Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 42

How it wears

Wears true to its 42 mm case size

Breitling Superocean Heritage B31 Automatic 42 measures 49.55 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.18 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 80% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 46% of the 298 Breitling watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 56 mm (2.20 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 67 mm (2.64 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49.55 mm (1.95 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
