M34 F8 Date 40mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 40 mm case size

Orient Star M34 F8 Date 40mm measures 47.3 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.18 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 54% of the 7,421 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 53 mm (2.09 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 64 mm (2.52 in) it starts to look compact. Below 47.3 mm (1.86 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 12.9 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 60% of the watches with a listed thickness.
