Trafford Watch Co. Crossroads S 35mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 35 mm case suggests

Trafford Watch Co. Crossroads S 35mm measures 36 mm lug-to-lug on a 35 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.03 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 96% of the 8,093 watches in this database.

A flat wrist width of 40 mm (1.57 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 48 mm (1.89 in) it starts to look compact. Below 36 mm (1.42 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 9 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 89% of the watches with a listed thickness.
