Pilot Big Date Flyback 160th Anniversary Edition 42.5mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 42.5 mm case suggests

Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback 160th Anniversary Edition 42.5mm measures 52 mm lug-to-lug on a 42.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.22 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 94% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 93% of the 59 Zenith watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 58 mm (2.28 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 70 mm (2.76 in) it starts to look compact. Below 52 mm (2.05 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 14.25 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 85% of the watches with a listed thickness.
