What are the dimensions of the MKII Kingston??

[ds99]

Can someone here tell me the exact dimension of the MKII Kingston? ie case width, lug-to-lug and the thickness of the watch?

Thanks

Go to the MKII website, Home/watch collections/limited editions & series/Kingston. Right under the Kingston photo, scroll down and you will find a list of the specifications

In other words, the dimension of the Kingston is:

PERFECTmm x PERFECTmm x PERFECTmm

IMHO,

Well said. It's perfect.

Perfect, of course, is very subjective. The Kingston is appropriately sized as an updated homage and wears well. Although, with a 14.50mm height, it is a little thicker than my "perfect" watch.

Aye. Rather than starting a new thread, will revive this.

Will be picking up a few MKII's. The Kingston being one of them.
Read the review and saw the pics, however, not seeing the watch in person, can't size it up properly.
I currently kick a 42mm Omega PO and a Steinhart 42m Ocean 1.

I've seen some say the Kingston wear's bigger than its size (39.20mm). Would someone with a caliper be able to throw out a full measure bezel to bezel or comparison pics to another 42mm?
Thanks.

In my opinion, the Kingston wears every bit as big as the 41mm Omega SMP, which surprised me. The thickness and heft of the watch probably lend to that feeling.

My calipers give me just a touch over 39mm across outside of the bezel (same for the case).

Appreciate it.

Here's a scan of my Kingston MkII next to my Watchco Omega Seamaster 300, which "technically" measures 41.5mm across. Notice how the Kingston just "looks" bigger. I can assure you that it "wears" bigger too - I think the lug-to-lug dimension is larger on the Kingston; also, I believe the dial itself is bigger:


Try as I might, now that I've worn the Kingston since ~June, I JUST can't go back to the Seamaster, which USED to be my favorite watch! Now it just seems "too small" on me. I was visiting my good friend yesterday who I sold my Rolex "Maxi Dial" 5513 Submariner to - I asked him to take it off and let me put it on my wrist for old times' sake - it was downright TINY on my wrist! Shoot - if I put a vintage Rolex 6538 on now, it would prolly look like a KID's watch on me!
