Flagship Classic 26mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 26 mm case suggests

Longines Flagship Classic 26mm measures 32.4 mm lug-to-lug on a 26 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.25 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 97% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 86% 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 44 mm (1.73 in) it starts to look compact. Below 32.4 mm (1.28 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 7.9 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 95% of the watches with a listed thickness.
