Fortis Fratello × Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax

How it wears

Wears larger than its 43 mm case suggests

Fortis Fratello × Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax measures 55 mm lug-to-lug on a 43 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.28 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 99% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 62 mm (2.44 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 74 mm (2.91 in) it starts to look compact. Below 55 mm (2.17 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 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 93% of the watches with a listed thickness.
