Tank Normale Skeleton Yellow Gold Interchangeable Leather Strap
A RETURN TO THE ORIGINS OF ICONIC DESIGN
The Tank watch was created by Louis Cartier, who designed it after the tanks of WWI battlefields. Defined by flat vertical brancards and a sapphire cabochon, this symbol of understated elegance has since captivated the world's most astute minds.
The Cartier Tank Normale, introduced in 1919, is the watch that started it all—a bold, avant-garde creation that redefined wristwatch aesthetics with its rectangular case and geometric proportions. Faithful to its original design, the Tank Normale retains Cartier’s signature details: Roman numerals, a railway minute track, and blued steel sword-shaped hands.
Available in precious materials such as yellow gold or platinum, the collection also includes stunning skeletonized models that reveal the intricate beauty of their manual-winding mechanical movements. These skeleton versions are a celebration of Cartier’s technical expertise and artistic flair, with openworked bridges forming Roman numeral motifs—a visual masterpiece.
Whether powered by a manual-winding movement or a high-precision quartz calibre, the Tank Normale balances tradition with innovation. Water-resistant to 30 meters, it combines timeless elegance with everyday practicality.
