ABOUT THIS WATCH

• Introduced in 1917, the design of the Cartier Tank’s unique curved square case was inspired by the Renault tanks used by the French Army during World War I
• The Tank Française, launched in 1996, marked an upsurge in popularity for this historic brand, becoming the most popular version of the Tank ever, in terms of sales
• It incorporates its feature-rich movement into a slender, art deco-inspired case measuring just 28mm in diameter
• While most bought the stainless steel bracelet model, this watch was for the more discerning collector, having opted for the 18k yellow gold variant on a leather strap
• It features a silver dial with painted roman numerals with three sub-dials; one for the seconds and the other two for the date and chronograph functions
• This watch is powered by a quartz movement
