A Timeless Icon of Elegance
The Tank Must de Cartier CRWSTA0137 embodies the eternal elegance and sophistication that define Cartier’s design philosophy. As part of the iconic Tank collection, this small model captures the pure essence of modern luxury through its harmonious proportions, sleek geometry, and understated refinement. Its design pays homage to the original Tank watch created by Louis Cartier in 1917, preserving the lineage of one of horology’s most revered timepieces while infusing it with twenty-first-century innovation.
Classic Design with Contemporary Spirit
Crafted in polished stainless steel, the watch presents a perfect blend of strength and grace. The rectangular case, with dimensions of 29.5 x 22 millimeters and a slim profile of 6.6 millimeters, lies elegantly on the wrist, reflecting Cartier’s mastery in balancing form and comfort. The minimalist architecture of the case enhances the watch’s timeless appeal, making it suitable for both daily wear and special occasions. This model continues the Tank’s legacy of embodying geometric precision and effortless sophistication.
Silvered Dial with Cartier Signature Details
The silvered, delicately grained dial offers a soft luminescence under different lighting conditions. Its simplicity is accentuated by blued-steel, sword-shaped hands, a signature Cartier detail that adds a subtle touch of color and distinction. The absence of numerals directs attention to the clarity of time reading, allowing the beauty of craftsmanship to speak for itself. Every glance at the dial is a reminder of Cartier’s artistic precision and timeless aesthetic.
Innovative SolarBeat™ Photovoltaic Movement
At the heart of this model lies the SolarBeat™ photovoltaic movement (Caliber 157S), a breakthrough in sustainable watchmaking. Instead of traditional batteries, the movement harnesses the power of light to ensure long-lasting performance while reducing the need for replacements. This innovative technology aligns with Cartier’s commitment to sustainability, combining mechanical elegance with ecological responsibility. With hours and minutes functions, the movement delivers precision and reliability in equal measure.
Elegant Beaded Crown with Cabochon Spinel
True to Cartier tradition, the Tank Must de Cartier CRWSTA0137 features a beaded crown set with a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel. This distinctive detail has become a hallmark of Cartier’s watchmaking, symbolizing the brand’s attention to even the smallest aesthetic nuances. The deep blue hue of the cabochon adds a graceful contrast to the steel case, enhancing the watch’s refined identity. It is this combination of artistry and precision that continues to set Cartier apart in the world of fine horology.
Comfort and Style with Calfskin Strap
The watch is fitted with a black calfskin leather strap, designed for maximum comfort and versatility. The soft, high-quality leather molds naturally to the wrist, ensuring a secure yet elegant fit. Its steel ardillon buckle fastens the watch with reliability while maintaining a classic look. Additionally, the strap is interchangeable, allowing the wearer to switch to a beige leather strap or other options depending on personal style or occasion, offering both practicality and personalization.
Durable Construction and Water Resistance
Despite its refined design, the Tank Must de Cartier remains robust in construction. The steel case offers lasting durability while maintaining a polished, elegant appearance. With a water resistance of up to 3 bar (approximately 30 meters or 100 feet), the watch provides protection from everyday splashes and moisture. Cartier’s dedication to excellence ensures that each timepiece is meticulously tested for precision, endurance, and quality, making it as reliable as it is beautiful.
Heritage of the Tank Collection
The Tank collection, launched in 1917, revolutionized watch design by introducing linear geometry inspired by military tank tracks. Over the decades, it has evolved into a symbol of timeless luxury and modern style. Variations such as the Tank Cintrée, Tank Chinoise, Tank Américaine, and Tank Française have reinterpreted the original design while maintaining its spirit. The Tank Must line, to which this model belongs, represents a refined, contemporary evolution of the collection—modern, eco-conscious, and unmistakably Cartier.
A Unisex Masterpiece for Modern Times
