Evolution 9 Collection 38.6mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 38.6 mm case size

Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection 38.6mm measures 45.4 mm lug-to-lug on a 38.6 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.18 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 69% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 67% of the 202 Grand Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 51 mm (2.01 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 61 mm (2.40 in) it starts to look compact. Below 45.4 mm (1.79 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
