MB&F Horological Machine HM5 RT 49mm
55.RL.B
How it wears
Wears smaller than its 49 mm case suggests
MB&F Horological Machine HM5 RT 49mm measures 51.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 49 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.05 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 93% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 48% of the 31 MB&F watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 58 mm (2.28 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 69 mm (2.72 in) it starts to look compact. Below 51.5 mm (2.03 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
Wrist fit analyzer
Fit reference
Uses nearly the full wrist width; trying the watch on is strongly recommended.
