Fifty Fathoms Automatique 38mm 38.2mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 38.2 mm case size

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique 38mm 38.2mm measures 43.8 mm lug-to-lug on a 38.2 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.15 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 81% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 85% of the 68 Blancpain watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 59 mm (2.32 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.8 mm (1.72 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 11.2 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 29% of the watches with a listed thickness.
