Spirit 40mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 40 mm case suggests

Longines Spirit 40mm measures 49.7 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.24 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 81% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 84% of the 495 Longines watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 56 mm (2.20 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 67 mm (2.64 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49.7 mm (1.96 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
