Pilot Big Date Flyback 42.5mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 42.5 mm case suggests

Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback 42.5mm measures 51.4 mm lug-to-lug on a 42.5 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.21 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 92% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 90% 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 69 mm (2.72 in) it starts to look compact. Below 51.4 mm (2.02 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
