Fit on 6–7 in wrists (6.5 in reference)
Fit: Moderate risk on a 6.5 in wrist. The scored length is 42 mm from “42mm lug to lug” on the five colourway pages. That length is under 90% of the flat top of a 6.5 in wrist. The scored thickness is 13.35 mm from “13.35mm thick” on those pages. 13.35 mm is over 13 mm, so it moves that Low result up one level. Fratello (1 June 2026, third-party) prints “45mm lug-to-lug” and “12.5mm profile”. Those Fratello figures are not the scored length or thickness. The Oddball pages don’t print lug-to-lug or thickness.
The flat top of the wrist (usable span) is the width a watch can sit on without its lugs hanging over the edge.

| 6.0 in (152 mm) | 42 mm | 13.35 mm | High risk: 42 mm is over 90% of the flat top of a 6 in wrist (about 44.6 mm), and 13.35 mm thickness moves the result up one level. |
| 6.5 in (165 mm) — reference | 42 mm | 13.35 mm | Moderate risk: 42 mm is under 90% of the flat top of a 6.5 in wrist (about 48.3 mm), and 13.35 mm thickness moves the result up one level. |
| 7.0 in (178 mm) | 42 mm | 13.35 mm | Moderate risk: 42 mm is under 90% of the flat top of a 7 in wrist (about 52.1 mm), and 13.35 mm thickness moves the result up one level. |
