Longines Elegance Dolcevita 17.7mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 17.7 mm case suggests

Longines Elegance Dolcevita 17.7mm measures 27 mm lug-to-lug on a 17.7 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.53 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 99% of the 8,054 watches in this database and shorter than 99% of the 495 Longines watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 30 mm (1.18 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 36 mm (1.42 in) it starts to look compact. Below 27 mm (1.06 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
