Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” 42mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 42 mm case suggests

Tudor Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” 42mm measures 51 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.21 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 89% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 79% of the 52 Tudor 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 51 mm (2.01 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 14.3 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 85% of the watches with a listed thickness.
