What do General Pershing, Muhammed Ali, and Jackie Kennedy all have in common? Entrer Le Tank!

It is among the most iconic designs in horological history — the Cartier Tank, transcending the passing fancies of trend and remaining as elegant as it ever was. However, there are many iterations of the famed wristwatch from Cartier, including slightly different takes such as the Tank Francaise.

The Tank Francaise retains much of the elegant lines of Louis Cartier’s early-20th century design, with just a few minor changes and the option for a bracelet.

This particular example, dates to circa the 2010s and features a 25mm wide stainless steel case with a matching bracelet, a sapphire crystal, Cartier's signature sapphire cabochon crown, a beautiful white dial with printed 'Roman' indices and matching blued-steel 'sword' handset, and an quartz winding movement within.

The Tank is a long-established classic from the likes of a legendary brand. Why not spring for a more modern version with a twist?
