Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch 47.7mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 47.7 mm case suggests

Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch 47.7mm measures 46.7 mm lug-to-lug on a 47.7 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 0.98 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 55% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 43% 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 63 mm (2.48 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46.7 mm (1.84 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 14.1 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 83% of the watches with a listed thickness.
