Cartier Tank – Steel White Roman Numeral Dial Blue Sword Hands Sapphire Crown Black Leather Strap
Tank. Stainless Steel. White Roman Numeral Dial. Blue Sword Hands. Sapphire Crown. Black Leather Strap. Cartier.
The Cartier Tank in Stainless Steel with White Roman Numeral Dial and Black Leather Strap is the most elegant, historically significant, and enduringly desirable expression of the most iconic watch design in history — the Tank on a classic black leather strap, the configuration that has graced the wrists of the world’s most stylish and powerful figures for over a century. The Tank is Cartier’s masterpiece and one of the defining design objects of the 20th century — its rectangular form inspired by the overhead view of a Renault FT tank in 1917, its architectural purity so complete that it has required almost no modification in over a century of continuous production. Worn by Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, Andy Warhol, Muhammad Ali, and every icon of style and culture since its introduction, the Tank on a black leather strap is the single most elegant watch configuration available in contemporary luxury. The case is in polished stainless steel, with the Tank’s defining brancards — the parallel vertical side rails that run the full height of the case, referencing the tracks of the tank, giving the case its unmistakable architectural profile. The dial is in white or silvered white with black Roman numeral hour markers — I through XII in the classical form — and the fine chemin de fer minute track inner border. The hands are in blued steel sword form — Cartier’s most celebrated hand treatment, the deep blue achieved through traditional heat-bluing of steel, one of the House’s most recognisable signatures. The cabochon sapphire-set crown at 12 o’clock provides the Tank’s defining finishing touch in deep blue. The watch is worn on a black pebbled/grained leather strap with a steel pin buckle — the classic Tank strap configuration, the pebbled grain of the black leather complementing the polished steel case with the kind of understated, authoritative elegance that defines Cartier at its finest.
