Czapek Antarctique Rattrapante R.U.R. 42.5mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42.5 mm case suggests

Czapek Antarctique Rattrapante R.U.R. 42.5mm measures 46.6 mm lug-to-lug on a 42.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.10 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 55% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 63 mm (2.48 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46.6 mm (1.83 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 15.3 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 95% of the watches with a listed thickness.
