Star Legacy Automatic Date 42 mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 42 mm case size

Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Date 42 mm measures 50 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.19 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 82% of the 7,413 watches in this database.

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 50 mm (1.97 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 9.53 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 89% of the watches with a listed thickness.
