The Oversized Vintage Watches of Yesteryear Are Perfectly Sized Today

Today, most men's watches tend to hover around 40mm to 42mm in diameter The watches of yesteryear tended to run around 33mm to 36mm Too small for modern wearers.

There are a considerable amount of 38mm watches today, but back in the mod 20th century, a fair share of watchmakers produced "Jumbo" sized watches that crept into this range What we like: This classy Omega from the '50s measures in at 38mm and is part of a general trend of larger, "Calatrava" cased watches from the era The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

What we like: This Longines has the sleek, minimalist aesthetic you'd expect from a modern watch, but according to the seller, it dates back to the 1940s What we like: Today, Breitling has practically become synonymous with super big watches, but its classic chronographs from the 20th century were a lot smaller, like most other sports watches. .
