Must, a welcome twist on the legendary Tank
Description
Taking up the stylistic characteristics of its predecessor, the Tank Must presents a new bold look within a gold-plated silver case. This dial gives the perfect example of an always effective mix : yellow gold an black dial.
How to wear it
In addition, to always be a winning combo, the upside of black dial on gold watches is that they go with everything! Françoise would advise (for once!) to keep a black bracelet to emphasize once more this contrast that she loves !
Why did Françoise choose it ?
You will always find a Tank Must that matches your personality, this is why Françoise loves the Must! This model with its deep and sober black dial offers a fine and cheaper alternative to the gold Tank Louis Cartier.
History
The first Tank, known as Normale, designed in 1917, gave way, in 1922, to the Tank Louis Cartier, whose design remains unchanged. Through its Must line, Cartier intends to revisit the codes of luxury by offering more accessible pieces, like Van Cleef & Arpels and its Boutique . It was not until 1976 that the Tank Must was presented, as the first gold plated watch for La Maison, then available in a wide variety of dials. It's a beautiful and bold nod to its older sister : the more austere Tank Louis.

Serial numbers are removed from photographs to protect the authenticity of each piece.

Despite photos and descriptions that we hope are as accurate as possible, we know that the relationship with a piece of jewelry, a watch, is above all physical.
That's why we offer a 14-day return period, no questions asked, with a refund within 5 days of receiving the watch.
However, the watch must be in an aesthetic and mechanical condition similar to when it was sent.
