How it wears

Wears larger than its 46.2 mm case suggests

IWC Pilot Big Pilot's Watch Heritage 46.2mm measures 57 mm lug-to-lug on a 46.2 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.23 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 99% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 98% of the 42 IWC watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 64 mm (2.52 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 76 mm (2.99 in) it starts to look compact. Below 57 mm (2.24 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
