The Cartier Tank is one of the most long-lasting models of the production. Introduced in 1917, it has been presented in various editions and shapes but remained a classic among the classics, a timeless watch that defines what elegance is. And furthermore, it is certainly the most emblematic edition of the famous French manufacture. In 1918, Louis Cartier handed over the first copies a rectangular watch called “Tank” to the American General John Joseph Pershing and some of his officers – at least, that’s what the legend said. True or not, this fact aptly symbolizes the rich history of the Cartier Tank. The iconic model is reinterpreted here with a slightly curved case, modest and elegant in equal measures. The white Dial with black Roman Numeral Hour Markers are a testament to it’s timeless elegance. The 3 sub-dials are wvery well balanced with the top one indicating the date  while the lower registers recording time elapsed in minutes on the right and hours on the left.The brushed stainless steel  case is free of scratches and dings while  the Blue Sapphire Cabochon and square pushers are just as mont. The matching Stainless Steel Cartier Bracelet with Deploying Clasp show some very light surface scratches but nothing you wouldn’t expect from a pristine vintage watch. For a pre-owned watch it is remarkably clean and one could only imagine it spent it’s life inside a drawer.Details & Measurements Calibre: Quartz Serial: BB106637Diameter excluding crown: 28mm Strap: Cartier brushed stainless24hr Accuracy Reading: +/- 0 Seconds
