Iconic Elegance in a Refined Silhouette
The Cartier Tank Américaine Ref. CRWGTA0356 stands as a tribute to timeless watchmaking, presented in a small model case that elegantly hugs the wrist. Inspired by the original Tank design introduced by Louis Cartier in 1917, this variation continues the tradition of classic geometry and understated luxury. Its slim, elongated form captures the spirit of the Art Deco era while staying effortlessly modern.
Luxurious Yellow Gold Case
Crafted in 18K yellow gold (750/1000), the case measures 35.4 mm x 19.4 mm with a slim thickness of 6.8 mm, offering a discreet and refined profile. The faceted crown is adorned with a faceted sapphire, a signature Cartier detail that enhances its regal charm. With its soft curves and polished surfaces, the case exemplifies Cartier's mastery in both design and craftsmanship.
Silvered Satin-Brushed Dial
The dial features a silvered satin-brushed finish with a subtle sunray effect, providing a soft radiance under light. Its minimalist layout ensures legibility while maintaining elegance. Blued-steel sword-shaped hands gracefully glide over the dial, adding a traditional touch to the contemporary form. Every element is finely balanced, staying true to Cartier’s iconic aesthetic.
Durable Sapphire Crystal
The watch is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, offering clear visibility of the dial while ensuring long-term durability. The rectangular crystal complements the case design, creating a seamless viewing experience that highlights the elegance within.
High Autonomy Quartz Movement
Inside, the watch is powered by Cartier’s high-autonomy quartz movement (Caliber 057). Known for precision and longevity, this movement ensures reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The simplicity of quartz also allows for the watch’s slim profile, making it perfect for those who value both function and form.
Alligator Leather Strap for Classic Appeal
The shiny navy blue alligator leather strap adds texture and sophistication to the piece. It is paired with a matching 18K yellow gold ardillon buckle, echoing the case material and offering secure, comfortable wear. The strap perfectly complements the case, completing the overall harmony of the design.
Unisex Appeal with a Timeless Design
Though petite in size, the Tank Américaine small model is designed to be unisex, appealing to anyone who appreciates discreet luxury and heritage watchmaking. Its refined proportions and elegant construction make it an ideal companion for formal occasions and everyday sophistication alike.
Water-Resistant Versatility
The watch offers water resistance up to 3 bar (30 meters/100 feet), adding practicality to its elegant form. While not intended for water sports, this level of resistance protects against splashes, rain, or brief immersion, making it suitable for daily wear.
Part of the Legendary Tank Collection
As part of the Tank Collection, the Américaine line continues a legacy of bold yet refined timepieces. With its curved case and vertical brancards, the Tank Américaine differentiates itself through a slightly more elongated form, originally introduced in the 1980s and now reimagined in various sizes and styles.
