How it wears

Wears larger than its 38 mm case suggests

NOMOS Orion 38 measures 48 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.26 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 63% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 68% of the 108 NOMOS watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 54 mm (2.13 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 64 mm (2.52 in) it starts to look compact. Below 48 mm (1.89 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 8.9 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 91% of the watches with a listed thickness.
