With the case measuring 31.8mm by 28mm across plus the crown, this is such a sleek model that sits so well on the wrist of a man or a woman and has the guilloché dial. The guilloché dial is one where an intricate design is engraved onto the dial resulting in such an elegant feature that is often seen on only this highest of quality watches. This feature matches perfectly with the elegant Roman numerals which flare out in size which is another signature look of Cartier and also displays the date at the bottom. The case is further enhanced by being fitted on an alligator band with an 18 carat yellow gold Cartier buckle.

Inside is the 20 jewelled automatic Cartier calibre 120 that has been serviced and comes with our twelve month warranty.

An extremely elegant watch that can be dressed up or down, this Cartier Tank Francaise will no doubt always get the admiration that it rightly deserves.

A brief history on the Cartier Tank watch.

The Cartier Tank watch was created by Louis Cartier in 1917, and was actually inspired by the army tanks that were first used in World War One. First introduced in 1918, the Cartier Tank watch has been such an easily distinguishable model thanks to its clean straight lines, somewhat mimicking an army tank.

Variations of the Cartier Tank have been produced including the Tank Louis in 1922, the Tank Americaine in 1989, and the Tank Francaise in 1996.

Did you know the rectangle inside the numbers on the face is known as the “chemin de fer” (railroad in French).
