Top 5 Largest Wrist Watches

Brace yourself, because your oversized wrist watch is nothing compared to these incredibly large units. Some watches are so huge that you may wonder whether anyone can actually wear them for longer than a couple of hours. Here are the top 5 largest wrist watches in the world.

5. Invicta Grand Arsenal Reserve 80188
With a gold tone casing measuring an astonishing 63 mm, this is a real beauty – and although the smallest one in this list, it is much, much bigger than the 30-40 mm watches you generally see on the market. It has a Swiss quartz movement, since Invicta started out as a Swiss watch brand but was sold to a US based company in 1991. Can you see yourself walking around with this one-pound watch on your wrist? It's certainly a real eye-catcher.


4. U-boat U 1942
This Italian watch with Swiss movement has a stylish casing with a diameter of 64.4 mm. The design is based on an Italian military watch from the 1940s that never saw production, and with a water resistance up to 400 metres it is a great divers' watch. The U-boat U 1942 was released as a limited edition of only 29 pieces. One particularly unique detail on this watch is a long, retractable crown on the left side.


3. Ennebi 5218-MM Titanic Black
A divers watch that is extremely large but yet very stylish? Only the Italians can create such a jewel. The design and manufacturing of this Ennebi 5218-MM Titanic Black was requested by an English watch collector. Alessandro Bettarini took the honour of designing it and did so well that Ennebi decided to produce 89 pieces. It has a unique design based solely on the operational needs of a divers' watch. It is water resistant up to 300 metres, with a water tightness up to 30 Mpa. Oh, and it is pretty large too: 65 mm wide. 


2. Grand Daddy DZ7262 - Diesel
With a wrist case measuring 73 x 66 mm this is one enormous watch. Only 1,000 of these “Big Ben” wrist watches were sold, making this limited edition Diesel Grand Daddy DZ7262 extra valuable and special today! The perfect watch if you travel a lot; it features four individual chronograph movements so you can use one clock for four time zones at once. You just have to remember which movement represents which time zone…


1. Musk MR2919
This wrist watch is so big, it makes you wonder: is bigger really better? No one will top you in size when you wear the Musk MR2919. It may take great strength to wear the Music, since it weighs 715 grams. And it doesn’t just tell time; it is equipped with a Fahrenheit and a Celcius thermometer, as well as an alarm and a hygrometer.
