The movement, in plain words

Addiesdive lists the VH31 for the AD2023.

How it runs. A quartz movement, run by a battery.

On your wrist36 mm across, 12 mm thick, on a wrist your size

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 36 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 64% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 5.1 mm inside each model edge.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.
