Villeret Ultraplate 38mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38 mm case suggests

Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate 38mm measures 43.2 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.14 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 83% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 93% of the 68 Blancpain watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 48 mm (1.89 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.2 mm (1.70 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
