The Cartier Tank Américaine Medium Ref. CRWB710011 combines 18K white gold luxury with 143 brilliant-cut diamonds and a refined automatic movement.
The Cartier Tank Américaine Medium Ref. CRWB710011 is a breathtaking expression of luxury, refinement, and architectural beauty. More than a watch, it is a sculptural work of art, designed for those who appreciate the seamless blend of heritage craftsmanship and modern sophistication. Its elongated silhouette, iconic Tank profile, and radiant presence encapsulate over a century of Cartier excellence, making this timepiece both contemporary and eternally classic.
Inspired by the original Tank watch of 1917, the Tank Américaine elevates Louis Cartier’s visionary concept of transforming geometric architecture into wearable design. The medium model enhances this tradition with a slender, curved rectangular case that hugs the wrist beautifully. Its clean lines, balanced proportions, and signature Tank geometry preserve the bold personality of the original while offering a refined, elongated elegance suited to modern tastes.
The case is crafted in 18K white gold with rhodium coating, giving the watch its brilliant, icy luminosity. Cartier artisans meticulously polish every surface to achieve a mirror-like finish, enhancing the play of light across the elongated case. The matching 18K white gold bracelet integrates seamlessly with the design, creating a unified aesthetic that embodies Cartier’s mastery in shaping precious metals into timeless forms.
Adorning the watch are 143 brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of 1.38 carats, expertly set on the case and faceted crown. Each stone is selected for its exceptional clarity and fire, transforming the watch into a high-jewelry masterpiece. The diamonds accentuate the Tank’s architectural lines, while the diamond-set crown serves as a dazzling focal point—an unmistakable symbol of Cartier’s jewelry heritage.
The silvered flinqué guilloché dial showcases one of Cartier’s most treasured decorative techniques. Its hand-engraved pattern interacts beautifully with light, giving the dial a subtle, elegant radiance. The surface forms a perfect backdrop for the Roman numerals and the blued-steel sword-shaped hands, elements that embody Cartier’s commitment to timeless aesthetics and superior legibility.
The elegant blued-steel sword-shaped hands are created through a traditional heating technique that gives the steel its vibrant deep-blue hue. This signature detail not only enhances readability but also reflects Cartier’s dedication to preserving classical watchmaking techniques. Against the textured silver dial, the hands offer a striking visual contrast and complete the watch’s refined composition.
Inside the case beats a Swiss-made automatic mechanical movement, ensuring precise timekeeping with every wear. Designed for reliability and effortless performance, the movement winds naturally through wrist motion, eliminating the need for manual winding. This harmony between technical excellence and aesthetic luxury underscores Cartier’s mastery of mechanical artistry.
The watch features refined dimensions of 41.6 × 22.6 mm with a 9.65 mm thickness, achieving the perfect balance between slender elegance and presence on the wrist. Its curved case ensures a comfortable fit, while the 18K white gold bracelet, sized for a 170 mm wrist, drapes smoothly and luxuriously. Each link is polished and engineered for flexibility, offering both comfort and impeccable style.
Despite its high-jewelry appeal, the watch is built for daily wear. It features a durable mineral crystal, protecting the dial from everyday scratches, and offers water resistance up to 3 bar (~30 meters). This combination of durability and opulence allows the Tank Américaine to transition effortlessly from day to evening, making it a versatile companion for any occasion.
The Tank Américaine Medium Ref. WB710011 is a celebration of Cartier’s legacy of artistry, innovation, and timeless design. With its white gold case, diamond setting, and automatic movement, it embodies the perfect union of haute horlogerie and fine jewelry craftsmanship.
