41 mm automatic watches

A 41 mm case is made for a wrist of about 17 cm and up. What matters is not only the diameter: it is the lug-to-lug distance, which decides whether the watch overhangs or not. Our 41 mm cases keep short, slightly downturned lugs, which makes them wearable even on a 16.5 cm wrist without that 'watch sitting on a table' effect. If you are coming from a 44 mm watch bought ten years ago, the 41 mm will feel slimmer and above all far easier to slide under a sleeve.
