Sizing notes

  • 17 mm is the gap between the lugs, so a 17 mm band goes in without adapters. Whether it sits flush against a 25 mm case depends on how that case is shaped.
  • 17 mm is an odd size: most ready-made bands are made in even widths, so this reference needs one cut to measure or a band that runs in odd sizes. Why some watches take odd sizes →
  • Inside the Tank Française family the lug width is not one number: it runs 15, 17, 18, 20, 22 mm. This reference is the 17 mm one, so a band bought for another Tank Française may not fit it. Why the size changes inside a family →
  • 17 mm is not a common size: only 569 of the 41,485 watches measured take it (1.4%), so ready-made choice at this width is narrower than at 20 or 22 mm. Every watch that takes 17 mm →
