The Must Tank is a very popular vintage Cartier model.
It was announced in 1976 and went on sale in 1977.
This is a long-selling model that was in the lineup until around 2004.
Over the course of nearly 30 years of production, the watch has undergone changes to its machinery, dial and crown design, etc.
The Mast Tank has undergone minor changes over time, but users have never grown tired of it.
A major minor change was made around 1999.
The case size has been increased by 1mm from the previous size, giving it a more voluminous feel.
The dial will be completely different from the previous one,
Only the classic ivory Roman dial remains largely unchanged.
However, the indexes are slightly raised, giving the dial itself a three-dimensional impression.
See how there's a slight bulge around the Roman numerals?
The base of the crown has also been changed from gold-plated to pure gold.
Accordingly, the case structure has also changed, with the crown now being of the joint type.
What is not widely known is that this has caused parts prices to skyrocket.
And the old model had a plastic inner case,
Later models are made of solid material with the back cover integrated into the watch, making them extremely durable.
Even though it is a minor change, the structure is so different that it can be said to be a completely different watch.
The later model was significantly updated.
Considering that the machine is the same as the old model, maintenance is also easy.
It is clear that it is also highly practical.
However, perhaps due to the changing times, the Mast series was discontinued after about five years.
Mast tanks will also disappear from the lineup.
I think that by improving it, we would have gained a lot of fans.
Vermeil is expensive and the material discolors easily,
It may have gone out of production.
When comparing the old and new versions, there are many differences, and each has its own merits.
In particular, the later models had a short production period, making them very hard to come by.
Recently, the chances of seeing them have become very rare, so
Don't miss this opportunity.
