Laventure Marine Type 3 38mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 38 mm case suggests

Laventure Marine Type 3 38mm measures 46.2 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.22 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 59% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

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 46.2 mm (1.82 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 11.2 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 31% of the watches with a listed thickness.
