Nivada Grenchen Chronosport Blue 38mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38 mm case suggests

Nivada Grenchen Chronosport Blue 38mm measures 43 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.13 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 84% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 70% of the 30 Nivada Grenchen watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 48 mm (1.89 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43 mm (1.69 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
