The movement, in plain words

Baltany lists the NH38, ST2130 or Sellita SW200 for the S4091 distressed Explorer-style. It is an automatic, so wearing it winds it.

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 39 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 70% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 4.4 mm inside each model edge.

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