Cartier Tank Must XL
The Cartier Tank is one of the most iconic models in the history of watchmaking. It was originally released in 1917, created by Louis Cartier to pay homage to the Renault FT-17 tank used in the First World War.
The design has remained true to the original watch, its classic style never having gone out of fashion.
This XL version is presented in an oversized rectangular case, measuring 41mm x 31mm, yet with a thickness of just 8.4mm still slips under a cuff. Its recognisable sleek edges are highly polished, framing the silver dial with Cartier’s infamous Roman numerals – the VII featuring a discreet “Cartier”. The centre of the dial has a striking guilloche finish which, along with blued-steel hands, playfully catch the light. A blue spinel crown is the only other splash of colour on the otherwise monochrome aesthetic.
The watch is powered by the 1847 MC movement, an automatic calibre manufactured by Cartier.
Fitted is an elegant yet sporty polished steel bracelet, featuring a hidden folding clasp and Cartier's “QuickSwitch” system, however the watch would also look fantastic on any number of straps.
