymeter-quartz-mens-watch/. We no longer need to adjust the time. We are happy and so is my grandfather. Thank you Emporio.
