Tissot Ballade Powermatic 48 COSC 30mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 30 mm case suggests

Tissot Ballade Powermatic 48 COSC 30mm measures 37.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 30 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.25 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 95% of the 8,074 watches in this database and shorter than 98% of the 263 Tissot watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 42 mm (1.65 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 50 mm (1.97 in) it starts to look compact. Below 37.5 mm (1.48 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 10.55 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 78% of the watches with a listed thickness.
