Alpina Startimer Pilot IFR Chronograph 44.5mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 44.5 mm case size

Alpina Startimer Pilot IFR Chronograph 44.5mm measures 51 mm lug-to-lug on a 44.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.15 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 89% of the 8,093 watches in this database and longer than 94% of the 16 Alpina watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 68 mm (2.68 in) it starts to look compact. Below 51 mm (2.01 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 15.8 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 96% of the watches with a listed thickness.
