Originally designed by Louis Cartier in 1917, the Tank watch has become synonymous with modern watchmaking and bold design. This large model captures the essence of the original while infusing it with contemporary sophistication and practicality.
Distinguished Design and Shape
With its rectangular steel case measuring 33.7 mm by 25.5 mm and a slender 6.6 mm thickness, the Tank Must presents a sleek profile that comfortably hugs the wrist. The square-shaped glass protects the dial, emphasizing the watch’s geometric purity and elegant simplicity. Its unmistakable shape combines classic charm with a modern flair.
High Autonomy Quartz Movement
Powered by a high autonomy quartz movement (Caliber 157), this watch guarantees precise timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The quartz mechanism ensures long-lasting reliability and convenience, perfect for those who seek accuracy alongside effortless wearability in a unisex timepiece.
Silvered Dial with Blued-Steel Hands
The watch features a silvered dial that exudes understated luxury. Contrasting beautifully with the dial are blued-steel sword-shaped hands, a Cartier hallmark, that offer excellent legibility and a refined aesthetic. This combination creates a perfect balance of function and style, elevating the watch’s classic appeal.
Signature Beaded Crown with Synthetic Spinel
The steel case is complemented by a beaded crown set with a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel, a subtle yet luxurious detail that nods to Cartier’s traditional craftsmanship. This signature element adds a distinctive sparkle and completes the watch’s elegant profile.
Comfortable Black Grained Calfskin Strap
Equipped with a black grained calfskin leather strap, the watch offers both comfort and style. The strap’s natural texture complements the steel case and dial, creating a sophisticated contrast. Additionally, the strap is interchangeable, allowing for versatility in styling.
Secure Steel Ardillon Buckle
The watch fastens with a steel ardillon buckle, ensuring a secure fit while maintaining the overall aesthetic of refined simplicity. This buckle design echoes the watch’s classic heritage and modern usability.
Durable and Practical Water Resistance

A Legacy of Innovation and Elegance
