The Megalodon, perhaps unsurprisingly, is unlike any other watch I’ve ever worn. With the Megalodon 4 on wrist or simply in my hands, I am unable to see anything other than its almost ridiculous size.
49mm wide at the bezel and nearly 20 mm thick, it is a large watch by any comparison and you had better prefer rolling up your sleeves as the Megalodon 4 will not fit under any standard cuff.
That said, if you close your eyes or simply go on with your day, you’ll soon forget just how large the Megalodon is as its “visual weight” is not at all a strong indication of how it wears once strapped to your wrist.
The Megalodon 4’s 55mm lug to lug length is actually rather short for its 47mm frame. For comparison, consider the 42mm Helson Shark Diver has a 51.5 mm lug to lug measurement. The lightness and comfort of the Megalodon is surprising given its size and it should suit any wrist providing the owner prefers a big watch or simply has a very large wrist.
While the Megalodon has been available in many different variations of case materials/finishing, bezel design and dial color, it has always shown its signature over-sized hands and dial markers which are designed to be reminiscent of the teeth from the prehistoric shark, the Megalodon. I think the shape is both distinctive and very successful in terms of being practical (triangular shapes work well for markers and these are very large so they can handle a lot of luminous paint), aesthetically interesting and rather unique.
