The movementMiyota 821A, in plain words

The movement, in plain words

WMT lists the Miyota 821A for the Royal Marine WMT073-10. It is an automatic, so wearing it winds it.

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 39.5 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. 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.

From reviews1 report

  • Reviewer found the screw-down crown awkward to operate, while the 369 dial and warm lume were legible. He reports a hidden date mechanism that changes audibly despite no date window.
