The "Cartier Must Tank" that arrived today is a rare item in the series that features a pure white dial, which is very rare.
This design was introduced in the mid-1990s as the "early model" and
The "late model" that underwent a major minor change around 1999 has also arrived.
When it comes to Mast Tank with a white dial, it is the Pre-Mast Tank.
There are surprisingly few quartz models with white dials.
The opal and arabic dials are white silver instead of white.
The only watch with a white Arabic dial that is the polar opposite of this one is the
In terms of Cartier-ness, this flying Roman dial is the one to go for.
Judging from the case model number, it appears to have been introduced in the mid-1990s.
I have never seen this dial on an older model.
Therefore, please forgive me if it has existed for a long time (laughs).
If we consider that to be the case,
The production period of the early model is estimated to be around 5 years.
The later model was available from 1999 to 2004, so
The production period for each is very short,
The actual watch is different in size and looks like a different watch,
Both of these are extremely rare.
If you have been looking for this design in a mast tank for some time,
You may be thinking, "I don't seem to see it very often."
The number of stocks is far less than the very popular Opalan,
As they may sell out as soon as they arrive,
The actual time that the item is on sale may be short.
This time, the early and late models of the same design arrived at the same time,
I think it was the first time I can remember.
Subtle differences in dial design and case size,
This is a great opportunity to compare the finer details.
Neither is better or worse; both have their own merits.
You will be able to enjoy the differences in the different generations even within the same series.
In preparation for sale, both pieces have been overhauled internally, the cases re-plated, and the glass replaced, so they are in excellent condition.
The last time we had them in stock, they all sold out very quickly, so
If you're looking for one, hurry up!
