The Cartier Tank Française Ref. WJTA0049 reimagines elegance with rose gold, 23 diamonds with a red strap, and radiant modernity in a petite form.
The Cartier Tank Française Ref. WJTA0049 infuses one of Cartier’s most iconic designs with a bold stroke of feminine brilliance. Crafted in 18K rose gold (750/1000) and adorned with 23 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.78 carat, this small model redefines classic elegance with a jewelled twist. Its timeless rectangular form, introduced by Louis Cartier in 1917, now gleams with contemporary opulence, perfect for the woman who commands quiet sophistication.
Measuring 25.7 mm x 21.2 mm with a slim 6.8 mm profile, the case is polished to perfection and framed by rounded brancards that softly catch the light. The faceted rose gold crown, set with a diamond, echoes the radiant theme and adds a discreet touch of glamour. A sapphire crystal protects the dial while seamlessly integrating into the case, maintaining the watch’s sleek geometry.
The golden sunray dial offers a soft, metallic warmth that beautifully complements the rose gold case. Paired with blued-steel sword-shaped hands, it delivers excellent legibility and a striking contrast. The absence of hour markers allows the dial to shine uninterrupted, highlighting Cartier’s signature minimalist aesthetic.
At the heart of the timepiece is the Quartz Caliber 057, offering reliable precision with no winding required—ideal for those who value both beauty and convenience. It's two-hand movement keeps time with graceful simplicity, ensuring a seamless blend of form and function.
The watch is fitted with a shiny red alligator leather strap, adding a bold, refined accent to the timepiece. Paired with a rose gold ardillon buckle, it hugs the wrist with comfort and confidence. With water resistance up to 30 meters (3 bar), it’s crafted to move effortlessly from day to evening wear.
Since its debut over a century ago, the Tank watch has remained a symbol of Cartier’s commitment to precision and modern design. From General Pershing’s prototype to today’s diamond-set models, the Tank Française continues to honor its architectural roots while evolving with the times.
