Sizing notes

  • This reference has drilled lugs: the spring bars are accessible from the outside, which makes band changes easier and safer on the case.
  • Any 17 mm band fits this reference, in leather, rubber or fabric.
  • 17 mm is an odd size: most ready-made bands are made in even widths, so this reference needs one cut to measure or a band that runs in odd sizes. Why some watches take odd sizes →
  • Inside the Bubbleback family the lug width is not one number: it runs 16, 17, 20 mm. This reference is the 17 mm one, so a band bought for another Bubbleback may not fit it. Why the size changes inside a family →
  • 17 mm is not a common size: only 569 of the 41,485 watches measured take it (1.4%), so ready-made choice at this width is narrower than at 20 or 22 mm. Every watch that takes 17 mm →
