38 mm watches: the 37 to 38.5 mm cases

The cheapest analogue Timex in the data, and a 30 m watch, which is the reason it sits this far down. Quartz, 38 mm, mineral crystal, 20 mm lugs, a polished silver-tone brass case at 47.8 g, Indiglo backlight, on a slip-through fabric strap, $77 on timex.com. Timex publishes neither lug-to-lug nor thickness for it, so the table carries two dashes. The Scout at $95 is the alternative for $18 more: 40 mm, 50 m, 11 mm thick, on a strap with spring bars. The Weekender's trade is 20 m of water resistance and two blank columns; what it keeps is the size, 2 mm under the Scout.

The one GMT under $300, and the reason to buy it. A fourth-hand caller GMT on a Swiss quartz movement (Timex's wording), 38 mm, 12.5 mm thick, 50 m, domed acrylic, 18 mm lugs, a rotating red and blue 24-hour bezel and a date, $269. Caller means the GMT hand sets independently and the local hour does not jump, as with the Seiko NH34 in the Islander and Spinnaker GMTs on the GMT list. The Q Timex 1979 Reissue incumbents list is no longer on timex.com; this is the current Q. No lug-to-lug is published. The Vaer DS2 at $239 is the other quartz on the page, sapphire and 150 m; the Q trades both for the second time zone.

This is the automatic to buy under $300, and the fullest sheet in the bracket: NH35, 38 mm case, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 13 mm thick, 200 m, sapphire with anti-reflective coating, BGW9 lume, a 120-click bezel with a ceramic top ring and a 316L screw-link bracelet with a fly-adjust clasp, $275 and in stock on the check date. San Martin's page calls the Classic Design collection homage watches; this one follows the 1965 Seiko 6200, the SN004. The Spinnaker Croft at $280 list is the alternative for the money, 2 mm larger, 0.8 mm thicker and 50 m shallower. PT5000, SW200 and bronze versions exist in the same collection, and the trade on all of them is the word homage.

The field watch to buy if a battery change is the thing never to think about again: Citizen's E101 Eco-Drive solar, now titled Garrison on citizenwatch.com. 37 mm, 100 m, mineral crystal, lumed hands and markers, 18 mm lugs, $295 list and $236 on Citizen's own sale on the check date. Citizen publishes neither the lug-to-lug nor the thickness, so both are dashes. It is the only solar watch on this page and the only one from a major brand. A Jomashop landing page showed it at $219 with a $100 coupon; street runs far below list. The trade is the mineral crystal, and the alternative is the Vaer S5 on the under-$200 list, sapphire at $189 with a battery.

The field watch to buy at $299 if the wrist is small: 44 mm lug-to-lug is the shortest of any automatic on this page. Titanium, Seiko NH38A no-date, 38 mm, 200 m, flat sapphire with anti-reflective coating and a BGW9 full-lume dial on 20 mm lugs. Boldr does not state the thickness on this listing, so the table shows a dash. The two Islanders at $249 are the alternative, $50 less, in steel, with 100 m; the Venture's 200 m is what separates them. The range runs $299 to $459, and the quartz Venture GMT at $299 was sold out in every dial. Boldr sells in drops, so the colour is the thing to verify before the price.

The 62mas homage at $306, marked Limited Offer at check, and the pick over the 6200 for anyone who wants an ETA 2824 clone rather than a Seiko: the movement is a Sea-Gull PT5000 or ST2130, and the brand says batches are moving to the ST2130. The title names Seiko's 1965 diver. 37 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.8 mm thick, 200 m, sapphire, a 120-click ceramic bezel, C3 lume, on a 316L bracelet with a fine-tuning folding clasp or FKM rubber. The 6200 is $31 less on a Seiko NH35. The $31 is the movement, and the brand has not settled which one you get.

The smaller chronograph, and the one for a wrist under 6.75 inches: $310, 38 mm, 44.7 mm lug-to-lug, 12.9 mm thick, Seiko VK63, fixed black tachymeter, 50 m, on a 19 mm lug, also sold in 36 mm. The crystal is sapphire-coated mineral rather than the 1962's K1, and the run is 1,964 pieces per colour. Against the 1962 the $20 buys 1.2 mm off the lug-to-lug, 0.6 mm off the thickness and the coating, and costs a millimetre of dial and the panda options. The 19 mm lug is the awkward figure; straps in that width are scarcer than 20 mm. Brew's Retrograph at $375 is the next meca-quartz up, with sapphire.

The pick for a wrist under 6.5 inches: the shortest lug-to-lug on the list at 44.5 mm, on a 38 mm case built to take SKX013 parts. 13 mm thick, Seiko NH36 day-date, 200 m, flat sapphire with AR underneath, a 120-click bezel with a luminous ceramic insert, a screw-link steel bracelet, $329. Islander does not print the lug width on this page. The 42 mm crown-at-3 Islander is $349 at 47 mm lug-to-lug and the 43 mm SKX007-size is $329 at 46 mm; a sibling with a sapphire Pepsi insert (ISL-49) is the same price and was out of stock. For $21 more the Seiko 5 SRPD55 gives the name and gives back 100 m of rating and the sapphire. One-year warranty, assembly not stated.

Not a diver, whatever the reference suggests: the one SN0110 the brand lists is a 37 mm dress watch at $341, and the thinnest San Martin here by 0.3 mm over the SN0144. 45 mm lug-to-lug, 9.8 mm thick, 100 m, sapphire, Sea-Gull ST1812, a diamond-pattern enamel dial in Light Green or Salmon, on a steel bracelet with a quick-release leather strap in the box. No lume is stated. A searcher who expected a Submariner shape should look at the BB Diver (SN0128) and the SN0017 and SN0009 in the Classic collection, not fetched for this table. For the money the SN0149 at $399 gives an integrated bracelet and a Miyota; this gives enamel and 9.8 mm.

The Brew with the full luminous dial, and the cheapest chronograph the brand makes: $375, 38 x 41.5 mm, 10.4 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire, on a meca-quartz chronograph whose calibre the page does not name, with a 22 mm quick-release leather strap. Espresso and Technicolor dials are the same price; the Cobalt was sold out at check. It is the thinnest Brew by 0.35 mm and the widest, 2 mm over the Metric. Dan Henry's 1962 at $290 is the meca-quartz chronograph for $85 less, on a named Seiko VK63 with a K1 mineral crystal and a published 45.9 mm lug-to-lug; the Brew has the sapphire and the lume, and no lug-to-lug at all.

The entry automatic, and the RZE to buy at $399 for a titanium field watch with every figure published: 38 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick, 100 m, sapphire with inner AR, Seiko NH35A, on HexaFlex rubber with a titanium bracelet optional, 60 g on the rubber by the maker's figure. Whistler White, Vervain Blue and Slate Grey are the same price. Boldr's Venture at $299 is the titanium field automatic for $100 less, 38 mm by 44 mm and 200 m on an NH38A, without a published thickness. The Valour gives the hardening, the 11 mm and the bracelet option; the Boldr gives 100 m more water and keeps $100.

The dress automatic to buy at Orient's $295 selling price if the wrist is small: 44 mm lug-to-lug on a 38.4 mm case, the shortest on the page. Orient F6724 automatic, 12.5 mm thick, 30 m, domed mineral crystal, 20 mm lugs, black dial on a strap, $430 compare-at on Orient USA and in stock on the check date; Long Island Watch showed $295, sold out. The Seiko SRPB43 below is the alternative at $450 list, 50 m and box Hardlex, 2.1 mm larger. The Bambino's trade is 30 m and mineral glass; it is not the $350 Bambino 38 line, a different watch.

The Baltic to buy at €385 if 38 mm is your size and hesalite does not trouble you. Miyota 8315 automatic, 47 mm lug to lug, 13 mm thick with the dome included, 50 m, four dials (Silver, Blue Gilt, Black and Gold PVD Black) at one price, on Italian calf leather with bracelet options. The alternative for the same €385 is the HMS 003 below, the same watch 1.5 mm narrower and 1 mm shorter, and the choice between them is wrist width and nothing else. What €385 does not buy is sapphire: the crystal is high-domed hesalite, which scratches and polishes out, and the price reflects it.

The one to buy if the appeal is the 1980s prototype-racer look in aluminium: $450, 38.5 mm, 40 mm lug-to-lug, 11.4 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire, quartz ana-digi with a 1/100-second chronograph, alarm, 3 time zones and an EL backlight, in anodised aluminium (gold, grey or silver) with a 316L caseback, on an FKM rubber strap tapering 20 mm to 18 mm. The 40 mm lug-to-lug is the shortest on this site for a case this size; it fits a 6-inch wrist. Casio's GA2100 at $110 is the ana-digi for a quarter of the money with 200 m; RZE's UTD-8000 at $279 is titanium and 200 m. Autodromo's $450 buys the aluminium, the sapphire and the design.

The smallest and thinnest Seiko diver in the data, and the thinnest watch on this list at 11 mm: 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lugs, sapphire, 200 m, a V147 solar movement Seiko rates at ten months of reserve. The price needs a footnote: Seiko USA's product page returned a 404 on the check date, so $495 is Long Island Watch's stated list, where it was sold out; the black-dial SNE573 on silicone lists at $475 there, on sale at $380. The 42.8 mm SNE589 is ISO 6425 certified and $525, just over the line. For $66 less the Vaer D4 is the same 46 mm lug-to-lug with USA assembly and a ceramic bezel.

The entry to buy if the assembly claim matters: every Nodus product page says designed and assembled in Los Angeles, and only the Vaer A5 here says anything comparable. 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm thick, Seiko NH38 no-date automatic, 100 m, flat-top sapphire, $525 on a bracelet with the brand's own extension clasp. Stone-dial versions are $575 and $600. Frost was out of stock, and Marigold and Void were sold out on the check date; Nodus makes small runs. The Sector II GMT is the same case with an NH34 for $50 more, in the Nodus guide. Against the Islander Port Jefferson at $529 the trade is the movement, NH38 against Miyota 9015, and 50 m.

The Merlin was 500 pieces at $549, sold out, and Lorier says it will not be made again, so this is a record rather than an offer. Miyota 90S5 automatic, 37 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick including the domed Hesalite, 100 m, a bidirectional friction bezel locked by the 4 o'clock crown, Old Radium Super-LumiNova, on a one-piece leather strap; the product URL returns a 404 and the figures are from the Mainspring review. The Nodus Sector II Sport at $525 is the small-case alternative that can be bought, on an NH38. The Merlin's trade is acrylic and a second-hand market that sets its own price.

Sold out in all 4 colourways at check, so a watch to know about rather than to buy this month. Flyer, Blackbird and Phantom list at $550 and the DLC at $675, the last marked sold out or discontinued. It is the only Sector II with a day window, on a TMI NH36, under a 120-click countdown bezel and a box sapphire; 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm, 100 m. The Sector Deep is the rotating-bezel alternative in the same 38 mm case for $100 more, buying 400 m of rating at a cost of 1.9 mm of thickness. The Pilot exists for the day-date; without that need, the Sport is $25 less and could be had.

Retired, and on the page because it was the entry to the brand: CHF 460 before tax was its list, $570 as the maker's page shows it to US buyers, still marked Retired on the check date. Seiko VK64 meca-quartz, 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 11.5 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings, 20 mm lugs, 316L steel. The Rosso Grigio above is the in-stock equivalent at $725, same case and movement, $155 more. Buy the Rosso Grigio if the case is the reason; hunt the Mr Grey only for the dial. The trade is that the price here is history, not a listing.

$575 buys the first entry stated as assembled in the United States: every Nodus product page says designed and assembled in Los Angeles. 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.9 mm thick, Seiko NH34 caller, 100 m, flat-top sapphire, a bracelet tapering 20 to 16 mm with the brand's own extension clasp; all three colourways were $575 and the page stated shipping from 25 September. Warranty 24 months, transferable. The Sector Deep Pioneer is the same NH34 in a 500 m case with a compass ring at $675. For $20 more the Islander Republic Traveler is a true GMT, which is the sharpest price comparison on the page; Nodus's own true GMT, the Contrail, is $325 more and four entries down. Full range in the Nodus guide.

$625 buys the first small-batch maker and a hard-coated titanium case: 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Seiko NH38 no-date regulated to a stated plus or minus 10 seconds a day, 100 m, box sapphire with blue AR, grade 2 titanium with a 2000 HV coating, BGW9 Grade A, a titanium bracelet tapering 20 to 16 mm with Nodus's extension clasp. Designed and assembled in Los Angeles per the product page, 24-month transferable warranty. Marina and Sequoia are $625, the Cerakote Canopy, Dusk and FDE $600, Shale sold out; the steel Sector II Field is not in the catalogue and redirects to a waitlist. For $50 more the Hamilton is the same 47 mm, 2.2 mm thinner, hand-wound and steel. See the Nodus guide.

The field watch to buy at €550, and the thinnest of the eight Miyota 9039 models at 10.8 mm. 37 mm across, 46 mm lug to lug, 150 m, double-domed sapphire, fixed polished steel bezel, Super-LumiNova BGW9, on FKM rubber with bracelet options; the summer colourways list at the same price. The alternative for €80 more is the Aquascaphe MK2 37 mm, the same diameter, 1 mm shorter, 2.1 mm thicker and with a bezel that turns. 150 m covers swimming. What the Tourer does not give you is a rotating bezel, and if you want one Baltic charges the €80.

The DLC Obscura II at $725 was orderable at check and the steel at $650 was not, so the version worth discussing is the one you can buy. It is the Sector II Sport's case, movement and price band, 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm, 100 m, TMI NH38, with a bezel that turns only between 12 and 4 o'clock in 16 clicks: an exposure gauge for the Sunny 16 rule, for which the brand cites US Patent 12,007,722. Against the Sport the gauge costs $125 in steel and $200 in DLC. The gauge is the whole premium; the case beneath it is the Sport's, and the Sport in Glacial could also be ordered.

The deepest watch on the list is also the smallest case, which is the whole argument: 500 m in a 38 mm case, 42 mm across the bezel, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 13.6 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Seiko NH35, flat sapphire with blue AR, a fully lumed DLC bezel, a 20 to 16 mm bracelet with Nodus's own extension clasp, $650. Designed and assembled in Los Angeles per every product page, 24-month transferable warranty. Every colourway showed sold out in the collection data on the check date. For the same $650 the Seiko King Turtle is in stock with an ISO rating and 300 m less. The Sector Deep Pioneer, the GMT version, was in stock at $675. See the Nodus guide.

A 75-piece edition made with Holme & Hadfield, out of stock at check with a notify sign-up, and the only 100 m Sector diver Nodus lists at all, since the standard Sector II Dive has left the catalogue. The 38 mm case is 40 mm across the bezel, 47 mm lug-to-lug and 11.9 mm thick, on a TMI NH38 without a date under a box sapphire. The bezel is CuAl8 bronze with a matte DLC steel insert; the page gives no click count. There is no alternative at this rating in the house: the Sector Deep gives 500 m, the Sport the same case without the bezel for $525.

The 38 mm Unimatic to buy at $655 if the rotating bezel is not needed: against the UC1 at $760 you lose the bezel and 2 mm of case and keep $105. Seiko NH35, 300 m, 2.7 mm double-domed sapphire, 8 mm screw-down crown, on a nylon strap. Unimatic is a Milan design studio and numbers its Classic models in yearly batches. It does not publish lug-to-lug or thickness; the 47.6 mm and 13.7 mm in the table are published measurements rather than the maker's. The Hamilton at $675 is the alternative for the money with every figure filled in by the maker; the Unimatic's answer is 300 m against 50 m. The Unimatic guide covers the numbered editions.

The thinnest dive-rated Traska and the pick over the Freediver if 46 mm lug-to-lug matters more than an external bezel: $665, third generation as Ref. 5223, 38.5 mm, 9.5 mm case (11.3 mm with the crystal), 150 m, Miyota 9039. The second crown turns an internal minute bezel, the outer bezel is fixed steel, and the BGW9 lume runs on the inner ring as well as the hands. Against the Freediver it is 1 mm thinner at the case, 2 mm shorter and $70 less, for 50 m less water resistance. The Lorier Neptune at $699 is 39 mm and 46 mm with an external bezel, $34 more and not hardened. The compressor style is the reason to choose it.

The watch most often quoted at $495, and $675 on hamiltonwatch.com, on a NATO. 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 9.5 mm thick, Hamilton H-50 hand-wound with an 80-hour reserve and a Nivachron hairspring, 50 m, sapphire. It is the thinnest watch on this list and one of two hand-wound ones (the Marathon is the other); 50 m is the trade: fine for rain, not stated for swimming. A discounter listed it at $526.50 the same day, which is where the old figure came from. The Marathon Officer's at the same $675 is the alternative, Swiss hand-wound, with tritium and 3 mm less lug-to-lug. The Khaki Field Auto 38 at $845 is the automatic with 100 m, on the under-$1,000 list.

The Nodus to buy if 500 m is the requirement: Admiral and Forge at $675 and NVG at $725 were orderable at check, Ranger was sold out, and nothing else at that rating could be ordered on the day. It is the Sector Deep case, 38 mm under a 42 mm bezel, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 13.6 mm thick, with a TMI NH34 caller GMT and an 8-point compass ring on the 120-click bezel. The Sector Deep at $650 is the same case with a date and no second zone; the Sector II GMT at $575 is the same movement at 100 m and 1.7 mm thinner. The $100 over the latter is 400 m of rating.

Buy it for the bronze or not at all: at €600 the €50 over the steel Tourer buys the case metal and nothing else on the sheet. 37 mm, 46 mm lug to lug, 10.8 mm thick, Miyota 9039, 150 m, double-domed sapphire, fixed bronze bezel, in Green, Brown or Blue, on FKM rubber with a bronze buckle. The case is CuAl8 bronze and the lume is Super-LumiNova C3 X1 rather than the steel version's BGW9. For the same €600 the Aquascaphe Classic gives 200 m and a rotating sapphire bezel in steel. The trade is a case that patinates, and 50 m of rating against the Classic.

The everyday watch to buy at $700 for the case: a proprietary hardening quoted at about 1,200 HV, without a trade name. 38.5 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 8.75 mm case and 10.5 mm with the box sapphire, Miyota 9039 (no date) or 9015 (date), 100 m, on a bracelet tapering 20 to 16 mm. Assembly location is not stated; the warranty is three years, transferable. Traska's storefront showed every model unavailable on the check date. The Summiteer is the same case with a field dial at $700; the Commuter 36 is $690, the 34 $630. The Lorier Neptune at $699 is the alternative: 200 m and a bezel for a 12-month warranty against three. See the Traska guide.

$700 buys the sheet the Hamilton does not have: a hardened case, an automatic, 100 m, a bracelet and the longest warranty on the page. 38.5 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 10.5 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Miyota 9039, box sapphire with AR, steel hardened to a stated 1,200 HV, BGW9 Grade A, a 20 to 16 mm bracelet with a six-position quick-adjust clasp. Three-year transferable warranty; the brand is in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and does not state where assembly happens. The Summiteer 36 uses the 36.5 by 44 by 10.5 mm Commuter 36 case at $690, with Sage Green dials at $640 and $650. Against the Hamilton one rung down it is $25 more for all of that and 1 mm of thickness. The Traska guide has the Commuters.

The Baltic diver for a wrist the 39.5 mm would overhang: at 45 mm lug to lug it is 2 mm shorter than any other diver the brand makes. 37 mm across, 12.9 mm thick, 200 m, Miyota 9039 no-date or 9015 with date, double-domed sapphire, sapphire bezel insert, Super-LumiNova BGW9, from €630 in the same four dials as the larger MK2 (Blue, Grey, Green, Warm Silver), on FKM rubber Classic with bracelet options. The alternative for €80 less is the Hermétique Tourer, 1 mm longer, 2.1 mm thinner, on a fixed bezel. The trade against the 39.5 mm is dial area and nothing else; the price and the movement are the same.

The Furlan Marri to buy at $725 as the maker shows it to US buyers (CHF 585 before tax), and the reason is the case: 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick, with round pushers on a 316L case. Seiko VK64 meca-quartz, 50 m, sapphire with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings, on a burgundy and grey leather strap tapering 20 to 16 mm. The Ardesia Blu, Nero Sabbia and Castagna dials are the same price. The Charlie Paris GR at $645 is the VK64 alternative with 100 m for $80 less; the Furlan Marri's trade is 50 m, and what the $80 buys is the dial and the pushers.

The rose-gold Furlan Marri, same $725, same VK64, and the 4N rose gold PVD case is the whole difference from the Rosso Grigio above. 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick with the crystal and 11.5 mm without, 50 m, sapphire with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings, a decagonal screwed caseback, 20 mm quick-release beige and brown leather tapering to 16 mm. Choose between the two on the case colour; the sheet does not separate them. The Charlie Paris Initial Cœur Ouvert at $695 is the other dress watch here for $30 less, an automatic; the Sabbia Rosa's trade is plating, which wears, and a quartz heart under mechanical pushers.

The mechanical chronograph to buy at $800, the maker's US price, if a Seagull calibre is acceptable where everything else has three hands. 38.5 mm, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.9 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, a bespoke hand-wound ST-1901B with a 50-hour reserve, 50 m, sapphire, C3 lume, on Epsom leather tapering 20 to 16 mm. Against the Lorier Olympia at the end of this section it is 1.5 mm shorter, 0.9 mm thinner and $199 less, with sapphire where the Lorier has Hesalite. The alternative at $799 is the Hyperion, a true GMT rather than a stopwatch. The Underd0g's trade is the movement's origin and the 50 m.

The automatic Khaki Field, and $845 on the bracelet is $170 over the hand-wound Mechanical for 1.5 mm more thickness, 100 m rather than 50 m and the bracelet in the box. 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick (Hamilton's figure; a discounter lists 10 mm), Hamilton H-10 with an 80-hour reserve, sapphire. The 42 mm version is the same price with a 53 mm lug-to-lug. The Khaki Field Murph 38 is the same movement at $995 with no published lug-to-lug, so it stays in the notes. The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 at $850 is the alternative for the money, 80 hours as well, on an integrated bracelet; the Hamilton's answer is a published lug-to-lug and changeable straps.

The only Christopher Ward under $1,000 on the maker's US price, and under because it is on clearance: $934, out of stock on the check date, cut from £985 to £689 on the sterling page. 38 mm in bronze, 43.6 mm lug-to-lug, 11.9 mm thick, a Sellita SW200-1 with a COSC certificate and a 38-hour reserve, 150 m, box sapphire. The lug-to-lug is 3.4 mm shorter than the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 38's. The steel Dune Aeolian is $1,335 without the certificate, on the under-$1,500 list. The Formex Field at $975 is the alternative, titanium and Swiss assembled; the Dune's trade is the bronze and the stock position.

The GMT to buy under $1,500 if a jumping local hour matters more than knowing where the watch was assembled, which Traska does not say. The 2026 redesign (Ref. 4217) is 38.5 mm, 46.1 mm lug-to-lug, 10.15 mm in the case and 12.1 mm with the box sapphire, Miyota 9075, 150 m, an internal 24-hour bezel set by a second crown at 10 o'clock, steel hardened to about 1,200 HV per the brand, on a bracelet tapering 21 to 16 mm, $950; meteorite dials are $965 to $975. It is the thinnest true GMT in this site's data under $1,500: the Lorier Hyperion is 10.7 mm and the Nodus Contrail, on the same movement, 11.8 mm at $900. Traska's Freediver at $735 is the diver.

CHF 790 on certina.com, recommended retail including Swiss VAT; Certina has no US storefront and publishes no dollar figure. 38 mm, 13.22 mm thick, 19 mm lugs, a Powermatic 80.611 with an 80-hour reserve, 300 m to ISO 6425:2018, sapphire with AR on one side, a unidirectional bezel with a ceramic insert. No lug-to-lug is published. The current reference is 1.02 mm thicker than the one it replaced. The Tissot Seastar 1000 at $875 in the main list is the Powermatic 80 diver with a US price, 2 mm larger and 0.74 mm thinner; the Certina's trade is the ISO line and the 38 mm case against francs.

Not for sale on the check date, so the price is a fact about a batch still in production: completion scheduled for Q1 2027, pre-orders opening soon. 38 mm, 48 mm lug-to-lug, 11.8 mm thick, Sellita SW300-1 no-date with a 56-hour reserve per the brand, 100 m, double-domed sapphire with AR, steel bracelet, $995, in 5N Gold or Galvanic Blue with a third dial to come. It is a 38 mm watch with a longer lug-to-lug than the 40 mm Seaforth IV, 48 mm against 46.5 mm; measure your wrist first. The Vitreous Enamel Series is the same watch with a lead-free enamel dial at $1,095, on the same schedule. Assembled, tested and shipped from Vancouver per the brand.

$150 over the Khaki Field Auto 38 for the same H-10, beige lume and the name, on leather rather than the bracelet. 38 mm, 11.1 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 80-hour reserve, 100 m, sapphire with AR, $995 on hamiltonwatch.com; a discounter had it at $895.50. Hamilton publishes no lug-to-lug for the Murph where it publishes 47 mm for the Auto 38, which is why the Auto is in the main list. The 42 mm Murph at $1,095 is on the under-$1,500 list with a 53 mm lug-to-lug. The Auto 38 at $845 is the better buy on the sheet; the Murph's trade is $150 for the dial.

The cheapest entry that states Swiss assembly, "assembled and tested in Switzerland", at $1,050 on leather or rubber tropic and $1,250 on a flat-link or beads-of-rice bracelet. 38 mm, 12.9 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Soprod P024 with a 38-hour reserve, 200 m, double-domed sapphire with AR, unidirectional ceramic bezel with lumed markers. No lug-to-lug is published; the no-date versions were sold out. From the same maker, the F77 at $1,360 is the same movement in a sport case without the bezel (37 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 12.65 mm, 100 m), and the Depthmaster Bronze at 1,000 m is $1,750 on the under-$2,000 list. The 38-hour reserve is what it gives up against the 80-hour calibres above it.

The dial is the whole $100: the Vitreous Enamel Universa II is the standard watch, 38 mm, 48 mm lug to lug, 11.8 mm, 100 m, Sellita SW300-1, with a lead-free vitreous enamel dial fired on a 999 silver base and the lume set in champlevé reservoirs, at $1,095. Four dials: Sapphire, Turquoise, Jessamine, Mercury. Same Q1 2027 schedule. It is the most expensive Halios and the only one over $1,000, which keeps it off the under-$1,000 lists on this site. The alternative for $100 less is the standard Universa II in 5N Gold or Galvanic Blue. The trade is $100 for a fired dial, and nothing else on the sheet moves.

The field version of the same 38 mm case at $1,145, and sold out in every configuration on the check date: 45 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick, 100 m, fixed bezel, Soprod P024, gold medallion caseback. The whole Antarctic and Super Antarctic range, 35 mm and 38 mm, runs $945 to $1,145 in the feed, so this is the top of it. Serica's 6190 at $1,290 is the alternative with a COSC Soprod M100, 200 m and 10.4 mm; Formex's Field Automatic 40 is $975 at 10.6 mm. Against those the Nivada's 12 mm is thick for a 100 m field watch, and the argument is the 1950s dial, not the sheet.

The Bravur to start with at $1,195: 37 mm, 44.6 mm lug-to-lug, 100 m, screw-down crown, Sellita SW200 with 41 h and no date, BGW9 lume at 3, 6, 9 and 12, on FKM rubber, perforated leather or a Milanese, with a black PVD option. The REN, PEU and MER variants are the same price. Thickness is not published. Christopher Ward's C65 Dune in 38 mm is £970 at 11.7 mm and 43.6 mm lug-to-lug with 150 m; Serica's 7505 is $1,290 at 35 mm, 41.5 mm and 9.6 mm with a COSC certificate. The Bravur gives a Swedish build and an 18 mm lug, and the lug is the thing to check before ordering.

The hand-wound Sellita at $1,200, the maker's US price, and the only 18 mm lug on the page. 37.5 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 11.5 mm thick, a Sellita SW200-2 M Power+ with a 63-hour reserve and a stated -7/+7 seconds a day, 100 m, sapphire over a 1 mm tinted sapphire dial layer, on leather tapering 18 to 16 mm. The lug-to-lug is 1 mm longer than the 39 mm Farer Resolute III's. The Serica 6190 at $1,290 is the alternative: 38 mm, 46.5 mm, 10.4 mm, COSC, 200 m, for $90 more. The Underd0g's trade is 1.1 mm of thickness and no certificate, for the dial.

The one chronometer on the page, and at $1,290 the first COSC certificate on this site's ladder. 38 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.4 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Soprod M100 certified by COSC, 200 m, 1.8 mm double-domed sapphire, fixed flat step bezel, Super-LumiNova C3, on a Bonklip-style steel bracelet, as the maker's site shows it to US customers (€1,090 in Europe). The California dial replaces the discontinued 4512. Serica, Paris, states its watches are made in Switzerland and chronometer-certified since 2023. The M.S.L. and TXD dials in the same case are $1,390; the 7505-1 is the same specification at 35 mm, 41.5 mm lug-to-lug and 9.6 mm, for the same $1,290. Against the Doxa at the same money it gives up 4 mm of case and the rotating bezel.

The thinnest Farer at 7.95 mm, and the lower-priced route to a La Joux-Perret D100 in this data set: $1,295 (£1,150), against Baltic's Prismic Stone at €1,450 on the same calibre. 38 mm, 42.8 mm lug to lug, 50 m, flat sapphire with AR on both faces, soigné grade, Lumicast numerals in Grade X2 Super-LumiNova, which is unusual on a dress watch this thin. Out of stock at check. The alternative in the hand-wound row is the Marsden at $130 less, 3 mm smaller and 2 mm thicker. The trade is that you wind it, keep it out of the water, and wait for the next run.

The steel Dune at $1,335 on the bracelet, without the COSC certificate the bronze one carries on the under-$1,000 list. 38 mm, 43.6 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Sellita SW200-1, 150 m, box sapphire, a fixed bezel, Grade X1 lume. The 43.6 mm lug-to-lug is the shortest of any 38 mm watch here; the Serica 6190 is 46.5 mm. The C65 Trident Diver and Aquitaine GMT have left the catalogue, so this is the C65 three-hander that remains. The Serica at $1,290 is the alternative: COSC, 200 m, 1.3 mm thinner. The Dune's trade is $45 more for 2.9 mm less length and no certificate.

The integrated-bracelet sport watch at $1,360 on steel, $1,160 on canvas: 37 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 12.65 mm thick, 100 m, 22 mm lug, Soprod P024, push-button deployant. The catalogue branches from here: MK2 cases in 38 mm and 41 mm at $1,160 to $1,860, stone dials in meteorite, lapis and aventurine at $1,360 to $1,760, titanium MK1 at $1,560 to $1,760. Christopher Ward's The Twelve in 38 mm is £1,095 at 9.95 mm and 43.3 mm lug-to-lug; Farer's Cuprum Integra is £1,450 at 10.3 mm. The F77 is 2.7 mm thicker than the Twelve at the same 100 m, and the 22 mm lug narrows the strap choice. Buy it for the 37 mm and the 1977 shape.

$55 over the 40 and 42 mm Tridents for the smallest and thinnest of the three, on pre-order on the check date. 38 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Sellita SW200-1, 300 m, sapphire with AR, the 120-click ceramic bezel, Grade X1 lume, on the bracelet, $1,375. The 45 mm lug-to-lug matches the Farer Resolute III's on a case 1 mm smaller, with 200 m more and a rotating bezel. The Serica 6190 at $1,290 is the alternative: 38 mm, 46.5 mm, 10.4 mm, 200 m, COSC. The Trident 38's trade is $85 more and 0.6 mm thicker for the bezel and the extra 100 m.

The top rung, $1,390, buys the only chronometer certificate on the page. Serica's 6190-1 is a COSC Soprod M100 in a 38 mm case, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.4 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 200 m, a 1.8 mm double-domed sapphire with inner AR, a fixed flat step bezel, a Bonklip steel bracelet. The site shows $1,390 to US buyers and €1,190 in Europe; made in Switzerland per the brand, two-year warranty. The 6190 California is $1,290 and the 35 mm 7505-1 is $1,290 at 41.5 mm lug-to-lug and 9.6 mm. Against the Formex it is $415 more for the certificate and 50 m, and 0.2 mm thinner; that is the whole of what the last rung buys. The Serica guide has the diving chronometers.

The enamel 6190 at $1,390 (€1,190), and the reason to pay the same as the M.S.L. is the two-tone Tuxedo enamel dial, which the M.S.L. does not have. Everything else is the shared case: 38 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.4 mm thick, 200 m, Soprod M100 with COSC, 1.8 mm double-domed sapphire, fixed flat step bezel, Super-LumiNova C3, Bonklip 6190 bracelet. The 6190 Denali and Commando dials on the listing page sit at the California's €1,090, so the 6190 family runs €1,090 to €1,190 on one case, one bracelet and one certificate. For the money the alternative is the M.S.L.; for $100 less, the California. Enamel is the only thing on this page you cannot have cheaper.

The worldtimer, and at €1,300 the cheapest route to a Soprod C125 in this data set: Serica runs the same calibre in its 8315 at $2,450 (€2,090) with COSC certification, which Baltic does not state. 37 mm across, 45 mm lug to lug, 11.3 mm thick, 100 m, double-domed sapphire, unidirectional 120-click brushed ceramic bezel, Super-LumiNova BGW9, on Italian calf leather, 200 numbered pieces per dial. The alternative from Baltic is the GMT MK-II at €450 less, 2.5 mm larger, 2.5 mm thicker and rated to twice the depth. The trade for the €450 is a Swiss calibre and a stone dial against water resistance and a bezel that times a dive.

The middle Twelve, 38 mm and 43.3 mm lug-to-lug, at the same $1,495 as the other two. 9.95 mm thick, Sellita SW200-1, 38-hour reserve, 100 m, sapphire with AR, the twelve-sided bezel on the integrated bracelet, Grade X1 lume. It is the size that puts the Twelve against the Serica 6190 at $1,290: 38 mm each, the Serica 46.5 mm long and 10.4 mm thick with a COSC certificate and 200 m, the Twelve 3.2 mm shorter, 0.45 mm thinner, on a bracelet you cannot swap. The Serica is the alternative for $205 less; the Twelve's trade is the integrated case and the 38-hour reserve against a chronometer.

The same case and calibre as the White Sector at the same $1,550, with a blue sector dial and a sand and light-blue leather pair. 37.5 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 10.5 mm, 20 mm lugs, La Joux-Perret G100 with a 68-hour reserve, 50 m, sapphire front and back with AR, lume not stated. "Only a few left" on the check date. Each dial is its own listing at the maker, so all three are here. For the same money the Salmon Sector below swaps blued hands for gunmetal PVD and was out of stock; the White Sector above is the one with Breguet numerals and a few left.

Out of stock on the check date with a restock listed for early November, at the same $1,550. The case and calibre are the White Sector's: 37.5 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 10.5 mm, 20 mm lugs, La Joux-Perret G100, 68-hour reserve, 50 m, sapphire front and back. What changes is the salmon sector dial with gunmetal PVD indexes and hands, on green Italian and black French leather. The White Sector above is the same watch with blued hands and a few left. The Charlie Paris Alliance Saphir at $1,745 is the dress alternative in stock, 1.5 mm thinner and rated 100 m, for $195 more.

The dress watch to buy at $1,550 for the case: cornes-de-vache lugs on a 37.5 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 10.5 mm steel case with a La Joux-Perret G100 automatic and a 68-hour reserve. 20 mm lugs, 50 m, sapphire front and back, blued steel hands over applied Breguet indexes, two leather straps. "Only a few left" on the check date. No lume is stated. The Serica Parade at $1,760 is the other dress case on this page: 35 mm, 8.2 mm, 100 m and a COSC certificate for $210 more. The Furlan Marri has the reserve and the lugs; the Serica has the certificate and twice the rating.

The max bill to buy is this one, reference 27/4700.02, the 38 mm automatic under sapphire at €1,485 including VAT on junghans.de, in stock on the check date. Junghans J800.1 automatic with a 38-hour reserve, 10 mm thick, 50 m, domed sapphire with AR, polished steel. The maker publishes no lug-to-lug or lug width and states no lume. The Meister Handaufzug below at €1,590 is €105 more and 2.7 mm thinner, hand-wound; the NOMOS Tangente 35 on the under-$2,500 list shows €1,860 on its international page, 6.2 mm on the brand's own calibre. The trade-off is a 38-hour reserve and a sheet with two dashes on it.

A 7.3 mm hand-wound with small seconds at €1,590 including 19% VAT, and the thinnest watch on this page by 0.9 mm over the Serica Parade. Reference 27/3504.02 on the page read: 37.7 mm, Junghans J815.1 hand-wound with a 42-hour reserve, 50 m, sapphire with AR, screwed steel back. No lug-to-lug or lug width is published and no lume is stated. US dealers quoted it in search snippets that were not fetched, so the row holds the euro figure only. The Serica Parade, €1,490 on its own store, is 8.2 mm, 35 mm, 100 m and COSC-certified; the Junghans is thinner and larger, at 50 m, without a certificate.

Here on search snippets, not a read page, and the row says so: sinn.de served a bot wall and watchbuys.com a Cloudflare challenge on 19 and 20 September. On those snippets the 556 I is $1,840 on strap and $2,260 on the fine-link bracelet, 38.5 mm, 20 mm lugs, 200 m, Sellita SW200-1, sapphire with a display back. No thickness or lug-to-lug is held. This site cannot verify a single figure of it. The Monta Triumph at $1,850, $10 more, publishes every dimension and was sold out; the Marathon GSAR at $2,000 publishes its 14 mm and showed no warning. Buy the Sinn from a page you have read yourself.

The anniversary piece at $1,850 ex-VAT, RMB 15,800 at the Shanghai salon, sold in two windows on 28 May 2026 at 11:00 and 23:00 JST, one per customer, delivering from July and not to be repeated: 37 mm, 11.5 mm, 50 m on the brand's page, Miyota 90S5, sapphire box crystal. The 45 mm lug-to-lug is Monochrome's measurement, not the brand's, which publishes none. Against the Inseki it is the same case with malachite in place of meteorite and 50 m stated in place of 30. anOrdain's Model 1 is £1,790 before VAT at 38 mm, 42 mm lug-to-lug and 10.1 mm with an enamel dial fired in Glasgow, and it takes orders.

The meteorite Kurono at $1,850, sold out since its single global window on 15 January 2026 at 23:00 JST: 37 mm, 11.5 mm with the crystal and 7 mm without, 30 m, Miyota 90S5, a Muonionalusta meteorite dial with hand-painted Breguet numerals, calf strap on a 20/16 mm lug. Zelos's Comet 39 Meteorite is $2,099 at 39 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug and 9.4 mm on a hand-wound Peseux 7001, and Baltic's Prismic Stone is €1,450 at 36 mm and 9.2 mm; both are thinner, both are Swiss-movement, and the Zelos had 37 pieces remaining on the check date. The Inseki's argument is the numerals and Asaoka's name on the dial.

The thinnest Monta at 9.7 mm and the smallest at 38.5 mm, on the same 47 mm lug-to-lug as the Atlas, which is where the size stops being small: 150 m, M-22, mirror-polished fixed bezel, 7-layer AR, sapphire back, bracelet with the 3-slot clasp, $1,895. Sold out at check. The Noble Voyager at $2,150 is this watch on the M-23 GMT at 10.7 mm. Against the Noble 40 at the same price you give up 50 m and 1.5 mm of diameter and gain 0.8 mm of thinness. The Christopher Ward Twelve 38 is 9.95 mm and 43.3 mm lug-to-lug at £1,095 on the maker's site; that case is short as well as thin, and this one is not.

The integrated-bracelet Farer, and the one a US buyer cannot price in dollars: £1,450, no US figure at check, and sold out besides. 38.5 mm, 42 mm lug to lug, 10.3 mm thick, 100 m, Sellita SW300-1 in Top Grade finish, on a 24 mm steel bracelet with a rubber strap in the box. The Eastern Arabic and Tenebris editions list at £1,495 (the former at $1,695 in the US), the Viridis and Perlarum stone dials at £1,550. The alternative on the same movement is the Barnwell at $1,525, a grade lower, 1.5 mm larger and 1 mm longer lug to lug. The trade is availability: the Barnwell can be ordered, and this cannot.

The cheapest entry and the first manufacture calibre on this ladder: $2,070 buys NOMOS Glashütte's own hand-wound DUW 4001 and a 100 m rating in an 8.5 mm case. 38.5 mm, 46.7 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lugs, domed sapphire, screwed steel back, Super-LumiNova on numerals, indexes and hands, on the US store. Other Club Campus 38 dials are priced similarly and were not fetched individually. 100 m at 8.5 mm hand-wound is the number; the Tangente 35 below is 6.2 mm and 50 m. Against the Serica Parade at $1,760 on the under-$2,000 list (35 mm, 8.2 mm, 100 m, COSC), the Club is 3.5 mm larger, 0.3 mm thicker and $310 more. The manufacture calibre is what the $310 buys; the certificate is what it gives up.

The moonphase at $2,075 (£1,825), and a watch bought for the complication, since the case figures are those of a dress watch: 38.5 mm, 43.8 mm lug to lug, 11.5 mm thick, 50 m. Sellita SW288-1 M hand-wound, curved sapphire, exhibition back, gold PVD over 316L steel, 7 leather strap options on a gold PVD buckle. 150 pieces planned, 75 in the first batch, not numbered; listed as returning in late 2026. The alternative in the hand-wound row is the Marsden, $910 less, 3.5 mm smaller, without the moonphase or the PVD. The trade is 50 m, and a wait until late in the year.

The hand-wound chronograph at $2,085 on a strap, $2,285 on a bracelet, and low in stock: 38 mm, 14.55 mm thick, 100 m, Landeron 70 with 45 h, and five interchangeable aluminium bezels in the box. The original Panda Manual listing was 13.75 mm at $1,975 to $2,175, the inter-bezel Broad Arrow and Orange Boy sit at the same $1,975 to $2,175, and the 41 mm Chronomasters are $2,295 to $2,495. Farer's Libre is $2,095 on a Sellita SW510 M at 13.4 mm with a stated 44 mm lug-to-lug; Baltic's Scalegraph is €1,585 at 13.5 mm. The Nivada does not publish its lug-to-lug. It does give you five bezels, and nothing else in the data does.

A hand-wound chronograph in 100 units at $2,095, and 1.14 mm thinner than the automatic Tissot PRX below (13.4 mm against 14.54 mm). 38.5 mm, 44 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lugs, Sellita SW510M b Elaboré in a Top Grade finish, 100 m, domed sapphire with a seven-layer inner AR, exhibition back, bidirectional 24-click bezel with a burgundy ceramic 12-hour insert, BGW9 Super-LumiNova, on integrated rubber, leather or Milanese (£1,875). The Gara and Volante are the same price. Designed in London, Swiss made per the brand. The Stratton Moonphase at $2,075 (38.5 mm, 43.8 mm lug-to-lug, 11.5 mm, gold PVD, hand-wound SW288-1) was listed as returning late 2026. The Tissot at $2,150 is the one with a bracelet and a rotor; the Farer is the one you wind.

Sold out on the check date, and the thinner of the two GMTs here at 10.7 mm. 38.5 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lugs, Caliber M-23 GMT with a 56-hour reserve, 150 m, flat bevelled sapphire with a seven-layer inner AR, sapphire back, screw-down crown, on the brand's bracelet with a three-slot quick-adjust clasp, $2,150. Opalin Silver and Charcoal are the same price. Monta says its calibres are manufactured, assembled and tested in Switzerland. The Skyquest GMT at $2,435 is the bezel version (40.7 mm, 47.4 mm lug-to-lug, 11.8 mm, 300 m) and also showed sold out. Against the Serica 8315 GMT at $2,450: the Monta is 1.6 mm thinner and rated 50 m shallower, and only the Serica states a chronometer certificate.

A hand-wound monopusher for $2,200 (£1,750), and the Farer Libre above is the comparison the money forces: both run a Sellita SW510 M in Elaboré grade. 38.5 mm, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 13.6 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 63-hour reserve, cam-operated single pusher, 50 m, double-sandwich sapphire, C3 Super-LumiNova, a three-part 316L case and the brand's ruthenium anthracite bridge with Côtes de Genève, on Epsom leather at 20/16 mm. The Farer at $2,095 is $105 less, 0.2 mm thinner, rated to 100 m, with a rotating bezel. The Studio Underd0g has the single pusher and the salmon dial; the trade-off is half the Farer's rating.

The automatic chronograph at $2,295 on a strap, $2,495 on a bracelet, on pre-order with shipping in early October: ETA Valjoux 7750 with 48 h, 38 mm, 44.3 mm lug-to-lug, 200 m, and 15.2 mm thick, or 12.7 mm if you measure to the case and not the crystal. The mecaquartz Autochron is $530 to $730 in the same case, so $1,565 buys the movement and the 200 m. Traska's Chronograph is $1,650 on a Seiko NE86 at 11.8 mm and 75 m; Bravur's Grand Tour is $2,550 on a Sellita SW511b at 100 m. The Nivada is 3.4 mm thicker than the Traska and the only one rated to 200 m; 44.3 mm lug-to-lug is short for a 7750.

The one Kurono still to be sold, at $2,380 excluding VAT and duties, JPY 376,750 tax included, in a single online window on 24 September 2026 at 23:00 JST, one per customer, delivering from the end of October: 38 mm, 11.5 mm with the crystal and 10 mm without, 50 m, Miyota 9122 automatic triple calendar showing month, day and date, Saxe blue dial, sapphire box crystal. Charlie Paris's Alliance Phase de Lune is €1,795 at 39.5 mm and 9 mm on a Soprod C105 with a moonphase; Farer's Stratton Moonphase is $2,075 at 38.5 mm and 11.5 mm. At $2,380 the money is the 38 mm case and Asaoka's dial, not the calibre.

A vitreous enamel dial fired on copper, $2,446 as anOrdain's store shows it to US buyers (£1,790 before VAT) for the hand-wound Sellita SW210-1; the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic adds £320. Three sizes, 35, 38 and 41 mm; the 42 mm lug-to-lug in the table is the small size's, and the 38 shown here is 10.1 mm thick with 16 mm lugs, 50 m, hardened 316L, sapphire with a three-layer AR. Iron Cream, Oxblood and Teal are the same price. The NOMOS Tangente 35 at $2,330 is the dress alternative for $116 less, 6.2 mm on the brand's own calibre; the anOrdain is the enamel, at 3.9 mm thicker.

The cycling chronograph at $2,550: 38.2 mm, 46.3 mm lug-to-lug, 18 mm lug, 100 m, Sellita SW511b automatic chronograph with 62 h, matte black PVD over 316L, sapphire front and back, on rubber, leather or an integrated bracelet. The Grand Tour IV and Sprinter are $2,550 to $2,600. Thickness is not published, and on an automatic chronograph it is the figure that matters most. Nivada's Autochron is $2,295 on an ETA Valjoux 7750 at 38 mm, 44.3 mm and a stated 15.2 mm with 200 m; Traska's Chronograph is $1,650 at 11.8 mm and 75 m. The Grand Tour has the longest reserve of the three at 62 h and the only PVD case, and it is the only one built to order.

The cheaper Grand Seiko and the one with a rating you can write down: 100 m, against the "splash resistant" the SBGW301 above offers for $2,300 more. 37 mm, 44.6 mm lug-to-lug, 10 mm thick, 19 mm lugs, 9F62 quartz rated to plus or minus 10 seconds a year, sapphire, steel, $2,700 on the US site. Grand Seiko's own November 2024 price sheet had it at $2,300; the live page shows $2,700. The Cartier Tank Must SolarBeat above is $1,700 more for the other serious quartz on the page. The 9F is the reason to buy; the rise is the reason to check the page first.

The field watch of the range and the only Straum with a date: NOK 31,000 on FKM rubber, NOK 35,000 with the grade 5 titanium bracelet per the feed, limited to 200, ships March 2027. 38.2 mm, 45.7 mm lug to lug, 11 mm thick, 100 m, in hardened grade 5 titanium with an enlarged screw-down crown and a stepped fixed bezel, La Joux-Perret G100 with 68 hours, BGW9 cast lume. White Lume and Titanium Gray dials cost the same. Against the Jan Mayen Titanium it is 0.5 mm smaller, 0.5 mm thinner, hardened, dated and NOK 1,000 cheaper as listed; the trade is a ship date 3 months later and the cap of 200.

The smaller Spirit, and $300 more than the 40 mm on the same bracelet, which is the odd figure on Longines' US site and one to confirm before ordering; it may be a ceramic-bezel or 2025-priced variant. 37 mm, 100 m, silicon balance spring, COSC stated, sapphire with AR on both sides, Super-LumiNova, steel, $2,850. No thickness, lug-to-lug or lug width published. The King Seiko SJE109 above is $250 more at 39.4 mm with every dimension printed and 50 m; the Spirit keeps the certificate and the 100 m. Buy it for the 37 mm if the 40 wears large; buy the 40 if $300 matters.

A white glazed porcelain dial by anOrdain's in-house artist on the Model 1 case, $3,006 on the maker's US pricing with the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic, and a nine-month wait stated on the page on the check date. 38 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick, 18 mm lugs, 50 m, sapphire with three-layer AR, polished 316L steel; the decorated A1 movement is £2,520 excluding VAT against £2,200. Lume is not stated. The Model 2 above is $376 less in more colours; the Fumé below is $669 more for the graded dial. This is the dial to wait for, and the wait is part of the price.

The blue Disco Volante, the same Peseux 7001 and the same $3,100 (CHF 2,500) as the Havana above, and also marked Retired. What this record adds: BGW9 Super-LumiNova on the dial inserts and hands, a satin and mirror finish on the 316L case, a blue and white leather strap plus a steel mesh bracelet in the box, Swiss Made with bridges hand-finished in Geneva per the maker. 38 mm, 8.95 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 50 m, sapphire front and back. Between the two there is nothing to choose but colour and what remains on the secondary market; the current Disco Onyx Diamonds is CHF 1,000 more.

The Disco Volante in its Havana dial, $3,100 on the maker's US pricing (CHF 2,500 excluding tax), marked Retired on both check dates; the Disco Onyx Diamonds at CHF 3,500 is the only one in stock. There is no automatic in the line; it is the Peseux 7001 hand-wound throughout. 38 mm, 8.95 mm thick with the crystal and 8.10 mm without, 20 mm lugs, 50 m, sapphire front and back with AR and an anti-fingerprint coat, 316L steel. The NOMOS Metro 38 date above is $640 more, 1.15 mm thinner and current. A retired watch is a secondary-market watch; the row records what the maker last asked.

The fumé dial, $3,675 on the maker's US pricing, and the most expensive anOrdain on the page; the feed runs £2,690 to £3,645 across small, medium and large. 38 mm, 16 mm lugs, 50 m, Sellita SW210-1 hand-wound or La Joux-Perret G101 automatic, sapphire with three-layer AR, polished 316L steel. The feed carries no lug-to-lug or thickness for this variant, so both are dashes; Payne's Grey, Plum and Green are the same money. The Porcelain above is $669 less on the same case. The NOMOS Metro 38 date below is $65 more and 3.2 mm thinner than the Porcelain's 11 mm. The dial is the whole argument.

The NOMOS to buy under the line if the Club Sport's 200 m is not the point: a 7.8 mm hand-wound case with a date, $3,740 on the US store. 38.5 mm, 45.3 mm lug-to-lug, 19 mm lugs, 50 m recorded from NOMOS's 5 atm, DUW 4601 with 52 hours, domed sapphire front and back, steel. It is 0.6 mm thinner than the Club Sport neomatik above and $400 less; the Club Sport has 200 m and the automatic. The Tangente neomatik 41 Update below is $1,130 more at the same 7.8 mm with an automatic and a ring date. Hand-winding is the trade.

The hand-wound Brunswick, and at 42 mm the shortest lug-to-lug of any round case on the page: £3,450 including VAT, £2,875 excluding it on cordovan, £3,041.67 excluding VAT on the bracelet. 38 mm, 11.84 mm thick with the closed back and 11.69 mm open, 20 mm lugs, 100 m, La Joux-Perret D100 in TOP grade with 50 hours, sapphire with ARdur on both faces, 316L polished and spun, Heritage Brown cordovan lined in Alcantara. The Brunswick 40 above is £83.33 less on strap for the automatic, 50 m more and 4.5 mm more lug-to-lug. The Grand Seiko SBGW301 among the picks is 2.3 mm longer.

The Sixty-Five to buy if the movement matters more than the rating: Oris's own Calibre 400 with a five-day reserve and no date, 100 m, $4,100 on the US site. 38 mm, 19 mm lugs, sapphire domed on both sides with AR inside, unidirectional bezel with the minutes scale on the top ring, on the bracelet. Oris publishes no thickness, lug-to-lug or lume for it, so three cells are dashes. The ProPilot X Calibre 400 in titanium is $4,800 (39 mm, 20 mm lugs, 100 m; the laser-dial version is $5,750 and over). The Aquis Date 41.5 at $2,600 keeps the Sellita-based Calibre 733-1 and 300 m; the $1,500 between them buys the five-day calibre and gives up 200 m of rating.

The thinnest mechanical watch on the page, and the NOMOS Glashütte with a sports rating: 200 m at 8.4 mm on the brand's own DUW 3001, a 3.2 mm automatic. 37 mm, 47.7 mm lug-to-lug, 18 mm lugs, sapphire with AR inside, Super-LumiNova on numerals, indexes and hands, on the steel bracelet, $4,140 on the US store (€2,860 on the international page). The dress alternatives from the same maker are the Metro 38 date at $3,740 (38.5 mm, 45.3 mm lug-to-lug, 7.8 mm, hand-wound DUW 4601, 52 hours, 50 m) and the Tangente neomatik 41 Update at $4,870 (40.5 mm, 49.3 mm, 7.8 mm, DUW 6101 ring date, 50 m); the Club Campus at $2,070 opens the under-$2,500 list. The 47.7 mm lug-to-lug is long for 37 mm; measure before ordering.

The hand-wound Ophion at EUR 3,620 with a CNC guilloché dial in salmon, silver or blue, or EUR 3,420 in Radial Blue, per the order page; alligator adds EUR 80. 38.5 mm with a 39 mm bezel, 10.35 mm thick, 20 mm lug, 316L steel hand-polished, domed sapphire front and flat back, on a custom calibre built on a Technotime/Soprod base with proprietary bridges and hand-hammered decoration. Lug to lug and water resistance are not published. Against the Vesper it is 0.5 mm smaller, 1.1 mm thinner and EUR 355 less, hand-wound against micro-rotor. The Furlan Marri Disco Volante at CHF 2,500 is the other hand-wound steel dress watch here under 39 mm, on a Peseux 7001 at 8.95 mm.

The one Tudor diver that lands under $5,000 on a bracelet, and the smallest Black Bay. 37 mm, 11.2 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 200 m, MT5400 in-house automatic, COSC, about 70 hours, domed sapphire, unidirectional steel bezel with an aluminium insert and no minute graduations. $4,725 on the bracelet at Exquisite Timepieces and Long's Jewelers, $4,475 on rubber; Tudor shows no US price and publishes no lug-to-lug. From the same maker under the line, the Ranger 39 is $4,025 (MT5402, 12 mm, 100 m; $3,675 on strap) and the Royal 40 $3,675 (MT5633 day-date, 11.4 mm, integrated bracelet). Against the Bremont Supermarine below at $4,150: 3 mm smaller, 0.8 mm thinner, 100 m shallower, and only Tudor states a chronometer certificate.

Exactly $5,000 on the US site, counted as in, and the successor to the SBGW231 most lists still recommend, whose page returns a 404. 37.3 mm, 44.3 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm thick, 19 mm lugs, hand-wound 9S64, box-shaped sapphire with AR inside, steel. Grand Seiko states the water resistance as "splash resistant", which is a description rather than a number, so the WR cell is a dash. The King Seiko SJE109 below at $3,100 is 0.7 mm shorter lug-to-lug, 1.8 mm thinner and automatic; the SBGX261 quartz at $2,700 is the cheaper Grand Seiko, in the under-$2,500 list's notes. The $5,000 buys the hand-wound 9S64 and the Grand Seiko dial; it does not buy a rating you can write down.

CHF 4,200 before taxes, 100 pieces for 2026, sold out on the check date. A 38 mm diver in stonewashed grade 23 titanium, 46.2 mm lug-to-lug, 11.2 mm thick (8.9 mm without the crystal), 300 m, on Laventure's Calibre 4, a Sellita SW300-1 base with COSC and 56 hours. The crystal is Plexiglass in a chimney profile and the bezel is fixed, which makes it a 300 m watch with no elapsed-time scale; the dimensions are Monochrome's, not the maker's. Against the Tudor Pelagos 39 above: 1 mm smaller, 0.6 mm thinner, 100 m deeper, and a run that closed. The fixed bezel and the acrylic are the trade.

The dress watch, HKD 45,900, and the only current model under 40 mm: 38 mm, 46 mm lug to lug, 11.3 mm thick, 100 m, 904L steel, 20 mm lug, on hand-stitched Epsom or Zermatt leather. The dial is hand-hammered 925 silver under grand feu fumé enamel from Kong Lingjun's workshop, with Chinese calligraphy or Arabic numerals, on the same customised Pequignet EPM03 as the Perception v3, 65 hours, rated at plus or minus 2 seconds a day on average. Domed sapphire front and back; 9.05 mm without them. The launch-edition order window had closed at check. Against the Perception v3 the HKD 8,150 buys enamel over guilloché, 2 mm less case and 0.9 mm more thickness.

The cheapest Omega at US list, $6,200 on the bracelet and $5,800 on leather, the 2025 reference with the 8806 Co-Axial Master Chronometer (METAS). 38 mm, 150 m, sapphire, a fixed bezel, 316L steel. Omega's technical tab did not load, so thickness and between-lugs are dashes, and the 150 m is Omega's Railmaster figure rather than a line from the fetched page. Against the Tudor Black Bay 41 at $5,325: $875 more, 3 mm smaller, a METAS certificate against COSC plus METAS, no rotating bezel and no date. What Omega sells here is the certificate and the finishing it does not quantify.

CHF 5,500 before taxes on the bracelet, sold out and on a waitlist on the check date. A 38 mm GMT in grade 2 titanium, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.6 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 300 m, domed sapphire front and back, a sapphire dial with X1 lume, the 24-hour scale an internal bidirectional ring rather than a bezel, a Sellita SW330.M2 for MING with about 50 hours. The shortest lug-to-lug on the page, 0.95 mm under the Formex Aria, and 5.7 mm thicker than it. Against the Grand Seiko SBGE285: 3 mm smaller, 3.8 mm shorter, 200 m deeper, and no page on which to buy it today.

$7,100, the same as the 41 mm, and on the check date the US page said this reference was currently unavailable online; the newer 38 mm steel-on-steel references beside it, marked NEW, list $7,400. 38 mm, 150 m, the 8800 Co-Axial Master Chronometer (METAS) with 55 hours, sapphire, a fixed bezel, 316L steel, blue dial, on the bracelet. No thickness or between-lugs. It is the smaller Aqua Terra at $900 over the Railmaster 38, and the $900 buys the date and the 8800 in place of the 8806; the sheet shows nothing else between them. The Railmaster is the plainer watch and the one Omega was selling online that day.

The one 37 mm hi-beat on the site, and a better proportion than the 40 mm Grand Seikos for anyone under seven inches of wrist: 44.6 mm lug-to-lug, 13.3 mm thick, 100 m, the 9S85 running at ten beats a second, $7,300 on the US site. The thickness is the trade for the high beat and the ice-blue Mt Iwate dial is the reason people search for it. The Snowflake at $6,900 is the Spring Drive alternative for $400 less and 3 mm more case; the Explorer 36 at $7,900 is the Swiss one at the same size.

The El Primero in its 38 mm case, $11,100 on the bracelet on the US page, with a $10,600 strap version beside it. The 3600 calibre reads to a tenth of a second and Zenith prints no thickness, lug-to-lug or water resistance for it on the page, which is unusual at this price and is stated here as a fact rather than a complaint. Against the Navitimer it is 3 mm smaller across and $800 more on the bracelet; against the Speedmaster it is the automatic with the higher beat.

The thin one, EUR 15,000 to 30,000 and more excluding VAT, EUR 8,000 deposit, about 9 months, 50 a year: 38.5 mm, 45.5 mm lug to lug, 8.5 mm thick, 50 m, in 316L steel, grade 5 titanium or tantalum on application, sapphire front and back, on the La Joux-Perret 7380 as SBM01, hand-wound, 2.9 mm, 3 Hz, 90 hours, NAC finish, 20/18 mm quick-release lugs. Feed editions Sunflower at EUR 12,700 and Uchū at EUR 15,800 were sold out. Against the SB04-E it is 1 mm smaller, 1.8 mm thinner, hand-wound and 3 times the starting price. The Formex Aria at $7,900 is 6.9 mm on a micro-rotor with COSC, in titanium, from stock.

The platinum Brunswick at £21,000 with platinum indices or £23,500 diamond-set, listed unavailable and built to order in more than 6 months: 38 mm, 20 mm lug, 30 m, La Joux-Perret D100 hand-wound, a Platinum 950 case of about 100 g carrying London Assay Office hallmarks, on a handmade black Kevlar strap. Lug-to-lug, thickness and crystal are not stated on the maker's feed, which is why the table has blanks. The steel Brunswick 38 Charcoal Rose runs the same D100 at £2,875, so £18,125 is the metal and the hallmarks. Nothing else in this site's data is cased in platinum. Confirm the dimensions with Fears before paying the deposit.

Habring² publishes no prices, which Austrian VAT law is cited for, so the Erwin sits on this site without a figure and is placed by what its maker does publish: a jumping deadbeat seconds on a movement the Habrings build themselves in Völkermarkt. It is the only watch in the data with that complication and the only one whose price you have to ask a dealer for. A US dealer article put it at $6,400; that is not the maker's number and is not printed as one. The nearest thing on the site by idea is the Nomos Tangente, hand-wound and in-house at $2,330, without the dead seconds.

The classic-series Kurono, and the row with no price, because the brand page showed none on 19 September 2026, only Sold Out: 37 mm, 30 m, sapphire, 316L high-polished, 20 mm lug and 16 mm at the buckle, an automatic whose calibre the page does not name. The collection page lists the Seiji, Toki, Mori and Bunkyo Tokyo together, all sold out, and the all-products collection was empty. It is in the table so the range is complete; it is not something a buyer can act on. A 37 mm Japanese dress automatic that can be bought this month is Serica's 1174 Parade at $1,760, 35 mm and 8.2 mm on a COSC Soprod, which is Swiss, not Japanese.

The collaboration with J.N. Shapiro of Los Angeles, and a row with no price because the archive page showed none on 20 September 2026, only the excluding-taxes suffix: a grade-2 titanium dial hand engine-turned by Shapiro and heat-coloured by Ming Thein, in the 38 mm steel case, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.9 mm thick, 100 m, domed sapphire front and rear with HyCeram indices inside the top crystal, on a Sellita SW210.M1 hand-wound with about 42 hours. Orders were paused with the waitlist open; delivery slots were filled through late 2027. Atelier Wen's Ancestra puts a hand-hammered silver and enamel dial on a Pequignet at $5,850, 38 mm and 11.3 mm, and shows the price.

The 37.09 Bluefin is sold out with deliveries complete and Ming says it will not be made again; the price has been removed from the page, and the maker showed no price on the check date. The last provenance is the archive page read on 20 September, no figure; a snippet's CHF 4,950 is not adopted. 38 mm, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, the shortest on the page, 12.8 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Sellita SW300.M1 for Ming with about 50 hours, 600 m, domed sapphire front and back with double AR. Nothing buyable here is 600 m at 44.5 mm; the Vertex is 600 m at 48.9 mm.

The 37.09 Uni is the Bluefin's case in matte-brushed DLC, and it is the same story: sold out, deliveries complete, not to be produced again, and the maker showed no price on the check date. The last provenance is the product page read on 20 September, price slot empty; Ming's home page had called it in stock the day before. 38 mm, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12.8 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 600 m, Sellita SW300.M1, domed sapphire both sides with the indices lumed in Grade X1 under the crystal, a fixed bezel, moulded FKM rubber on a tuck buckle. The Bluefin is the steel version; neither is orderable.
