This Must de Cartier Tank is a great entry point into the world of vintage Cartier and notably its the mechanical wind movement which collectors look for. These watches retain the Cartier Tank signatures, like the classic Roman numeral dial, cabochon sapphire crown, and blued steel hands. They are sized suitably for both men and women, and can be worn everyday. Icons such as Kanye West, Steve McQueen and even the larger heavy-hitters like Jason Momoa and Muhammad Ali have worn them over the decades. It’s not just for small people!

First launched in 1976 as part of a new push of pens, wallets and other accessories that were felt would bring in new customers, the Must De Cartier Tank was their first wrist watch in a non-precious metal - silver with gold plating or “vermeil”. It cost just $500 at the time and was just Cartier DNA through and through.

This example has become one of the most sought after dial variations that emerged from the 1980s run of Tanks. It also sports a mechanical movement, less common to see among Tank collectors.
