An icon of a certain lifestyle, somewhere between classic and casual, the design of the Cartier Tank Américaine has evolved. A subtle transformation for a watch with curves and an identity of its own.
Heir to the Tank Cintrée dating back to 1921, the Tank Américaine watch belongs to the extended family of Tank design. It has the same aesthetic codes, the same purity of line and the same accuracy of proportions that have allowed it to stand the test of time.
Launched in 1988, it unveiled a curved rectangular case, a more compact shape and more rounded brancards, which Cartier has now revolutionised with this brand-new version.
A new approach, both aesthetic and ergonomic, which revitalises the ultra-profiled lines of the watch. The purity of its form is further reinforced by the style of the dial and the flawless integration of the brancards into the extension of the strap.
An expression of effortless chic, with a dial that moulds to the curve of the wrist, the Tank Américaine is linked to American culture, embodying its values of freedom and style. Like all Tanks, it is timeless. It has been worn by many in Hollywood and will be appreciated by generations of aesthetes to come.
Equipped with the new Manufacture 1899 MC, a self-winding mechanical movement for slimmer cases, the Tank Américaine watch comes in all-gold and in steel with a leather strap or metal bracelet, rose gold and diamonds with a leather strap or diamond-paved white and rose gold with a metal bracelet. No matter the version, the watch celebrates the casual chic spirit of a continent on American time.
