Oris Artelier Date 38mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 38 mm case size

Oris Artelier Date 38mm measures 44 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.16 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 78% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 85% of the 66 Oris watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 59 mm (2.32 in) it starts to look compact. Below 44 mm (1.73 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 10.9 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 25% of the watches with a listed thickness.
