Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive U.F.A. Ushio 300 Diver 40.8mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 40.8 mm case size

Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive U.F.A. Ushio 300 Diver 40.8mm measures 48.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 40.8 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.19 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 71% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 77% of the 232 Grand Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 54 mm (2.13 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 65 mm (2.56 in) it starts to look compact. Below 48.5 mm (1.91 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 12.9 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 62% of the watches with a listed thickness.
