Fiftysix Day Date 40mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 40 mm case size

Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Day Date 40mm measures 48.1 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.20 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 68% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 59% of the 34 Vacheron Constantin watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 54 mm (2.13 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 65 mm (2.56 in) it starts to look compact. Below 48.1 mm (1.89 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
