Tank Automatique Jumbo 28mm

How it wears
Wears larger than its 28 mm case suggests
Cartier Tank Automatique Jumbo 28mm measures 35 mm lug-to-lug on a 28 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.25 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 97% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 73% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 39 mm (1.54 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 47 mm (1.85 in) it starts to look compact. Below 35 mm (1.38 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
