IWC Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Year of the Goat

How it wears

Wears larger than its 41 mm case suggests

IWC Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Year of the Goat measures 50.8 mm lug-to-lug on a 41 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.24 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 89% of the 8,093 watches in this database and longer than 56% of the 43 IWC watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 68 mm (2.68 in) it starts to look compact. Below 50.8 mm (2.00 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 14.8 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 92% of the watches with a listed thickness.
