Q: What are the requirements for a watch to go with a suit?
A: There used to be an unwritten rule that you shouldn't wear a dive watch with a suit, but that's no longer the case.
Nowadays, not only in Japan and America, but also in Europe, where fashion is very important, many people are matching their suits with diver's watches or sports watches.Watch ThicknessIt will be.
Generally, it is considered desirable for a watch to be 13mm or less in thickness to be paired with a suit. This is because watches that are thicker than that tend to get caught in the sleeves of a shirt. For this reason, manufacturers are trying to limit the case thickness of business watches to 9mm or more and 13mm or less. Watches that are less than 9mm thick are thin and attractive, but they require careful handling.
Models with a case thickness of 13mm or less
