Grand Seiko Soko Shadow Special Edition 39mm
SBGA429
How it wears
Wears true to its 39 mm case size
Grand Seiko Soko Shadow Special Edition 39mm measures 46.8 mm lug-to-lug on a 39 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.20 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 53% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 49% of the 232 Grand Seiko watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 63 mm (2.48 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46.8 mm (1.84 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 12.3 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 52% of the watches with a listed thickness.
