Prospex Save the Ocean Special Edition 43.8mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 43.8 mm case suggests

Seiko Prospex Save the Ocean Special Edition 43.8mm measures 48.7 mm lug-to-lug on a 43.8 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.11 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 72% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 83% of the 390 Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 55 mm (2.17 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 65 mm (2.56 in) it starts to look compact. Below 48.7 mm (1.92 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 12.8 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 58% of the watches with a listed thickness.
