Automatic Split-Seconds Chronograph McLaren W1 43.84mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 43.84 mm case suggests

Richard Mille Automatic Split-Seconds Chronograph McLaren W1 43.84mm measures 49.94 mm lug-to-lug on a 43.84 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.14 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 82% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 53% of the 38 Richard Mille watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 56 mm (2.20 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 67 mm (2.64 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49.94 mm (1.97 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 16.19 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 97% of the watches with a listed thickness.
