Details
The Original Rectangular Watch
The Cartier Tank is not just a watch, it is the foundation of modern dress watch design. Created by Louis Cartier in 1917, its clean lines and integrated lugs brought a sense of order to the wrist that was revolutionary for its time. This example from the 1980s carries that same essential DNA, offering the definitive Cartier look in the classic vermeil execution of gold over silver. It is a direct link to one of the most important designs of the twentieth century.
A Classic And Approachable Configuration
This Tank stands out with its warm champagne dial and classic Roman numerals. The quartz movement makes it an exceptionally practical choice for a dress watch, ensuring it is always ready to wear without the need for daily winding or setting. Its traditional proportions value discretion and elegance, making for the quintessential Tank experience built around ease of use.
Honest Condition From Its Era
The watch is in good overall condition. The vermeil case shows an even fading which has given the plating a dark character, but it is not rubbed through. The champagne dial is clean and well-preserved, and may be a later service replacement. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Perfect Starting Point
This is the right watch for anyone looking to own a true design icon. The vermeil case and quartz movement make it an accessible entry point into the world of Cartier without sacrificing any of the aesthetic presence that made the Tank famous. It is a simple, elegant, and historically significant piece that works effortlessly in any formal or business setting.
