Yes, the profile shape says more about organic fit than any usual dimension.
I scratched through my images to find profiles, and found these (with apologies to those with slow internet):
1958 Bulova His Excellency, caliber 10BP;
1946 JLC ref. 2953, showing a currently rare feature, the deeply domed back:
Ebel Classic 100 anniversary edition:
Elegant vs. Hip, ca. early 1960's Ebel cal 214 and 1968 Zodiac SST:
Movado Datron Reissue:
Heuer 1963 Carrera Re-Edition:
Ebel Classic Hexagon GMT:
Ebel Sportwave Aquatica 500--a diver can have an interesting profile:
Ebel Sport Automatic, made to be looked at from the side:
One More Ebel, a Tekton, Ebel's biggest watch ever:
Concord C1 Big-Date:
Concord C1 Chronograph in black titanium and rose gold:
What makes the very large Cartier Santos 100 XL wear well (pardon the fuzzy pic):
Finally, a Seiko Ananta Spring Drive. Only a mother could love this profile, and seeing this one from the side is something I can't unsee. I didn't consider buying it because of the profile.
