If you have a small wrist or if you just prefer a low-profile watch, try these best watches in the 36mm-38mm range. We have some great picks for you!
1. Baltic MR01 Gold PVD 36mm - Stitched Saffiano Black Strap
With its clean lines, black-and-gold combination, Breguet appliques, and 36mm case, this variant of the Baltic MR01 makes the perfect dress watch for both men and women with small wrists. It's classic, classy, and affordable.
A micro-rotor design gives the MR01 its thin profile. Powering the watch is the Hangzhou CAL5000a movement, which is visible through the glass caseback. You can't really go wrong with a gold PVD and black strap combination—it just looks amazing in person.
2. Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Auto 36mm
A 36mm pilot's watch? You read that right. This robust, highly readable "flieger"-inspired timepiece is a great daily wearer for the adventurous. Strap it to your wrist and you're all set to carpe diem.
Powered by the H-10 automatic movement, the Khaki Aviation Pilot features a Nivachron balance spring, an 80-hour power reserve, and 100m of water resistance. The half-skeletonised sword hands and the arrow-tipped seconds hand add a bit whoomph to the design.
The Khaki Aviation Pilot 36mm, with its deep blue dial inspired by the sky, is designed to be your trusted companion for everyday adventures.
3. Fears Brunswick 38 Salmon
Is any watch collection really complete without a salmon dial in it? Our top pick is this 38mm vintage-inspired gem from Fears. It's a sporty daily wearer that's also at home as a dress watch.
The Brunswick 38 comes with a cushion-shaped case, brushed dial, and skeletonised hands. Notice the hand-applied warm-grey indices which feature the "Edwin" typeface specially designed for Fears.
You can pair the rich-toned dial with a black Bristol Leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet. If you want a glimpse of the manual-winding ETA 7001 movement, opt for the open-caseback variant.
4. Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 3.6.9 Tropical
If your style reads classic and sporty, try this vintage timepiece from Nivada Grenchen reissued by popular demand. This model's big highlight is its tropical dial which has been aged intentionally to give it that authentic vintage feel.
The golden medallion on the case back is an alluring touch. It hides the SOPROD P024 movement that powers this 38mm watch.
While we love the brown-dialled, with the matching racing strap displayed here, you have a few other dial and strap options to pick from.
5. Baltic Prismic Green
Step into the 1920s with this small yet redefined 36mm cocktail watch. While these type of timepieces originally catered to women, this modern take is more unisex in its approach. It has a complex dial with a radial guilloche pattern surrounded by a brushed sector topped by applied indices.
The Prismic runs on the Peseux 7001, a Swiss mechanical movement known for its precision and reliability.
We're in awe of this green-dialled version that comes with an integrated Milanese bracelet. The other dial colours—blue-grey and salmon—are equally stunning. If you're looking for something stylish to add on your wrist, the Prismic more than fits the bill.
6. Furlan Marri Disco Volante - Disco Celeste
"Disco Volantes" are (often lugless) watches with stepped or decorated bezels. This 38mm version has a cream-and-green combination. The varied concentric circle pattern paired with the stepped bezels gives a complex, mesmerising look to the dial. The lume rings on it are just the touch of whimsy a futuristic design like this needs.
Powering this beauty of a timepiece is the simple manual-winding calibre Peseux 7001, revamped by Furlan Marri for this design.
Overall, this is a striking remake of a striking watch. If dressy and old school is what you're looking for, you can't go wrong with a Furlan Marri Disco Volante.
7. Nivada Grenchen F77 Dark Ceramic Meteorite
Add a dash of '70s swagger to your small wrist with this stone-dial reissue of Nivada Grenchen's take on the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. It makes a great "sporty chic" option for daily wear and comes with a surprising cosmic twist.
Encased within a sleek 37mm frame, the dial, surprisingly, is crafted from an authentic piece of meteorite, and adorned with ethereal grey patterns that shimmer with celestial charm. The black ceramic case and bracelet combo lend an otherworldly allure, as if the watch itself has just now descended from the stars.
Regardless of whether your wrist is small or big, you're sure to find the watch of your dreams in our store! Come on down to our Watch Discovery Studio on Collins Street, Melbourne and give these watches a try.
