Breitling Superocean Heritage SuperOcean Automatic 42

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests

Breitling Superocean Heritage SuperOcean Automatic 42 measures 47.7 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.14 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 60% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 35% of the 298 Breitling 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 47.7 mm (1.88 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
