Cartier Privé Tank Normale Skeleton 27.8mm
Privé Tank Normale Skeleton
How it wears
Wears larger than its 27.8 mm case suggests
Cartier Privé Tank Normale Skeleton 27.8mm measures 35.2 mm lug-to-lug on a 27.8 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.27 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 97% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 73% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 40 mm (1.57 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 47 mm (1.85 in) it starts to look compact. Below 35.2 mm (1.39 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
At 8.15 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 93% of the watches with a listed thickness.
