Cartier Tank Française

Tank Française - legendary heritage Tank collection lineage dating back to 1917 Golden sunray dial with Roman numeral markers Presented in a 26mm yellow gold case with faceted crown Secured with a matching yellow gold bracelet LEGENDARY STATUS The first Tank watch was expertly crafted by Cartier in 1917 as a gift to General Pershing of the American army during World War 1. Since then, the Tank collection has gone on to become a legendary symbol of timekeeping mastery - with bold, distinctive shapes, luxurious materials and unparalleled style. The Tank Française member of the Tank collection was launched in 1996, debuting a metal bracelet that works in perfect harmony with the case. This new, monobloc metal design, energises the ultra-profiled lines of the watch in both its aesthetic and ergonomic approach. A GOLDEN SYMBOL OF LUXURY Displayed on a robust yet elegant yellow gold bracelet, the 26mm yellow gold case features a faceted crown decorated with a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel for a sophisticated yet hardened look. The stunning golden sunray dial displays Roman numeral hour markers, with blued-steel sword-shaped hands for a bold finish. The model is powered by a high performance quartz movement for impeccable reliability and is water resistant to 3 bar (30 metres).
