Large watches (43 mm and over)

7 references

Cases of 43 mm and over are common among dive, pilot and chronograph designs, where a big dial and bezel help legibility and leave room for extra scales.

A large diameter can wear smaller than expected if the lugs are short or curve down, and larger if they are long and straight. Check lug-to-lug length against your wrist before buying; our wrist-fit tool gives a rough guide.

Every reference here has a case diameter sourced at 43 mm or more.
