The movementAutomatic, in plain words
The movement, in plain words
Octopus Kraken lists an automatic movement for the OCT001. Wearing it winds it.
On your wrist44 mm across, 14 mm thick, on a wrist your size
How it sits on your wrist
Set your wrist circumference to compare the 44 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 78% of that estimated width. Lug to lug is unknown, so no lug extent is drawn.
Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.
How tall it stands
The side view uses listed dimensions. Case shape and lug curve are schematic.
Lug to lug is not listed yet, so the drawing stops at the case.
