1970 Haagen GMT Automatic 40mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 40 mm case size

AV86 1970 Haagen GMT Automatic 40mm measures 47.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.19 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 56% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 44% of the 41 AV86 watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 53 mm (2.09 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 64 mm (2.52 in) it starts to look compact. Below 47.5 mm (1.87 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 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 26% of the watches with a listed thickness.
