Engineer III Maverick GMT 40mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 40 mm case suggests

Ball Engineer III Maverick GMT 40mm measures 51.2 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.28 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 91% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 86% of the 222 Ball watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 69 mm (2.72 in) it starts to look compact. Below 51.2 mm (2.02 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 12.8 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 58% of the watches with a listed thickness.
