Heritage Ultra-Chron 43mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 43 mm case suggests

Longines Heritage Ultra-Chron 43mm measures 49 mm lug-to-lug on a 43 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.14 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 73% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 72% of the 495 Longines watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 55 mm (2.17 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 66 mm (2.60 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49 mm (1.93 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
