Tradition 1965 M Auto 35mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 35 mm case suggests

Rado Tradition 1965 M Auto 35mm measures 35 mm lug-to-lug on a 35 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.00 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 97% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 93% of the 29 Rado watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 39 mm (1.54 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 47 mm (1.85 in) it starts to look compact. Below 35 mm (1.38 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 10.6 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 80% of the watches with a listed thickness.
