Formex Essence 41mm Space Ghost

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 41 mm case suggests

Formex Essence 41mm Space Ghost measures 46.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 41 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.13 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 56% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 38% of the 65 Formex watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 62 mm (2.44 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46.5 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 10.6 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 78% of the watches with a listed thickness.
