Defy Skyline Skeleton Chronograph 42mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests

Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton Chronograph 42mm measures 47.4 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.13 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 56% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 80% of the 59 Zenith watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 53 mm (2.09 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 64 mm (2.52 in) it starts to look compact. Below 47.4 mm (1.87 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 12.7 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 57% of the watches with a listed thickness.
