Designed personally by Louis Cartier in 1917 and patterned after an army tank, Cartier's iconic Tank watch symbolized speed and achievement.

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. It has the newer bolder style dial design.

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 by today's standard it could also be worn by a woman.

It is fully Cartier down to the dial, hands and crown. It has just finished a true expertly done overhaul and presents in gorgeous condition. On the wrist it presents like new.

The case presents as just short of perfect mint. The back shows very slight remnants of wear. On the wrist the case presents as perfect mint.

The dial has been meticulously refinished. And the movement has just been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap 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, and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
