Fit on 6–7 in wrists (6.5 in reference)
Fit: Low risk on a 6.5 in wrist. The scored length is 43 mm lug-to-lug from E.C. Andersson’s Cpt page. The 10.4 mm thickness is under 13 mm, so it doesn’t move the result.
The flat top of the wrist (usable span) is the width a watch can sit on without its lugs hanging over the edge.
| Wrist (approx.) | Lug-to-lug | Thickness | Fit note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.0 in (152 mm) | 43 mm | 10.4 mm | Moderate risk: 43 mm is close to the flat top of a 6 in wrist (about 44.6 mm). |
| 6.5 in (165 mm) — reference | 43 mm | 10.4 mm | Low risk: 43 mm is under 90% of the flat top of a 6.5 in wrist (about 48.3 mm). |
| 7.0 in (178 mm) | 43 mm | 10.4 mm | Low risk: 43 mm is under 90% of the flat top of a 7 in wrist (about 52.1 mm). |
