The Red-Dial Rarity From Cartier
Few watches encapsulate timeless design like the Cartier Tank. Introduced in 1917 and inspired by the silhouette of First World War Renault tanks, the Tank has graced the wrists of style icons and world leaders for over a century. The Tank Must line, launched in the 1970s, made this iconic design more accessible without sacrificing its elegance or prestige.
This rare SV925 model from the 1980s features the highly coveted red lacquer dial—a bold, rich tone that gives the classic Tank silhouette an expressive, almost avant-garde personality. Paired with a manual wind mechanical movement, this piece is a nod to Cartier’s heritage and traditional watchmaking, standing apart from the more commonly found quartz variants.
Why You’ll Love It
• Serviced by Cartier – This watch benefits from a full Cartier service and is in unworn condition since, with accompanying Cartier service paperwork included.
• Rare Mechanical Movement – Most Must de Cartier models from this era were quartz; this manual wind version is significantly rarer and more collectible.
• Deep Red Dial – The rare red lacquer dial is near flawless and brings warmth and boldness to the classic Tank design.
• Gold-Plated Silver Case (SV925) – Crafted from sterling silver with gold plating, the case has been re plated by Cartier.
• Original Cartier Box – A thoughtful addition that enhances its value as a vintage collector’s piece.
• Elegant Dimensions – The large model (LM) offers refined proportions suitable for modern tastes while preserving the iconic rectangular aesthetic.
Iconic Status
The Cartier Tank has long been associated with elegance, intellect, and understated luxury. Its wearers include some of the most influential figures in fashion, film, and politics:
• Andy Warhol – Famously wore a Cartier Tank and once said he didn’t even wind it, he just wore it as a fashion statement.
• Rami Malek – Spotted wearing a red-dial Tank Must, giving a modern edge to a vintage icon.
• Princess Diana – Frequently wore her gold Cartier Tank, showing its versatility from royal to everyday style.
• Yves Saint Laurent – Another design icon known for his love of the Tank.
This red-dial, manual-wind Must model offers not just elegance, but a daring sense of personality—Cartier at its most expressive.
