Cartier Tank | Yellow Gold | Manual Winding | WGTA0108

A Design Icon Since 1917

The Cartier Tank was born from a revolutionary idea: Louis Cartier looked to the top-down silhouette of a Renault tank and transformed it into one of the most enduring forms in watchmaking. Its brilliance lies in the seamless harmony between case and strap, a rectilinear composition that feels as modern today as it did at its debut.
