Cartier Tank Américaine Tank Americaine Medium 22.6mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 22.6 mm case suggests

Cartier Tank Américaine Tank Americaine Medium 22.6mm measures 41.6 mm lug-to-lug on a 22.6 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.84 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 88% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 46% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 47 mm (1.85 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 56 mm (2.20 in) it starts to look compact. Below 41.6 mm (1.64 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
