Chronomat Automatic 36

How it wears

Wears true to its 36 mm case size

Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 measures 43.3 mm lug-to-lug on a 36 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.20 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 83% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 89% of the 298 Breitling watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.3 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.
