We all agreed that this 42mm GMT Black wears well even for our lady member with 5-inch wrist size nevertheless. However, we did find that 44mm variety is too wide for our 5-inch wrist member, but looks beautiful on the larger ones (6’5-inch onwards). Further, none of them find the 42mm variation prone to knocks even on its bracelet. They enjoyed hassle freely on their wrist every single time they strapped it on. They have NEVER FIND IT TOO BIG for their wrist. We concluded that our findings on the 42mm Ocean ultimately ideal for those who want a taste of an actual sports watches without looking out of place even on our smallest member’s wrist.Īlthough on paper the Ocean 42mm GMT has a lug to lug of 49mm, and with straight cut shaped lugs (common find in German’s designed tool watches), Our members did not find the watch over-hanged drastically.

Is the Ocean 42mm GMT Black too big for most wrist?įirstly, the Ocean 42mm GMT Black was one of their classic range that features the dimension as mention above and has the ETA 2893-2 GMT caliber.

We at Gnomon realized that many times our customers are worried regarding the sizing might be too big and looks bulky for one’s wrist. They usually come in at 42mm wide and 49mm from lug to lug with a thickness of 13mm (to ensure 300m water resistant).

Therefore they are widely known for their honest pricing for a Swiss-made dive watches. The price range starts from 450USD onwards.
