How the Elegance GMT wears

Its lugs add 7.4 mm to the 39.5 mm case, close to the 7.1 mm typical across the almanac, so its diameter is a fair guide to how it wears.

On our fit model it sits best on wrists from 6.5" to 7.75" (16.5–19.7 cm); below 6.5" the lugs start to reach the edge of the wrist.

At 13.7 mm thick it is thicker than 98% of the 56 other dress watches we've measured, so expect it to sit tall on the wrist.

Its 19 mm lug width is one of the most common strap sizes; 21 other watches here share it, so aftermarket straps are easy to find.

Will the Elegance GMT fit your wrist?

With a 46.9 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.
