Do you also still have your Farer Hudson?

At 37mm, I wonder how that wears in comparison as well?

I like the Stanhope, but have always thought it may wear quite a bit larger than my 35mm Tangente.

Not any more... The Hudson was one of the victims of my cull late last year.

How Watch Shape Affects Apparent Size

Post by gaf1958 »

Apologies for the dreadful photos, but I’d just hopped into bed when I remembered I said I’d load a rectangular watch shot as well. So the photos are neither well exposed or composed. The watches are also covered in my grubby fingerprints, but they will hopefully suffice.

The Oris does not have clearly differentiated lugs like the other two, so the comparison is muddied by that. The dial is also considerably smaller due to the larger bezel width compared to the other two.

The measurements are for case size (width x height), dial size and lug to lug length of the watches, from left to right.

Oris 30x35.6 21x25.8 43.8 L2L
Eterna 32.4x32.4 28x28 41.0 L2L
Continental 37.2 diam 31.3 diam 43.4 L2L
