Grand Seiko Manufactured by the Micro Artist Studio Spring Drive 8 Days 43mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 43 mm case size

Grand Seiko Manufactured by the Micro Artist Studio Spring Drive 8 Days 43mm measures 51.8 mm lug-to-lug on a 43 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.20 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 94% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 97% of the 232 Grand Seiko 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 51.8 mm (2.04 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 13.2 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 69% of the watches with a listed thickness.
