How the Commander Big Date wears
Its lugs add only 3 mm to the 42 mm case, against 7 mm typical across the almanac, so it wears smaller than its diameter suggests.
On our fit model it sits best on wrists from 6.25" to 7.5" (15.9–19.1 cm); below 6.25" the lugs start to reach the edge of the wrist.
At 12 mm thick it is thicker than 78% of the 166 other everyday watches we've measured, so expect it to sit tall on the wrist.
Its 22 mm lug width is one of the most common strap sizes; 65 other watches here share it, so aftermarket straps are easy to find.
Will the Commander Big Date fit your wrist?
With a 45 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.
| Wrist | Flat width (est.) | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| 6" | 47.2 mm | Snug, lugs near the edge |
| 6.5" | 51.2 mm | Ideal fit |
| 7" | 55.1 mm | Ideal fit |
| 7.5" | 59.1 mm | Ideal fit |
| 8" | 63 mm | Wears small |
