Farer Tenebris 38.5mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38.5 mm case suggests

Farer Tenebris 38.5mm measures 42 mm lug-to-lug on a 38.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.09 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 86% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 87% of the 82 Farer watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 47 mm (1.85 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 56 mm (2.20 in) it starts to look compact. Below 42 mm (1.65 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 10.3 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 80% of the watches with a listed thickness.
