This article has been brewing with me for some time now, coinciding with my taste for diversity. I will admit to being too preachy about small-cased wonders. Yes, a 37–38mm watch will almost always wear better and less noticeably than a big 42–44mm bruiser. But there is a time, a season, and a trip for everything, including big watches and these comfortable beasts. Yes, they do exist.
I don’t mean the kind of trip where you get hypnotized by your fumé dial after one Negroni too many. I mean a summer trip, one where you explore the local woodlands, climb the odd mountain, and visit places where a big, tough, legible tool watch is the right one for the job without it sitting on your wrist like a floaty, flat, and top-heavy brick. Comfort can indeed come in big sizes, trust me...
