Alpiner Extreme 41mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 41 mm case suggests

Alpina Alpiner Extreme 41mm measures 42.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 41 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.04 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 85% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 19% of the 16 Alpina watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 48 mm (1.89 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 57 mm (2.24 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42.5 mm (1.67 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
