Pilot's Watch Automatic 36
IW324001
How it wears
Wears larger than its 36 mm case suggests
IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic 36 measures 46 mm lug-to-lug on a 36 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.28 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 59% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 79% of the 42 IWC 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 mm (1.81 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
