How the Santos-Dumont Small wears

Its lugs reach 10.5 mm past the 27.5 mm case, more than the 7 mm typical across the almanac, so it wears larger than its diameter suggests.

On our fit model it sits best on wrists from 5.5" to 6.25" (14.0–15.9 cm).

At 7.3 mm thick it is slimmer than 82% of the 118 other dress watches we've measured, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most.

Will the Santos-Dumont Small fit your wrist?

With a 38 mm lug-to-lug, here is how it wears across common wrist sizes. We estimate the flat top of each wrist from its circumference; measure yours for a closer answer in the fit finder.
