Cosmograph Daytona Carlos Alcaraz 40mm
126518LN
How it wears
Wears true to its 40 mm case size
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Carlos Alcaraz 40mm measures 47.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.19 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 56% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 42% of the 50 Rolex watches listed.
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 47.5 mm (1.87 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 11.4 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 32% of the watches with a listed thickness.
