Size Guide: Elegance is a Matter of Proportion

Choosing a Grimoldi Milano watch means embracing a unique aesthetic where Italian design meets technical precision. For a timepiece to fully express its character, it must sit harmoniously on your wrist.

In this guide, we will help you identify the perfect size for your new watch or a replacement strap.

1. How to Choose the Case Size

The case is the heart of the watch. Choosing the diameter depends not only on your wrist size but also on the style you wish to project: an iconic, bold statement or a more discreet elegance.

  • Slim Wrist (14 - 16 cm): We recommend case sizes between 34mm and 38mm.
  • Medium Wrist (16 - 18 cm): The ideal size ranges between 39mm and 42mm.
  • Large Wrist (over 18 cm): You can go bold with cases from 43mm up to 47mm or models with unique shapes (such as our iconic oval design).

Expert Tip: Don't just look at the diameter. The lug-to-lug distance (the total length from top to bottom) determines how the watch sits. Ensure the lugs do not overhang the edges of your wrist.

2. Find Your Wrist Size (DIY)

To measure your wrist circumference in seconds:

  1. Take a flexible measuring tape.
  2. Wrap it around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
  3. Note the exact measurement without pulling too tight.
Don't have a measuring tape? Use a piece of string or a strip of paper, mark the meeting point, and measure the length with a standard ruler.

3. Strap Guide: Comfort and Style

The strap is the finishing touch. For our leather, rubber, or steel models, it is essential to know the lug width (the space between the two protrusions of the case where the strap attaches).

  • Common Sizes: Usually expressed in millimeters (18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm).
  • Standard Length: Our straps are designed to fit most wrists, but we offer custom solutions for those seeking a "sartorial" fit.
