Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer 36mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 36 mm case suggests

Ball Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer 36mm measures 40 mm lug-to-lug on a 36 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.11 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 92% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 97% of the 222 Ball watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 45 mm (1.77 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 54 mm (2.13 in) it starts to look compact. Below 40 mm (1.57 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 11.5 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 33% of the watches with a listed thickness.
