    This Dunhill handwinding cushion is 30mm - I only really wear it with a dinner jacket, so not very often these days



    1951/52 Smiths De Luxe gets worn from time to time



    As does this Record dirty dozen



    I regret selling this Air King 5500 to fund an Explo 1



    I guess this 1940s LIP T18, which I was wearing today must qualify

    Some lovely watches and I do love a Dunhill. Do you know when that one was made?

    This was an inexpensive SC impulse purchase, a couple of years ago.

    33mm case (just measured it) which surprises me, as it wears more like 35 or even 36; I assume because the dial takes up most of the space.

    Yup, it was made to celebrate the brand's centenary - so 1993.

    The majority of my collection is 36mm or less, but this is my latest and at only 32mm…

    Those posting 36mm watches, please re-read the the thread title - LESS THAN 36mm, not 36mm or less!

    A couple of 34mm watches I had, long ago... But 36mm is generally my minimum. I'd like to know if a 35mm gold dress watch would work as it would open up some vintage options.

    Actually, the OP asked for "watches with dials less than 36mm in diameter" but might have meant cases less than 36mm...but that's not what was asked for

    Universal G polrouter from 1957.

    This one just squeezes in at 35.5mm. An early 1957mUniversal Geneva Polrouter, asymmetric case never polished to my eye, almost Speedmaster like with bumper movement and rare type hand set I believe. Just a gorgeous wee watc.









    With another gilt friend from the past 1964 Rolex OP.


    Have a great Sunday,
    Mike

    I’ve got one of these with a black and red dial, which I really love wearing as my wrists are very small so it works well for me.

    Great watch for work, keeps good time and slips easily under a shirt cuff.

    A few of mine. Most of these would even qualify for the sub 34mm thread I think:

    I have been wearing a 34 mm Omega for the last 5 days and have taken quite a shine to it, it just looks more elegant and less vulgar than the Rolex I normally wear.

    I would never be surprised to see the market revert to the smaller and slimmer watches.

    Two from me. First is a 35mm Seiko SuS that I picked up from SC recently. A neat little watch and I love the Mark 11 inspired dial.



    The second is a vintage Longines. An occasional wearer for me that I’ll be moving along to fund something else but the dial is to my eyes beautiful. Not that my photo captured that very well.

    Just took delivery of this little minty 33mm Hamilton Khaki from the 90s. Wears more like a 36mm. Very happy with it!

    I should have mentioned, this is the quartz one too. I was really tempted to pick up one of the older 9721 khaki models, in the cases that look like the Smiths W10 or Hamilton 6B watches.

    This Hamilton also makes me want to pick up a Grand Seiko 34mm with 9f movement, the SBGX347.

    Bought one of these for the missus, which she loves and wears on an 18mm blue faux aligator strap.


    But it came on a nice bullet bracelet that gives it a nice, integrated look.

    I'm tempted.

    A 37mm TAG Heuer F1 Pro is smallest watch I wear.
