Cartier Tank Must: A Bold Take on an Iconic Design
A Watch That Stands the Test of Time Some watches come and go, but the Cartier Tank has remained a symbol of sophistication for over a century. Designed in 1917 by Louis Cartier, inspired by the clean, geometric lines of military tanks, this legendary timepiece has been worn by Hollywood icons, royalty, and tastemakers alike.
Now, Cartier gives the Tank a fresh new look with the Tank Must collection, featuring lacquered dials in striking colors. The Burgundy (WSTA0054), Green (WSTA0056), and Black (WSTA0072) editions offer a modern, minimalist take on this timeless classic.

Each of these watches retains Cartier’s signature Tank design, but with a bold, color-driven aesthetic that makes an unmistakable statement.
