Octagonal 29mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 29 mm case suggests

Vacheron Constantin Octagonal 29mm measures 38 mm lug-to-lug on a 29 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.31 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 94% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 85% of the 34 Vacheron Constantin watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 43 mm (1.69 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 51 mm (2.01 in) it starts to look compact. Below 38 mm (1.50 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 6.5 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 99% of the watches with a listed thickness.
