The Cartier Tank Française which came to prominence in 1996, was created as an alternative to the conventional Tank first introduced way back in 1917. It quickly gained notoriety due to its distinctive square dial, elongated case edges, and integrated metal band, which gave it an all-around elegant appearance. Even through all its various iterations over the years, the Tank is still one of the most recognizable and iconic watches in the entire world.
With a timeless sporty-chic chain link bracelet that is both masculine and feminine in its appeal, the Tank Française, as it is aptly named, sets itself apart from its predecessors. The new 2023 Tank Française is all about advancing this minimalist design philosophy.
Highlights Of The New CARTIER TANK FRANÇAISE Collection
The new Tank has sides that are more rounded to frame the dial and satin finishes on the yellow gold case and bracelet, the redesigned Cartier Tank Française stands out for its subtle differences. Additionally, compared to earlier iterations, the sapphire crown is now set deeper into the case for a more sleek appearance.
The bracelet has external links that are interlocked to create a small, flexible chain that moves as a single unit.
The roman numerals on the dial of each of the watches are spread out in the shape of Sun rays and it also has sword-shaped blue steel hands.
The Cartier Tank Française wristwatch is available in stainless steel and 18-karat gold versions. Some variations even have 0.78ctw brilliant-cut diamonds lining the dial’s edges. The smaller models are powered by quartz motors, while the larger models have an automatic mechanical movement. The timepieces in the Cartier Tank Française wristwatch collection are water-resistant to 3 bars or approximately 30 meters.
