Cartier Tank Must Extra-Large Automatic — Ref. WSTA0053
Video footage available upon request. Open to offers. Bracelet sizing service available.
The Tank is the watch that defined what a rectangular wristwatch could be — and more than a century later, it still sets the standard. Louis Cartier designed the original in 1917, reportedly inspired by the overhead profile of a Renault FT-17 tank, and the proportions he landed on have barely changed since. The Tank Must Extra-Large brings that design into a modern automatic package with the in-house Caliber 1847 MC, giving it a mechanical heartbeat that the quartz Tank Must models don't offer. At 41mm x 31mm and just 8.40mm thick, the XL size is Cartier's men's proportion for the Tank Must — large enough to read as a serious watch on the wrist, thin enough to slide under any cuff without resistance. The silvered flinqué dial has a textured finish that catches light differently than a flat sunburst, and the blued-steel sword-shaped hands are a Cartier signature that no one else has managed to replicate convincingly. The blue cabochon crown is another unmistakable detail — functional and decorative at the same time. The stainless steel bracelet with invisible folding clasp maintains the clean, uninterrupted lines that make the Tank what it is. This is one of those watches where the design does all the talking — no complications, no bezel inserts, no dive ratings. Just a shape that's been copied a thousand times and never matched.
