Cartier Tank Must Solarbeat Large WSTA0059

This model carries forward the iconic aesthetic of the original 1922 Tank, with a rectangular stainless steel case (approximately 33.7 x 25.5 mm, and about 6.6 mm thick) that epitomizes clean Art Deco-inspired lines. The dial is silvered or opaline, featuring bold Roman numerals and blued‑steel sword-shaped hands, delivering classic Cartier hallmarks with understated refinement.Its crown is crowned with a synthetic blue spinel cabochon—a small but unmistakably Cartier signature. Completing the look is a sustainably made black leather (non-animal) strap with a matching steel tang buckle. The watch offers modest durability with 30 meters (3 ATM) water resistance—ideal for everyday wear.

History of Cartier 

Cartier, founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, began as a jewelry workshop that quickly gained recognition among French aristocracy. Under the leadership of Alfred Cartier, the company expanded into watchmaking, with a pivotal moment occurring in 1904 when Louis Cartier created the Santos Dumont, the world's first modern men's wristwatch, for aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont.

Throughout the 20th century, Cartier continued to innovate in watch design, introducing iconic timepieces like the Tank in 1918, inspired by the Renault FT-17 tank. The company's watches became known for blending functionality with artistic elements, incorporating Art Deco influences and precious materials. Today, as part of the Richemont Group, Cartier remains a leader in luxury watchmaking, continuing to produce exquisite timepieces that combine tradition with contemporary design, from the classic Tank to the modern Pasha.
