Maurice de Mauriac L2 Deep Blue Diver 42mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 42 mm case suggests

Maurice de Mauriac L2 Deep Blue Diver 42mm measures 51.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.23 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 92% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 58 mm (2.28 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 69 mm (2.72 in) it starts to look compact. Below 51.5 mm (2.03 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 14 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 82% of the watches with a listed thickness.
