About this watch

Band: Steel Clasp: Steel (Butterfly) Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 3 Bar (Splash Proof) Cartier has been making jewellery since 1847 in Paris. It would take another seven decades before Louis Cartier designed the original Tank watch, an iconic silhouette that paved the way for the modern Tank Française variant in 1996. This example, a ref. W4TA0009 from 2021, is factory-set with 0.62 carats of white diamonds. Cartier strictly uses diamonds with a colour between D and H, and a clarity of at worst VS2, meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye. The case, made from stainless steel, measures 30 mm by 25 mm and is just 6.65 mm thick. The watch is pressure-resistant to 3 bar (30 m) and should be considered splashproof. The matte silver dial is classic Cartier, featuring Roman numerals with a hidden signature, heat-blued, sword-shaped steel hands, and a chemin de fer minute track (resembling railway tracks). Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, free of an anti-reflective coating. Set behind the closed caseback is a Swiss-made quartz calibre offering accuracy better than almost any mechanical watch, alongside easy maintenance. The watch is set on a steel bracelet that secures to the wrist with an elegant folding butterfly-style clasp. This Cartier Tank has just come back from a Cartier service and is covered by our two-year VWC warranty. Box, service papers, and warranty card.
