Watch Sizes

[fleetelise]

Reading Frankhovis's post about his new Stowa has sparked a desire for one of my own but it looks massive.

Their website says it is 41mm - but does not include a diagram of where this 41mm is taken. So, silly question - where is it?

My watch (a Tag something or other) is 41mm when measured from left most point, to the end of the winder, or 44mm when measured from strap to strap. The glass is 26mm, How does this compare with the stowa?

thanks watch experts!

I believe the measurement of a watch is taken diagonally across the face of the watch e.g from edge to edge across numerical markers 2 - 8 or 4 - 10, excluding the crown, thus the diameter. However there are also lug-to-lug measurements to show the length of a watch, but these are rarely included.

My Tag is 42mm in diameter and the PO is 42.5mm, although the Tag looks (a bit!) bigger due to the larger face and thinner bezel!

Personally I'd try any potential purchase on to see if it fits my wrist and expectations

thanks - ideally i'd try on too but initial indications are that stowa are direct supply from germany only.
