How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 38 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 68% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 6.1 mm inside each model edge.

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

Written reviews. Each covers one watch, so read them as things to check rather than a verdict.

From reviews1 report

  • Review praises the case finishing and sapphire clarity but notes the small seconds dial is harder to read than the main dial. Reviewed 1921 generation is historical; do not transfer its observations to the Miyota S4055.
