Cartier Tank Must de Vermeil GM Lemon Roman Dial Ref. 6 81006
A timeless expression of Cartier's iconic Tank design, this Tank Must de Vermeil GM from the 1980s features the classic Lemon Roman dial—the most recognizable and enduring dial variation of the Must de Cartier collection.
The GM (Grand Modèle / Large Model) case measures 23 × 30 mm and is crafted in vermeil (925 sterling silver with gold plating). Signature blued steel hands, a blue sapphire cabochon crown, and a spotless mineral crystal complete the unmistakable Cartier aesthetic.
Inside beats the reliable Cartier Calibre 690 quartz movement. Originally fitted with a Calibre 90, the watch received a complete Cartier service in 2013, during which the movement was upgraded to the improved Calibre 690, ensuring reliable and precise performance.
Finished with a handmade black leather strap crafted in Belgium and paired with a classic gold-plated pin buckle, this Tank offers timeless elegance and everyday wearability.
