Tank Chinoise Large 29.2mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 29.2 mm case suggests

Cartier Tank Chinoise Large 29.2mm measures 40 mm lug-to-lug on a 29.2 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.37 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 92% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 51% of the 196 Cartier watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 45 mm (1.77 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 54 mm (2.13 in) it starts to look compact. Below 40 mm (1.57 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
