DolceVita 20.8mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 20.8 mm case suggests

Longines DolceVita 20.8mm measures 32 mm lug-to-lug on a 20.8 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.54 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 98% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 87% of the 495 Longines watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 36 mm (1.42 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 43 mm (1.69 in) it starts to look compact. Below 32 mm (1.26 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 6.9 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 97% of the watches with a listed thickness.
