Cartier Tank Automatic Watches

Over the years, Cartier's Tank watches have become watchmaking icons that combine elegance and modernity. Inspired by the geometric lines of military tanks, this collection, launched in 1917, embodies the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication. While the Tank has been revisited in numerous variations, the automatic versions stand out for their sophisticated mechanisms, appealing to lovers of luxury watches seeking precision and autonomy. At Auberi, a reference in luxury watchmaking and jewelry, discover Cartier's watches, an invitation to timeless elegance.

A mythical story : the birth of the Tank watch

The Tank watch was born in 1917, imagined by Louis Cartier himself, who was inspired by the Renault tanks used during the First World War. Its sleek, rectangular design was a revolution in the watchmaking world, contrasting with the traditional round shapes of watches of the time. The first model was launched in 1919, and the Tank de Cartier has evolved ever since, retaining its unique visual identity. Today, this timeless design makes the Tank a coveted watch among luxury enthusiasts, a symbol of understated elegance and bold style.

The automatic movement : mechanical sophistication

The automatic versions of the Tank de Cartier watch incorporate sophisticated movements, enabling the watch to function without the need for manual winding. Equipped with a rotor that pivots with every movement of the wrist, the Tank automatic watch is ideal for those who appreciate high-precision watches and autonomy.

Technical features of Tank Automatiques

Cartier's Tank Automatiques models come in different versions, but share exceptional technical features :

• Movement : Tank Automatiques are equipped with self-winding mechanical movements, generally from Cartier calibers, such as the 1847 MC, an exclusive in-house movement renowned for its robustness and precision.
• Dimensions : The collection offers a variety of sizes, from 34 mm to 39 mm, adapted to the tastes and needs of both men and women.
• Materials : Cartier favors noble materials for the cases, such as steel, rose gold and yellow gold, sometimes embellished with diamonds for an even more luxurious effect.
• Water-resistance : Most Tank Automatiques models are water-resistant to 30 meters, offering sufficient protection for everyday use.
• Power reserve : Automatic models have an average power reserve of 42 hours, guaranteeing precise, reliable operation between uses.

The automatic movement gives the Tank a complex and practical watchmaking dimension, making it ideal for wearers looking for a timeless timepiece without having to think about daily winding.

The benefits of an automatic movement
