Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge 50mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 50 mm case suggests

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge 50mm measures 61 mm lug-to-lug on a 50 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.22 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 100% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 96% of the 50 Rolex watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 68 mm (2.68 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 82 mm (3.23 in) it starts to look compact. Below 61 mm (2.40 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 23 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 100% of the watches with a listed thickness.
