Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch 47.8mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 47.8 mm case suggests

Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch 47.8mm measures 50.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 47.8 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.06 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 88% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 97% of the 390 Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 57 mm (2.24 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 68 mm (2.68 in) it starts to look compact. Below 50.5 mm (1.99 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 13.8 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 79% of the watches with a listed thickness.
