Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and patterned after an army tank, Cartier's iconic Tank watch symbolized speed and achievement. Cartier Tanks, already known as a true iconic watch, have seen an explosion in popularity in the last year.
Today's offering showcases this beautiful Certified Pre-Owned mens Cartier Tank watch. It has an iconic tank case, classic Roman dial, blued epee hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical Cartier movement.
Before cost-cutting measures brought about the widespread use of cheaper quartz movements for many wristwatches, Cartier contracted with watch manufacturers to produce mechanical movements designed to last a lifetime.
Using traditional watchmaking practices, these gifted craftsmen poured individual attention into each wristwatch. As a result, mens Cartier wristwatches with mechanical movements are often more sought after by collectors than their quartz counterparts.
Originally designed for men but by today's standard it could also be worn by a woman.
Our Cartier Tank, which has all of its original parts, is in truly gorgeous condition. It presents as a 9.7 out of 10. Its case presents as mint. The gold plating may have been redone. And its original dial is mint. On the wrist it presents like new.
A Master Watchmaker has just freshly overhauled the movement, which is keeping very accurate time.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new alligator grain leather strap with aftermarket Cartier style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
