The Tank Française Line

Introduced in 1996, the Tank Française reinterpreted the classic Tank design with a more integrated and contemporary case and bracelet construction. The seamless transition between case and bracelet gives the watch a distinctive architectural presence on the wrist while maintaining the elegance that defines Cartier.

The chronograph version adds a practical sporting complication, making this one of the most versatile variations within the Tank Française family.

Case – Tank Française GM

The stainless steel case measures 28 x 36 mm, offering the desirable Grand Model (GM) proportions that provide a balanced and substantial wrist presence.

The watch features the recognizable Tank Française silhouette with its integrated bracelet design and clean geometric lines. The sapphire crystal remains spotless and protects the dial beautifully.

The crown is set with Cartier’s signature blue sapphire cabochon, complementing the elegant blue steel hands.

Dial – Chronograph Configuration

The dial maintains Cartier’s classic design language while integrating the chronograph complication.

A date display at 12 o’clock and chronograph registers add functionality without compromising the overall harmony of the dial. The blue steel hands provide a striking contrast and remain a hallmark of Cartier watch design.

Movement – Cartier Calibre 212P

Inside the watch beats the Cartier calibre 212P, a reliable chronograph movement known for its durability and precision.

The movement has undergone a full service by Cartier in 2026, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. Following this service, the watch is covered by a two-year international Cartier warranty.

Bracelet & Condition

The watch is fitted with its original Cartier stainless steel bracelet, accommodating a maximum wrist size of approximately 19 cm.
