The Cartier Tank has achieved iconic status in the world of watch design and, with the exception of a few distinctive variations, has maintained a consistent aesthetic throughout its extensive production history. The first commercially available Tank Normale was introduced in 1919, having been inspired by the treads of the French Renault FT-17 tank used in WW1. Throughout the decades, Tank watches have been documented on the wrists of notable figures from Jackie Kennedy to Andy Warhol. Today, Cartier feels more relevant in the worlds of fashion, music and popular culture than ever before.

The Must De Cartier line was brought to market in the 1970s as a more accessible price point. This was done with the use of electroplating cases vs using solid gold as well as by leveraging quartz movements for the most part, however, some pieces were also produced with mechanical movements. This particular quartz piece features a rare dial variant with beautiful grey/white motif and Roman numerals. We paired it with a perfectly matching leather strap with Cartier buckle and believe it makes for the perfect conversations piece for dress, casual or anything in between.

Dial: Mint.
Hands: Mint and matching.
Case: There is a small chip on the back edge of the plating overall is excellent with beautiful patina and light signs of use. Correct crown.
Bracelet: Two piece and supple pebbled leather strap in grey with plated Cartier buckle.

Accessories: Genuine Cartier service pouch for storage and travel.

The movement is running nicely on our timegrapher.
