The Cartier Tank Américaine Ref. CRWGTA0299 is a refined small model watch in 18K yellow gold, featuring a high-autonomy quartz movement and a sleek leather strap
The Cartier Tank Américaine Ref. CRWGTA0299 represents a continuation of Cartier’s long-standing commitment to elegant watchmaking rooted in architectural beauty. Introduced as a small model, this version of the Tank Américaine retains all the distinctive features that define the collection while offering a more delicate, wrist-friendly format. Perfectly suited for those who prefer timeless style in a compact size, it is a piece that resonates with both connoisseurs and first-time Cartier wearers alike.
The Tank Américaine was introduced in 1989 as a reinterpretation of the Tank Cintrée, elongating and curving the iconic rectangular form for a more ergonomic and contemporary profile. With this small model, Cartier honors its design heritage while updating it with modern sensibilities. The subtly curved 18K yellow gold case flows elegantly along the wrist, blending art deco inspiration with Cartier’s unmatched sense of proportion.
This reference Ref. WGTA0299, features a case crafted from 18K yellow gold (750/1000), a hallmark of Cartier’s luxury watches. Measuring 35.4 mm x 19.4 mm and with a slim 6.8 mm profile, the case sits gently on the wrist, ideal for those who appreciate a light and graceful feel. The polished surfaces are perfectly complemented by Cartier’s classic faceted sapphire-set crown, a subtle but instantly recognizable detail that speaks to the Maison’s jeweler-watchmaker identity.
The silvered satin-brushed dial provides a radiant backdrop with a subtle sunray texture that plays with light. In keeping with Cartier tradition, blued-steel sword-shaped hands elegantly sweep across the dial, pointing to minimalist hour markers for a clean, sophisticated look. The restrained dial design is a celebration of timeless elegance, where nothing is excessive and every detail is purposeful.
Inside the Tank Américaine WGTA0299 is Cartier’s Caliber 057 quartz movement, selected for its high autonomy and dependable precision. Ideal for those seeking a worry-free luxury timepiece, the quartz movement ensures long battery life and consistent accuracy. With only hours and minutes on display, the focus remains on form, functionality, and refinement.
The front of the watch is protected by a square-shaped sapphire crystal, known for its exceptional scratch resistance and clarity. This ensures the dial remains pristine for years to come, even with regular wear. The case is also water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 bar), offering security in daily life, whether caught in light rain or accidental splashes.
Cartier complements the warm gold case with a shiny navy blue alligator leather strap, offering both visual contrast and textural richness. It’s fastened by an 18K yellow gold ardillon buckle, maintaining the harmony of precious materials throughout. The strap not only enhances the aesthetic but also ensures comfort and flexibility, perfect for all-day wear.
