Le Jour Mark I Meteorite 42.5mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42.5 mm case suggests

Le Jour Mark I Meteorite 42.5mm measures 47 mm lug-to-lug on a 42.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.11 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 47% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 53 mm (2.09 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 63 mm (2.48 in) it starts to look compact. Below 47 mm (1.85 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 16 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 97% of the watches with a listed thickness.
