The champagne Roman dial of the "Cartier Must Tank" arrived today.
Although it has been handled several times in the past, it is still a mysterious specimen.
The so-called pre-mast tanks without the "must de" marking were produced in the early 1970s.
After that, they will no longer be seen when mast tanks are added to the regular lineup.
One theory is that the Pre-Mast Tank was produced solely by Cartier in the United States.
I heard that this resulted in many imitations, so they decided to produce mast tanks in their home country.
After that, I thought that products without the "must de" marking were no longer produced, but
It reappeared in the 1980s when the model was switched to quartz.
This time the dial color will be champagne,
It's clearly a different color than the ivory Roman dial.
And the logo is written in cursive, similar to previous Premast tanks.
Recently, a lot of information has come out about pre-mast tanks.
There is only mystery surrounding this Champagne Roman dial.
Currently, if you request a repair for this watch from the manufacturer, they will accept it on the condition that the dial is replaced with an ivory Roman dial.
This would take away from the appeal of the watch, so we repair it in-house.
Either way, the mysteriousness of the vintage model came to the forefront.
It's a truly mysterious watch.
This is a model that may seem like it's for enthusiasts, but
I personally like the rarity of this watch and the clean design of the dial itself.
I think that's what makes this watch so appealing.
Please feel free to use it without worrying too much.
Because this is the kind of watch I would like to see this happen,
We provide full support to our customers even after they make a purchase!
