The "Cartier Must Tank" that arrived today is a precious design that features a black dial, which is rare for Cartier.
The glossy black dial and gold-colored case and indexes create a luxurious atmosphere.
Surprisingly, Cartier watches with black dials are few and far between,
especially in the Tank series, where there are only a handful.
Among them, the Must Tank is representative,
with early models being hand-wound with Cartier's signature railway design.
Later, an onyx dial without indexes was added,
and with the introduction of quartz models, the dial design was revamped.
For quartz models, an onyx dial and a black and gray two-tone color were temporarily available,
followed by the birth of this design.
With black as the main color and gold indexes,
it became a design that evokes a more luxurious atmosphere.
The black dial tends to give a strong masculine impression,
so this design is often chosen primarily by men. However, due to the scarcity of black dials in Cartier and its sophisticated design,
it is also very popular among women.
Personally, the Must Tank has a very appealing design,
with a unique combination of four Roman numeral indexes and diamond-shaped indexes.
The simplicity of the watch's two-color scheme is also attractive.
Somehow, rather than for everyday use, I feel this watch is something I'd want to wear when going out at night.
That's the impression I get from this watch.
Must Tanks produced until around the 1990s are prone to deterioration of the dial paint,
and most black dials have cracked surfaces.
For this sale, we had a complete service performed by Cartier,
during which the dial, hands, and crystal were replaced with new ones.
Furthermore, we re-plated the case at our store, resulting in an individual unit in excellent condition.
While damage can be part of the charm of vintage watches,
I wanted to finish watches with such a luxurious atmosphere beautifully.
With that in mind, we performed thorough maintenance.
The流通 volume of this particular item is not high, so opportunities to encounter it are naturally limited.
Among such items, it is rare to find one that has undergone such extensive maintenance anywhere in the world.
Because opportunities for acquisition are limited, I want you to choose it without hesitation.
Don't miss this opportunity!
