This program allowed Cartier to experiment with materials and dial configurations while maintaining the flawless proportions of the original 1917 design. This example features a rare brown lacquered dial with a tortoiseshell pattern, a more artistic and expressive take on the usually formal Tank.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Unique Tortoiseshell Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat sets this piece apart is the unique dial execution. The lacquered surface has developed a fine, spidered patina that enhances the rich brown tortoise-look pattern, giving it a depth that a standard printed dial lacks. This is the larger Must Tank case, which provides more presence on the wrist than the smaller models from the same era. It offers a more substantial take on the classic Tank form.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Honest And Unpolished Case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe watch is in good condition. The vermeil case, a layer of gold over sterling silver, appears to be unpolished, retaining its original lines. The unique tortoiseshell-patterned dial is the main attraction, showing its signature spidered lacquer finish. It is fitted to a simple leather strap that complements the warm tones of the case and dial. 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\u003eA More Distinct Personality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is for someone who appreciates the history of the Cartier Tank but wants an example with a more distinct personality.
