The "Cartier Must Tank" that arrived today comes with a lifetime warranty that includes free complete service from Cartier.
It's a piece that increases in value not only as a watch but also in terms of service as the years go by.
The Must Tank was introduced in 1977 as the first model in the "Must de Cartier" series, which was unveiled in 1976.
Initially, it started with hand-wound models and later switched to quartz models.
The dial designs became even more diverse, making it a series with a charming variety of watch designs.
However, the most basic and classic ivory Roman numeral dial,
featuring Cartier's characteristic dial design, remained in the lineup until production ceased.
It reminds us again of the importance of being a "classic."
Personally, whether a wristwatch is mechanical or battery-powered,
I believe each has its own merits, so I don't think one is better or worse.
However, when considering the design of the watch itself,
to answer why the Tank has been a beloved and wonderful watch for so long,
I believe the "size" of the watch is more important than its mechanism.
The Must Tank, which follows the design of the Tank Louis Cartier,
has differences in dial color and case material, but
the watch size and general dial design are the same.
When a minor change was made later, the watch size became larger,
which caused a peculiar sense of discomfort.
I believe that the Tank looks beautiful precisely because of this size,
and it has the atmosphere of a wearable work of art.
If this size differed by even 1mm, it would be a completely different watch.
It is no exaggeration to say that the size of a watch is that important.
Given that, the old-size Must Tank is the one to choose, but
when it also comes with a wonderful service that includes a lifetime warranty,
the choice naturally becomes the hand-wound model from the early days of production.
No matter where or what watch you buy, maintenance will always be required,
and repair costs and services vary among stores.
What makes this clear is the service with a lifetime warranty, where
the expensive complete service for manufacturer repairs is free.
There is no other service that offers such clear and unparalleled benefits to everyone.
This time, we delivered it to a customer who had inquired previously, but
because it is a limited edition that is difficult to obtain, there's no need to hesitate;
I hope you think that the best time to buy is when you encounter it.
The next arrival is completely undecided, but I hope we can meet again.
