Cartier | Must De Tank

Cartier | Must De Tank

Sold Out

Cartier, founded in Paris in 1847, is renowned for its blend of fine jewelry and watchmaking, and the Tank model stands as one of the most iconic designs in horological history. Introduced in 1917 and inspired by the silhouette of WWI Renault tanks, the Tank became a symbol of understated elegance and modernity. In 1977, Cartier launched the Must de Cartier line as a more accessible take on its classic Tank, featuring vermeil (gold-plated sterling silver) cases and a wide array of colorful, minimalist dials. The Must de Tank watches of the 1980s, like this reference, captured the spirit of the era with bold dial colors and the timeless rectangular case, making them highly collectible today.

Notes

This Cartier features a 20mm x 28mm vermeil case that sits in overall good condition. It features light visible scratches to its surface. Due to the vermeil case, some of the gold plating has started to wear through on the fronts of each lug. Its yellowed/lemon dial is clean and sports crisp and legible brand notations. Its crystal sports noticeable nicks and dings, most notably to its bottom left and top right corners. This piece is powered by a manual-wind movement and is fitted with a Cartier branded brown leather strap and Cartier branded buckle. Overall, this Cartier Must De sits in good vintage condition, showing wear consistent with its age.
