The ellesse Aria W03-00856-005 pairs a brown dial with a rose gold bracelet in a 34mm round case — the warmest combination in the collection, and the only one that puts a colour on a fully plated bracelet. Brown is an uncommon dial colour on a women's watch, which is most of the argument for it: it looks considered rather than chosen from a standard palette, and it sits naturally beside rose gold because the two are neighbours on the warm end of the spectrum. Founded in Perugia in 1959, ellesse built its name on Italian sportswear that never looked like sportswear, and the Aria is the line where that translates into a working everyday watch.
What separates the Aria from a plain three-hander is the multi-function movement. The dial carries additional indications alongside the hours and minutes, which is the difference between a watch you read and a watch you use.
At 34mm across and 8.45mm thick, the case is the mainstream women's size: large enough to read at a glance, small enough to stay proportionate on a slim wrist. Mineral glass protects the dial, and it is water resistant to 3 ATM — rain and handwashing rather than swimming.

Why You'll Love It
- Brown is rare on a women's watch, and that is the point — it reads as a deliberate choice rather than a default one.
- Brown and rose gold are neighbours on the warm spectrum, so the dial and bracelet reinforce each other instead of competing.
- This is the only Aria that puts a colour on a fully plated bracelet. Everything else in the line is either a colour on steel or a metal on metal.
- A multi-function dial gives you more than the time without adding bulk — the extra indications sit within the same case rather than demanding a bigger one.
- 34mm is the size that suits the widest range of wrists. It reads clearly without dominating, which is exactly why it has been the default women's case size for decades.
- It works with tan and camel accessories in a way that a steel or white-dial watch simply doesn't.
- At 8.45mm the case stays slim for a multi-function watch, where the extra indications usually add height.
- The quartz movement runs on a battery and needs no winding, so it keeps accurate time whether you wear it daily or once a fortnight.
- 316L stainless steel is the same grade used in far more expensive watches — it resists corrosion and holds its finish against daily wear.
- An 18mm bracelet width means straps are easy to source if you ever want to change the look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does multi-function mean on a watch?
A multi-function movement drives additional indications on the dial alongside the hours and minutes, usually shown on small sub-dials. It gives you more information at a glance than a standard three-hand watch, without needing a larger case.
How big is the Aria on the wrist?
The case is 34mm across and 8.45mm thick. That is the mainstream women's size — large enough to read easily and to carry a multi-function dial, small enough to stay proportionate on a slim wrist.
How does the -005 differ from the other Aria references?
The watch is the same throughout — identical case, glass, movement, size and water resistance. The -001 and -002 have coloured dials, light pink and dark blue, on a plain silver bracelet. The -003 mixes silver with light rose gold under a silver white dial. The -004 is light rose gold across both dial and bracelet. The -005 is the only one pairing a colour with a fully plated bracelet: a brown dial on rose gold.
Is a brown dial hard to wear?
Less than you might expect. Brown behaves like a warm neutral — it works with cream, camel, olive and denim, and it pairs naturally with tan leather. What it does not do is sit quietly next to cool greys and silver jewellery, so it suits a warm-toned wardrobe rather than a cool one.
How does the Aria differ from the Tiana?
They are separate collections, not colourways of each other. The Aria is a 34mm round multi-function watch on an 18mm bracelet. The Tiana is a compact 19.2mm by 26.4mm square three-hand watch on a 12mm bracelet. The Aria is the everyday watch with more on the dial; the Tiana is the petite dress watch.
Can I swim or shower with this watch?
No. At 3 ATM the Aria handles rain, handwashing and everyday splashes, but it is not rated for swimming, showering or submersion. Hot water and steam should be avoided in particular.
Can the bracelet be resized?
Yes. The 18mm 316L stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit at any City Chain Singapore store. Bring the watch in and it will be sized while you wait.
Can I fit a different strap?
Yes. The lugs take an 18mm strap, which is one of the most widely available widths, so leather, mesh and fabric options are easy to source. A tan or brown leather strap suits this dial particularly well. Any City Chain store can fit one for you.
What does 316L stainless steel mean?
316L is a marine-grade stainless steel with higher corrosion resistance than the more common 304 grade. On a watch bracelet it means better resistance to perspiration and moisture, and less risk of skin irritation.
Is mineral glass durable?
Mineral glass is heat-treated for hardness and handles everyday contact well — desk edges, door frames, jewellery. It is more scratch-resistant than acrylic and more shatter-resistant than sapphire, though sapphire resists scratches better still.
When does the battery need replacing?
Quartz watch batteries typically run for several years depending on use. When the watch stops or begins losing time, bring it to any City Chain outlet for replacement — doing it in-store keeps the case seal intact.
Who is ellesse?
ellesse is an Italian brand founded in Perugia in 1959 by Leonardo Servadio, the name taken from his initials. It began in skiwear and expanded through tennis and lifestyle over the following decades. City Chain holds the licence to design and sell watches under the ellesse name.
Does the Aria work as a gift?
It does if you know the recipient's wardrobe leans warm. Brown and rose gold is a specific choice rather than a safe one — if you are not sure, the two-tone -003 covers more ground.
