Certina DS Super PH1000M, A Cool 1970s-Inspired Dive Watch 42mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests

Certina DS Super PH1000M, A Cool 1970s-Inspired Dive Watch 42mm measures 43.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.04 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 82% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 50% of the 52 Certina watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.5 mm (1.71 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
