Cartier Tank

For over 100 years, the Cartier Tank has stood for style-defining watch design. Inspired by the clean lines of early armored vehicles, it combines rectangular geometry with elegant restraint. The balanced dial, sleek silhouette, and signature Roman numerals make it one of the most recognizable watches in the world—worn by celebrities from the arts, culture, and politics.

Whether classic with a leather strap or modern with a metal bracelet – the Cartier Tank remains true to its form and yet adapts to any time.

Timeless for over 100 years

The Cartier Tank was designed by Louis Cartier in 1917 – inspired by the clean, functional form of French armored vehicles during World War I. Its lines, characterized by symmetry and linearity, were revolutionary for its time and continue to define the image of the modern dress watch. For decades, it was worn by design icons, artists, and celebrities such as Andy Warhol, Jackie Kennedy, and Princess Diana – a symbol of understatement and style.

Model variants & references at a glance

The Cartier Tank is available in several lines, each with its own distinctive character. The Tank Louis Cartier represents classic elegance with rounded lugs and premium materials. The Tank Must offers a contemporary take on the original design—often featuring a quartz movement and a clean design. The Tank Française, with its integrated link bracelet, adds a modern touch to the line, while the Tank Américaine, with its elongated case, offers a striking silhouette.

Available in various sizes – from small to large – and in stainless steel, yellow gold, rose gold, or two-tone, the Cartier Tank can be customized. In addition to quartz movements, manual-winding and automatic models are available.

What makes the Cartier Tank so special?

The Tank consciously eschews trends and has remained true to itself for over a century. Its rectangular case, Roman numerals, and discreet rail-like minute track form a harmonious whole. The Cartier Tank is not just a watch, but a cultural statement – ​​understated, sophisticated, and timelessly relevant.
