Chronomat Super Chronomat Automatic 38 Origins

How it wears

Wears true to its 38 mm case size

Breitling Chronomat Super Chronomat Automatic 38 Origins measures 45.4 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.19 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 68% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 85% of the 298 Breitling watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 51 mm (2.01 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 61 mm (2.40 in) it starts to look compact. Below 45.4 mm (1.79 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
