Seiko Prospex LX GMT U.S. Special Edition 44.8mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 44.8 mm case suggests

Seiko Prospex LX GMT U.S. Special Edition 44.8mm measures 50.9 mm lug-to-lug on a 44.8 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.14 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 89% of the 8,054 watches in this database and longer than 97% of the 393 Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 68 mm (2.68 in) it starts to look compact. Below 50.9 mm (2.00 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 14.7 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 90% of the watches with a listed thickness.
