It’s the lug to to lug length
1815 up/down, 39.5mm in diameter, is 46mm lug to lug. My 1815 AC, 40mm in diameter, is 47mm lug to lug. The 1815 chrono lug to lug length is 48.2mm which is an issue for me. And yes, you are right, the Datograph is 48.2mm also and the basic Zeitwark model is 50mm, again big for my wrist.

While I don’t have both watches and ultimately the answer is what always comes up which is it is entirely a personal preference but here is my two cents. I do see the differences between the 1815 AC and the 1815 up/down (especially the fact that the up/do...
Have you considered?

the Lange Saxonia Annual Calendar? It wears smaller than the 1815 AC with a lug to lug distance of 47.4 mm. It also has a nice outsize date (Lange DNA!) - it makes sense to want to have a legible date on an AC. Also, in my opinion the layout is more balan...
