DolceVita 27.7mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 27.7 mm case suggests

Longines DolceVita 27.7mm measures 43.8 mm lug-to-lug on a 27.7 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.58 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 81% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 58% of the 495 Longines watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 59 mm (2.32 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.8 mm (1.72 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 10.1 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 84% of the watches with a listed thickness.
