Lug-to-Lug measurements / size comparison of Triton / Military / Aviation?

[LH2]

Hey Gang...

I find a few of the Steinharts appealing, but don't want something too large for my 6.75" wrist. I figure my max lug-to-lug is about 54mm, since my Lum-Tec Bull 45's look fine on me. But I chalk this up to the fact that the Bull 45 has very short lugs and only measures 53mm tip to tip.



I like the 44mm Aviation (undecided as to auto versus hand wind ) but wonder about the length of the lugs putting it out of reach for me.

The Triton is about 1mm less thick than the Aviation, but it's a 45mm case rather than the 44mm Aviation and, from photos, the Triton lugs appear even longer than the Aviation. Can anybody confirm this?

The Triton also outweighs the Aviation by a good margin. I think lighter watches tend to be more comfortable.

Maybe the Military is the best bet for me. It's a 42mm and only 12mm thick instead of 14mm+

No Triton, but this helpful thread from Downer illustrates the Aviation next to the Military pretty well: A few size comparisons for Tony A.H

Actual lug-to-lug outside measurements of the Aviation / Triton would be helpful. I've had a forum member tell me that their Military is 52mm lug-to-lug.

If you guys could post up some wrist shots of any of these models, along with your wrist size, it'd be super helpful.

Lastly, I guess any impressions of how these models 'wear' or feel when worn would also be appreciated. I know some smaller watches wear larger than they really are, just like some larger watches wear a bit smaller.

Thanks for any help! ~Larry

Hi LH2. I can only report on the Aviation. Lug tip to lug tip is 57mm. Centre to centre of the lug is 51mm. The Aviation "wears big". I have a 7" wrist. These are all important measurements to know because it affects strap length as well. I have to buy short straps or punch extra holes. This is the largest size I will ever wear. Pictured is a Deb. CSAR (same watch) Hope this helps.

Thanks roadie. I should probably forget the Aviation as much as I like the look of the watch, it's probably just too big at 57mm lug to lug. Bummer!

For the Triton, the distance from end of lug to end of lug is 56.22mm. The distance from lug hole to lug hole is 47.23mm. But the watch wears well in that the lugs curve down and the watch is only 14.7mm thick. I have a 6.7-inch wrist and the watch suits me fine. See my thread on Triton on the wrist.
