Chronomat 28

How it wears

Wears larger than its 28 mm case suggests

Breitling Chronomat 28 measures 34.6 mm lug-to-lug on a 28 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.24 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 97% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 99% of the 298 Breitling watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 39 mm (1.54 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 47 mm (1.85 in) it starts to look compact. Below 34.6 mm (1.36 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
