The tank was introduced in 1918, and entered full production in 1919, when a total of six pieces were built. Its lines and proportions are similar to those of tanks found on First World War battlefields; it is both a square and a rectangle, and its strap is seamlessly integrated into vertical sidebars called "brancards". Since its inception in 1917, countless variations of the watch have been released by Cartier, including the Tank Louis in 1922, the Tank Americaine in 1989, and the Tank Francaise in 1996. The defining features of a tank watch include its bold Roman numeral dial with a chemin de fer chapter ring, sword-shaped blued steel hands, and a sapphire cabochon surmounted crown.
The Tank has become one of the most highly coveted and copied wristwatches of all time, and has graced the wrists of such style icons such as Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, and Yves Saint Laurent, amongst countless others.
Thinking about buying a Cartier Tank? There are a few things to keep in mind before making such a purchase. This watch has so many options that it can be easy to make a mistake. We'll tell you what you need to know before investing in the world's best known dress watch.

Breaking Down An Icon: The Cartier Tank | MR PORTER
Icons of watchmaking don’t come much bigger than the Cartier Tank. More than a century old and still fervently popular, it has one of the most distinctive yet versatile designs of any wristwatch. In this film, we explore just what makes a Tank so desired, from its signature “brancards” to its ability to stretch and grow yet remain undeniably a Tank. With a celebrity following more star-studded than any other watch, the Tank was one of the first watches to achieve true unisex appeal, and is as much of a cultural icon as a horological one. Featuring the classic Tank LC, a vintage Tank Américaine Chronoreflex (one of the rarest and most complicated Tank references ever created) and the brand new Tank Must, launched in 2021, our film shows the breadth and depth of this deceptively simple watch...

00:00 Cartier Tank Introduction
To many around the world, Cartier is a brand synonymous with fine jewelry including statement pieces, engagement rings, and even feline-inspired adornments. Cartier is also home to some iconic wristwatches.
00:49 Cartier's Early History
Cartier can trace its root back to 1847 when watchmaker Louis-Francois Cartier purchased the small Parisian watch and jewelry store at which he had been an apprentice.
Cartier’s first men’s wristwatch was actually born five years prior, In 1904, after Brazilian aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to his friend Louis Cartier about the impracticality of pocket watches when flying.
04:33 Cartier's Breakup & Reunification
06:30 Cartier Tank Today
There are several sub-collections that all bear the tank name. At the time of filming, those available are: → Must
→ Americaine
→ Asymetrique
→ Chinoise
→ Francaise
→ Louis
→ And MC (Manufacture Cartier)
All of these sub-collections have variations in styling and function. So whether you like the unique styling of the Asymetrique or the modern lines of the Americaine, there's bound to be a Tank for everyone’s tastes.
07:20 Tank Must
A design that’s very faithful to the original. It’s finished in a stainless steel case with a silvered dial
and features a set of blued sword-shaped hour and minute hands with no seconds hand. The crown showcases a beaded design, into which is set a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel. It comes on a black-grained calfskin strap that has a steel buckle in the iconic Cartier design although, you can also purchase a Must with a steel bracelet, too.
08:45 Tank Louis
You’ll see more variety within the range. The sizes are fairly similar to the Must collection, with three different sizes to choose from. One of the big differences is that practically all of the Louis collection features a hand-wound mechanical movement. All except the small and large entry models, which feature quartz movements.
11:18 Is It Worth It?
Buying the Cartier Louis new is not worth it in our estimation. With the vintage and second-hand market being an absolute treasure trove of Cartier Tanks, we’d much rather spend some time searching around for a vintage Louis at a better price.
For the timeless styling, ability to wear it with almost anything, and overall affordability, I can happily say that the Must Tank is worth it!

Since its inception in 1917, countless variations of the watch have been released by Cartier, including the Tank Louis in 1922, the Tank Americaine in 1989, and the Tank Francaise in 1996. The defining features of a tank watch include its bold Roman numeral dial with a chemin de fer chapter ring, sword-shaped blued steel hands, and a sapphire cabochon surmounted crown.
The Tank has become one of the most highly coveted and copied wristwatches of all time, and has graced the wrists of such style icons such as Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, and Yves Saint Laurent, amongst countless others.
