Vanguard Beach 41mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 41 mm case suggests

Franck Muller Vanguard Beach 41mm measures 49.95 mm lug-to-lug on a 41 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.22 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 82% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 30% of the 10 Franck Muller 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 49.95 mm (1.97 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 12.2 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 49% of the watches with a listed thickness.
