Prospex 1959 Alpinist Re-creation SJE085 36.6mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 36.6 mm case size

Seiko Prospex 1959 Alpinist Re-creation SJE085 36.6mm measures 44 mm lug-to-lug on a 36.6 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.20 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 78% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 88% of the 390 Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 59 mm (2.32 in) it starts to look compact. Below 44 mm (1.73 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
