Tank Américaine Watch - Small Model

Tank Collection

For Cartier, it all starts with the design. An uncompromising feature. Clean and precise lines. The Tank watch is the epitome of this pursuit of purity. The intelligence of its design places it seamlessly within its time as well as securing its future. Its capacity to evolve is inexhaustible. Tank is also a family, featuring the Tank Américaine, the Tank Française and the Tank Louis Cartier. Three watchmaking icons that Cartier dares to evolve with the times.

Tank Américaine

Launched in 1989, the Tank Américaine drew its inspiration from the Tank Cintrée watch, from which it borrowed its curved case. At the same time, the Tank Américaine watch introduced the first adjustable strap partnered with the famous folding buckle, for which Cartier filed a patent in 1910.

In 2023, the Maison’s design studio is reinforcing the original design of the watch and its curved shape by carving a finer, more acrobatic line. The purity of its form is further reinforced by the style of the dial and the flawless integration of the brancards into the extension of the strap.

Equipped with the new 1899 MC movement for slimmer cases, the Tank Américaine watch comes in all-gold and steel with a leather strap, rose gold and diamonds with a leather strap or diamond- paved white and yellow gold with a metal bracelet. Designed especially for the Tank Américaine, its links feature polished facets that catch and radiate light.
