How the Datejust 41 wears

Its lugs add only 5.5 mm to the 41 mm case, against 7.1 mm typical across the almanac, so it wears smaller than its diameter suggests.

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 11.9 mm thick it is thicker than 71% of the 56 other dress watches we've measured, so expect it to sit tall on the wrist.

Its 21 mm lug width is one of the most common strap sizes; 28 other watches here share it, so aftermarket straps are easy to find.

Will the Datejust 41 fit your wrist?

With a 46.5 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.
