If the face has to be 40mm then the pen has to be of the larger variety ie. Full size Gent, Emperor to name a few should work.
If my math is correct, the OD of the brass tube has to be greater than 12.7 mm minimum.

Could you share your math? I'd like to understand
I love it that you solved that with math. The circumference of the tube must be greater than the width of the watchface. When I put larger faces on tubes I cut a piece of tape to the width of the watch face and then wrap it around tubes to make sure it doesn't overlap.
