More on Cartier Tank Watches
The Cartier Tank is a beloved dress watch that has stood the test of time. Since its initial launch in 1917, its instantly rectangular shaped case crafted from a range of materials and large, crisp black Roman numerals have become hallmarks of this iconic range of timepieces. Thanks to its unique profile, inspired by the shape of the Renault FT-17 - a French tank used during this time of unrest the Cartier Tank watch has always resumed a very elegant look on the wrist, making this range of luxury dress watches for men and women a versatile and timeless collection to choose from.
The collection divides into several sub-categories - each one defined by its own set of characteristics that differ from the original Tank Louis Cartier watch. Some of these sub-families include the Tank Française and Tank Must. Others, not currently available include the Tank MC, and Solo watches. One popular model, in particular, is the Tank Française, originally released back in 1995 and with a new collection for 2023. Recognised for its sportier undertones, the Tank Française harnesses some contemporary elements fused with some of the collection’s more recognisable signature features, such as the sapphire-tipped crown, blued steel hands and enlarged Roman numeral hour tracks executed in a crisp black hue. The key difference that underscores the modern Tank Française sub-collection, however, lies in the design of its brancards, which exude a pointier and more angular style. The bracelet that came fitted to the Tank Francaise watch was also said to have been inspired by the tyre treads of the Renault FT-17.
More luxurious iterations are adorned in scintillating diamonds carefully set into the vertical sides of the watch’s distinct rectangular case shape. Another popular interpretation is the Tank Must, an embodiment of purity and refinement. These opulent Cartier watches for men and women are a fusion of two concepts. One - the essential and clean lines, two, the Must name, immortalized by Cartier during the 1970s. The rounded brancards of the Tank Must watch donate a contemporary style, whilst new dial proportions keep essential timekeeping simple and legible.
Tank Must watches at Berry’s Jewellers are showcased on various straps from classic black leather bands with ardillon buckles to elegant stainless steel bracelets. Included within the Must collection is one of Cartier’s most advanced technological developments so far, a watch with a solar-powered movement. The Tank Must SolarBeat watch is powered by the photovoltaic SolarBeat movement, marking the release of Carter’s first-ever solar-powered watch. Whilst the Tank watch will always be instantly associated with luxury materials and exclusivity, the SolarBeat watch demonstrates one of the collection’s most practical watch models so far.
