The Basculante is what happens when Cartier applies mechanical ingenuity to that perfect form. Introduced in the 1930s, its unique tilting mechanism allows the case to swing within an outer frame, protecting the crystal or transforming the watch into a small desk clock. It is a more complex and engineered solution than its contemporaries, executed with Cartier's signature elegance.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel Utility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis reference 2390 from 2001 renders the classic Basculante design in durable stainless steel, shifting its context from a formal dress piece to a versatile daily watch. The execution is clean and modern, retaining the classic white Roman numeral dial that defines the Tank aesthetic. The proportions are classic, but the clever engineering gives it a substantial and engaging presence on the wrist that sets it apart from any other Tank.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Clean Example With A Unique Mark\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is in very good condition. The case retains its sharp lines, and the white dial is clean. The underside of the tilting frame is engraved with \"Cartier\" and \"2001,\" suggesting it may have originally been a display piece from its year of production. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Than A Watch, An Object\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Basculante is for the person who appreciates clever design and tactile interaction. It has a party trick, but one grounded in real engineering. Winding the manual movement each morning creates a direct connection to the watch, a daily ritual that a quartz or automatic piece cannot offer. Flipping the case is satisfying and discreet. This is a watch for someone who understands that the best designs are often the ones you can interact with.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2390\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tank Basculante\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25x32mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather with Original Buckle\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Roman\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 936\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55162217005347,"sku":"10936","price":14500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF3984_4e9902b4-e7e3-4008-a9d5-7ae852cae011.jpg?v=1780009535","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/2001-cartier-tank-basculante-2390-stainless-steel-white-roman-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
