The Rise of Big Watches in the Industry

Explore the trend of larger watch sizes in the industry, highlighting six stunning examples of oversized timepieces.

In recent years, the watch industry has seen a shift towards larger watch sizes. While this is not a new phenomenon, the current trend seems to be stronger than ever before. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, watch sizes had increased significantly to 43mm and above in some cases. However, despite the preference for smaller watches, there are certain timepieces that require a larger case to function effectively.

Another standout watch is the [brand] [model]. This timepiece features a 43mm stainless steel case with a rubber-coated bezel that matches the gradient tones of the dial.

This watch is priced at [price].

The [brand] [model], on the other hand, is a very different beast. With a sizeable 45mm case and 14.4mm height, it is one of the larger watches on the market.

Limited to 50 pieces, it comes with a light blue sapphire crystal case and a translucent rubber strap. Its price is set at [price].

When it comes to big watches, divers are often the first to come to mind. The [brand] [model] is a prime example of this. Made of full yellow gold, this timepiece has a 44mm case and a height of 17.7mm. Although it may be daunting in size and weight, it is a bold and striking watch that demands attention. It retails for [price].

The contemporary high-speed chronograph, [brand] [model], features a 45mm stainless steel case that is fully mirror-polished for a dazzling look. It has an array of subdials and indications, with a movement that uses two regulating organs for optimal precision. This non-limited edition watch is priced at [price].

Lastly, the [brand] [model] acts as a proper flight instrument on the wrist. With numerous indications and scales for in-flight calculations, this 44mm watch strikes the right balance between size and legibility. Powered by the Calibre H-21-Si, it is priced at [price].
