Antarctic GMT Hodinkee Limited Edition 36mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 36 mm case suggests

Nivada Grenchen Antarctic GMT Hodinkee Limited Edition 36mm measures 40 mm lug-to-lug on a 36 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.11 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 92% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 97% of the 29 Nivada Grenchen watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 45 mm (1.77 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 54 mm (2.13 in) it starts to look compact. Below 40 mm (1.57 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 11.1 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 28% of the watches with a listed thickness.
