New Cartier Tank Française Watch: A Reimagined Icon

New Tank Française Watch

Get ready to be blown away by Cartier’s latest release. The Tank Française watch line has been given a fresh and modern update, featuring seven stunning variations that are sure to catch your eye. With small and medium sizes available in gold, and small, medium, and large cases in steel, some even adorned with sparkling diamonds, these watches are a must-have for anyone who wants to make a statement.

Case Updates

But that’s not all – the new models may look similar to the original Française from afar, but upon closer inspection, you’ll see that there have been several updates made to give them a sleeker, sportier, and more contemporary appeal.

The case sizes have been slightly increased, and the surface has been given a more brushed satin finish, making it stand out even more. The crown has been integrated into the case, resulting in a more streamlined look.

Dial Styling

And let’s talk about the dial – the Cartier Tank Française gold models boast a champagne dial, while the steel models feature silver dials. The numerals have been applied to the dial, creating a more sophisticated and refined look. You’ll notice the difference in styling compared to previous models (WSTA0005, W4TA0008, W51008Q3, CC708177), some of which remain available at Zadok Jewelers for a limited time.

Movement

But it’s not just about the aesthetics – the new collection also features an automatic movement in the large steel case with a date window at three o’clock, while the small and medium sizes use a quartz movement. With the placement of the automatic movement only in the large steel model, we can’t help but wonder what exciting developments the future holds.
