Re: Size of Seamaster Pro
In Response To: Size of Seamaster Pro ()

: I'm a bit confused about the size of the Full Size Seamaster
: Pro. I read on a FAQ board that it is 41mm, but data on the
: Ashford.com site suggests it is only 39.3mm. How can I find
: out which is correct. Is the Full Size watch overly large?

I haven't gotten a perfectly clear answer before. Some of it is based on exactly where you are supposed to measure the watch. Omega lists the GMT and several similar models as 39.3. The 41 number came from an older Omega brochure for the SM Pro Bond and I have confirmed it by my own measurements.

There are many oversized mens watches in to 39-44mm range. Most mens watches, such as the venerable Rolex Datejust are in the 34-36mm range. Watches 32mm and smaller are usually considered boy's size. But don't take the names of these sizes too seriously. You need to get the size watch that works and looks good on you.

Ironically, many of the 41mm watch owners I know have SMALLER wrists (under 7") and find the larger than average watch looks not only good, but more masculine on them.
