How the Explorer 36 wears

Its lugs add 7 mm to the 36 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" to 7.25" (15.2–18.4 cm); below 6" the lugs start to reach the edge of the wrist.

At 11.5 mm thick it is slimmer than 58% of the 26 other field watches we've measured, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most.

Its 20 mm lug width is one of the most common strap sizes; 104 other watches here share it, so aftermarket straps are easy to find.

Will the Explorer 36 fit your wrist?

With a 43 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.
