How to pick the right size — measuring made simple
To avoid returns, match the case to the recipient’s largest watch:
- Diameter: Measure across the face (exclude crown).
- Lug-to-lug: This tells how the watch will sit on a cushion.
- Thickness & bracelet bulk: Metal bracelets folded add vertical height.
Practical rule: choose a slot at least 4–8 mm wider than the watch diameter and ensure internal height accommodates bracelet thickness (commonly 18–25 mm; heavy bracelets may need 25–30 mm).
