Downsizing: Six New Watches Under 40 MM from Top Brands

While it's still more common than not to see watches landing over the 40-mm mark, it's a good sign for the industry, especially those with dainty wrists, that we're slowly shifting back to more classically-proportioned timepieces We rounded up six watches from the past few years, all from top brands, that embrace the sub-40-mm fit One of the most discussed watches of 2018 - perhaps only overshadowed by its travel-time, Pepsi-colored sibling - is without a doubt Tudor's Black Bay Fifty-Eight.

The new watch condenses what we love about the Black Bay family into a smaller 39-mm by 11.9-mm frame and retains what else we love about Tudor's most well-known collection The new Base Logo model is an ideal entry-level piece with an in-house movement for the aspiring Paneristi at less than $5,000, and the update to the Luminor Due line embraced a whole new status quo for the brand The Grand Seiko SBGH263 is a prime example of why the upscale Japanese marque is one of the most remarkable watch brands working today.

One of the best watches Rolex introduced this year came in steel but it was not a sport or travel-time model. . Source
