Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter 43mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 43 mm case suggests

Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter 43mm measures 52.25 mm lug-to-lug on a 43 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.22 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 95% of the 8,093 watches in this database and longer than 84% of the 301 Breitling watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 59 mm (2.32 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 70 mm (2.76 in) it starts to look compact. Below 52.25 mm (2.06 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 12.95 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 63% of the watches with a listed thickness.
