Astor + Banks Fortitude 38.5mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 38.5 mm case size

Astor + Banks Fortitude 38.5mm measures 46 mm lug-to-lug on a 38.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.19 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 60% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 62 mm (2.44 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46 mm (1.81 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 11.9 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 43% of the watches with a listed thickness.
