Max Bill Automatic 38mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38 mm case suggests

Junghans Max Bill Automatic 38mm measures 40 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.05 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 92% of the 7,413 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 45 mm (1.77 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 54 mm (2.13 in) it starts to look compact. Below 40 mm (1.57 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 10 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 84% of the watches with a listed thickness.
