Heritage 1917 Automatic 35mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 35 mm case suggests

Movado Heritage 1917 Automatic 35mm measures 44.6 mm lug-to-lug on a 35 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.27 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 75% of the 7,421 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 50 mm (1.97 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 60 mm (2.36 in) it starts to look compact. Below 44.6 mm (1.76 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 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 91% of the watches with a listed thickness.
