For your wrist size, I would go tang buckle as you will need thicker straps to help the ZW fit smaller. You can also go with the deployant buckle BUT you would have to order some bespoke straps in XS length and request them to be thicker at the lug end...

but also thin enough to pass through the buckle end which is a bit tougher đ€·ââïžđ

Zeitwerk on 6" wrist?
By: diracpoint : August 18th, 2021-21:13
Hello Purists, Curious about your thoughts on how Zeitwerk (ref 140.029), WG, black dial wears on small wrists. My wrist is about 6 inches (~ 15cm) in diameter and top part is about 5 cm, which approximately matches the lug-to-lug distance. I know that it...
It would look huge on your wrist

My wrist is exactly the same size as yours. I tried it on and looked ridiculously large. Unfortunately, with a certain wrist size you can't have everything.
Sorry, would be too big

Not just the diameter at 42mm, but also the height at 12.6mm and it doesnât taper at all. It would lose its elegance on a small wrist. Lange makes a bunch of watches at 38.5mm, many of the Lange 1 and the Saxoniaâs.
Honestly... It doesn't look great on a small wrist...

I'd pass on the ZW. They're painful to wind. Difficult to live with. And they're not that reliable. They're not comfortable too, they're thick, heavy, and you strap them fairly tight on your wrist (since they'd somersault on your wrist due to the weight)....
Nope.

Thanks holdemchamp! Follow-up question ...

do you have any advice re buckle - tang vs deployant (of which I think there are a few variations ... regular, butterfly etc.) Thanks!
One more data point...

6" wrist (same as yours) and platinum ZW Striking Time (larger and heavier than a standard ZW) here. I wear it on a custom short-length strap with the detachable (quick-release) Lange deployant buckle that's typically found on the Lange 31 and certain oth...
Great info!
