HM12 The Guardian 43.6mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 43.6 mm case suggests

MB&F HM12 The Guardian 43.6mm measures 49.3 mm lug-to-lug on a 43.6 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.13 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 77% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 23% of the 31 MB&F 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 49.3 mm (1.94 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 13.8 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 77% of the watches with a listed thickness.
