We have not verified this watch’s lug-to-lug yet, so we can’t draw it on a wrist. Case diameter alone is a poor guide to fit.

How the Classic Date Manufacture 40mm wears

At 11.8 mm thick it is thicker than 73% of the 147 other dress watches we've measured, so expect it to sit tall on the wrist.

Its 20 mm lug width is one of the most common strap sizes; 196 other watches here share it, so aftermarket straps are easy to find.
