1956 Marine Automatic 41mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 41 mm case size

AV86 1956 Marine Automatic 41mm measures 49.2 mm lug-to-lug on a 41 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.20 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 76% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 63% of the 41 AV86 watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 55 mm (2.17 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 66 mm (2.60 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49.2 mm (1.94 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 13.8 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 77% of the watches with a listed thickness.
