5 Sports 1968 Recreation 42.5mm
SRPK13
How it wears
Wears smaller than its 42.5 mm case suggests
Seiko 5 Sports 1968 Recreation 42.5mm measures 46 mm lug-to-lug on a 42.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.08 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 59% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 51% of the 390 Seiko watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 62 mm (2.44 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46 mm (1.81 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 13.4 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 69% of the watches with a listed thickness.
