This watch is sized at 42mm in diameter and measures 50.2mm from lug to lug, giving it a large-sized presence on the wrist and complementing most men's wrists over 7 inches.
The 42mm case is our largest-sized chronograph option, and we recommend it for anyone with wrists in the 7-inch to 9-inch range, or especially if you're someone who likes a larger modern fit (compared to our smaller 38mm R1 case options). Built for extended outdoor use, this watch has been designed to be as comfortable as possible while still maintaining 10ATM water resistance.
The watch case measures 12.6mm in height (15.7mm with crystal) and has a case weight of 80.6 grams. The entire case is also rounded and ergonomic, so it can be worn comfortably during activities like surfing or diving. This watch comes in a range of interchangeable strap options, and they are designed to fit wrists ranging from 6.5" to 8.5" in diameter - though we do have specialty straps available for those with wrists outside of this range.
