How the Tangente 38 wears
Its lugs reach 10.2 mm past the 37.5 mm case, more than the 7.1 mm typical across the almanac, so it wears larger than its diameter suggests.
On our fit model it sits best on wrists from 6.75" to 8" (17.1–20.3 cm); below 6.75" the lugs start to reach the edge of the wrist.
At 6.8 mm thick it is slimmer than 98% of the 56 other dress watches we've measured, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most.
Its 19 mm lug width is one of the most common strap sizes; 21 other watches here share it, so aftermarket straps are easy to find.
Will the Tangente 38 fit your wrist?
With a 47.7 mm lug-to-lug, here is how it wears across common wrist sizes. We estimate the flat top of each wrist from its circumference; measure yours for a closer answer in the fit finder.
| Wrist | Flat width (est.) | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| 6" | 47.2 mm | Lugs overhang |
| 6.5" | 51.2 mm | Snug, lugs near the edge |
| 7" | 55.1 mm | Ideal fit |
| 7.5" | 59.1 mm | Ideal fit |
| 8" | 63 mm | Ideal fit |
