Tank Anglaise Medium 29.8mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 29.8 mm case suggests

Cartier Tank Anglaise Medium 29.8mm measures 39.2 mm lug-to-lug on a 29.8 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.32 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 93% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 53% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 44 mm (1.73 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 53 mm (2.09 in) it starts to look compact. Below 39.2 mm (1.54 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
