Armani Exchange (AX) watches tend to be styled differently to the mainstream as they are influenced by changing fashion trends rather than traditional watch designs. The AX Mens’ Ion Plated Black Bracelet Watch is brimming with a celebrity look and is particularly stylish for evening wear and going out. However, that is not to say that it could not fill business needs as a casual watch, as it is by no means garish or indulgent.
The fascia is constructed in stainless steel coated with black ion plating. Ion plating is one of the most sophisticated watch-construction techniques and results in a more dense and uniform finish. It also affords the watch considerable resistance to everyday wear as it creates a strength that traditional methods cannot achieve.
This AX manages to provide such durability without compromising style. Its large rectangular face makes a statement of power whilst the textured dial, with embossed number 9, adds a touch of class. Its showy exterior is reined in by the black finish which turns it into a more subtle item. The leather strap completes the effect and provides extra comfort in the process.
For those who want features on their watch, this is probably not the best choice. Indeed to access this market AX has made a chronograph model available that also includes a date display. Having said that, the AX Mens’ Ion Plated Black is water resistant to 50m so it would not be out of place in water sports should one desire.
Perhaps it’s greatest selling point is its affordability. It is rare to find such sophistication for under £100 and since it would make superb casual or evening wear, it would be an excellent choice for those on a tight budget.
