Seiko Prospex The 1965 Diver's Re-Creation Limited Edition 38mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 38 mm case suggests

Seiko Prospex The 1965 Diver's Re-Creation Limited Edition 38mm measures 46 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.21 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 60% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 51% of the 390 Seiko watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 62 mm (2.44 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46 mm (1.81 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 12.5 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 56% of the watches with a listed thickness.
