Speedmaster Mark II 42.4mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42.4 mm case suggests

Omega Speedmaster Mark II 42.4mm measures 46.2 mm lug-to-lug on a 42.4 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.09 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 58% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 61% of the 487 Omega watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 62 mm (2.44 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46.2 mm (1.82 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
