Size and Fit
Measurements that decide how a watch sits on the wrist, plus endurance figures like power reserve.
- Lug-to-Lug
- Lug-to-lug is the vertical distance from the tip of the upper lug to the tip of the lower lug. It is this measurement, not the case diameter, that decides whether a watch will truly fit your wrist.
- Power Reserve
- Power reserve is how long a fully wound mechanical watch keeps running off the wrist. On most automatics it is around 40 hours; some movements reach 70 hours and more.
