Classic & Simple Style 38 38.4mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 38.4 mm case suggests

Orient Classic & Simple Style 38 38.4mm measures 43.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 38.4 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.13 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 82% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 92% of the 292 Orient watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.5 mm (1.71 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 10.5 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 78% of the watches with a listed thickness.
