Monaco 39mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 39 mm case suggests

TAG Heuer Monaco 39mm measures 39 mm lug-to-lug on a 39 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.00 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 93% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 91% of the 116 TAG Heuer watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 44 mm (1.73 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 52 mm (2.05 in) it starts to look compact. Below 39 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.
