How the Datejust 36 wears

Its lugs add 8.4 mm to the 36 mm case, close to the 7 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 6.25" to 7.5" (15.9–19.1 cm); below 6.25" the lugs start to reach the edge of the wrist.

At 11.8 mm thick it is thicker than 71% of the 118 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; 186 other watches here share it, so aftermarket straps are easy to find.

Will the Datejust 36 fit your wrist?

With a 44.4 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.
