10 Amazing Cartier Tank Alternatives 

Learning something new from you every time! I love browsing the individual websites for these watches you’ve recommended. Subscribed…

Nice one Kieron! Some great options here 👍

Well done Kieron! Very insightful review. I'm sure it was no mean feat putting this together. Really interesting pieces... I think the 1st Seiko gets a lot of flack because it's wrongly categorised as a Tank homage though. I believe it's actually a Reverso homage, actually... The angular lugs hint at this, I think... Great video man! Keep up the great work. Cheers!

Thanks for this video - nicely done. I actually own the Herbelin Art Deco. It is a fantastic time piece that both exudes Cartier Tank and JLC Reverso-esque vibes. Well-built and robust. The guilloche enhances the dial design and the cabochon on the crown is a nice homage to Cartier. I just also recently purchased the Vario Versa. A very unique timepiece - it is my "JLC Reverso GMT". Both scratched the rectangular dress watch itch. Keep up the great content!

Great video - subscribed. Many thanks 🙏

Brilliant choices. Impressed by how many you uncovered and they all seem to be good watches depending on your preference and size of your wrist. 👏🏻

Thank you! Ordering my Sanda and/or Pablo Raez right away. 😁

Very nice choices and many brands that are new to me. Another great video,thank you

That was a great video. There’s also an Indian brand. Not sure if it’s still in production but I see several on Etsy. Tank looking but still unique. Cheers!

Mom I made it! The photo of the Bergmann 1922 is my wrist! 😅 How cool is that! ❤

The Seiko SUP880 cannot be ignored here. It even comes in a solar variant. I have a vintage quartz version from the late 70's that belonged to my grandfather. It's incredible.

Very well done. Thank you.

Not really a Tank alternative, but I just recently learned about the Longines Split 5, ana digi. Super slim, tiny and 1980s, in Tank shaped case.

Quality review love watching your channel

Great video!

I’ve got a Duckworth Prestex and yeah it’s a great quality watch!

The Lorier is really cool 😎

Awesome video 👌 Can’t wait to see the Casio LTP B165 review. I’ve only found one on youtube.

Really nice selection! I was not aware of some of the brands at all, I like the De Guzman model. I was a bit surprised to see no Seiko in the list, I bought the SWR052P1 for 156 EUR last year. It is a quartz model with a very clean and simple look and a not-so bad strap for an affordable Seiko. It has a small blue (pseudo) crystal on the crown like the tank.

I never really liked the look of Tank style watches, but the more I see of them plus you're infectious enthusiasm, the more I'm warming to the style. Amazing how many there are! That Lorier looks very classy....and unique. Great work Kieron, cheers 👍

Rotary do a great tank for the price point.

Great vid thanks!!

Great video and superb picks, especially that Hamilton! Definitely my favorite of the bunch. There's just a couple of things that great on me and they aren't your fault. One of them is this term "affordable." I know we have a general idea of what this means but it's honestly, completely meaningless. Affordability is tied to a personal situation. Affordability lives in the moment. Calling something affordable or not affordable is honestly about the most subjective measure you could possibly make. Whether or not a person thinks a watch is affordable depends not only on their net worth and their income, but expenses, temporary setbacks or problems, unexpected windfalls... I'm saying it doesn't just very person to person it varies moment to moment. What is affordable for one person is not affordable for another, and what is affordable to a particular person may not be affordable to them 6 months or 6 years down the line depending on how their life changes. I don't know that the word budget is any better. A 3 billion dollar budget is still a budget. I just I guess I'm searching for a word that conveys what we want affordable to convey without all the fuforah. The other thing I want to do address is the 3000 price tag of the tank. Cartier watches and for the most part all luxury Swiss watches do not sell on specs. You will never be able to get better specs better build better quality at a lower price and compete because people pay for the name and all they are paying for in some cases is the name. I do appreciate having cheaper alternatives to a watch that is currently out of reach, but the persistent ditch will be there because it is that particular thing that we want. but hell with it here's to scratching the itch for now 😁

I wanted a “tank” in my collection, but I didn’t care for the look of the Cartier though. I ended up torn between the Hamilton Boulton, or the Bulova Frank Sinatra 'My Way' 98A261. Ended up with the Bulova. I love its art deco aesthetic. I have the two tone variant. I appreciate when a watch incorporates gold tone on the inside (à la Alpinist) so that I don’t really have to worry about marring the plating. Sure the name might just be a cash grab, but it’s a lovely little sharp angled thing if you like that kind of thing. I still wanna get the Hami for the exact opposite reason; its roundness loI. I think the roman numerals look crowded on the Cartier vs the Hamilton given its wider case. Just wanted to throw the My Way tank in there since It never gets mentioned. Like you said, Bulova does Art Deco well, therefore I consider it worth a look.

I went with 1990 Credor Seiko 8J81-5020 on a Forstner 9-Row Beads of Rice bracelet. Cheers!

Watch this video and went for the Bergman UHR 1922. Ordered it from the company in Frankfurt, almost 4 weeks for free shipping, but for &28 well worth it. Love the watch, it's way better than the price. Aloha and Mahalo.

Nice line up, one for every budget....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

You should look at the Citizen tank style - have two and they are the slimmest and most comfortable I have ever owned

really good video brothe

Thanks for the video its come in the time when i looking for tank watch 😊 And guys should look for DW watches they have good tank watch

man that Deguzman is cool, just wish it didn't have the date and was manual wind so it could be a lot slimmer

Wow what a Casio! The blue and gold looks dope! I would not mind adding that Lorier to my collection... What a beauty! Herbelin? Is that the same brand as Michelle Herbelin? That Duckworth also looks very pretty! Have a great week man!

What about several similar tank models from Longines?

Great video! thank you! I've been looking at this style of watch--- some excellent options!!! thank you! I've subbed and will check out your over videos! Cheers, Michael

Nice video.. But where is contact you for purchase your branded Watch in pakistan because there many copies in the market ...

Very informative

I have the Lorier and highly recommend it.

Great alternative to the tank in this vid

The Seiko SWR049 is a Cartier tank homage watch and is also a very good alternative for roughly $200 (American).

Do you mean a navy dial rather than a black dial on the Casio LTP B165L?

The Herbelin looks more like a JLC Reverso to me 😅 but thanks for another great video!!

The size of Cartier Tank is kind of smaller for men's wrists. Can you give me a clue about a watch that has a similar face to Cartier Tank but has a wider lugs?

The Söner is for me the Coolest 👌🏻👌🏻

thanks

What about Rotary Cambridge?

Do not forget the LIP Churchill.

great video Kieren. Thank you for inclusion Neil

Longines Dolce Vita was a big omission. Worth looking at. Having said all that, just get a pre-owned Cartier. You could get one for about £1,500 and you’d have a real Cartier, as worn by Muhammad Ali, JFK, Ingrid Bergman, Princess Diana, Cary Grant and everyone else who was cool in the 20th Century. You’d always know you had the original on your wrist, not an homage

the jump from a 50$ watch to the 500$ watch caught me off guard I was about go buy that watch until I heard the price lmaooo

You can also find some really cool alternatives in vintage Seiko and Citizen watches.

I have an herbelin CAP camarat Square automatic , seems a Cartier Santos homage but is good 😅

Where are the HMT Ashwini/inox and the Fossil Carraway?

A little on the pricier side but you can’t forget the Longines DolceVita

See also an interesting modern take from Farer: - Farer Milan: green dial with silver numerals - Farer London: white dial with red numerals - Farer Paris: blue dial with Roman numerals

THANNNKKK UUUUUUUUU

a tank style dress should aways be quartz, I think the automatic sweep looks silly on a rectangular dial in my opinion

Well, the best affordable watch I’ve ever seen is the Rotary Cambridge range. It’s too good to not feature in this list. But it didn’t, for some reason.

I have the Sanda and it's so much better than a fake Cartier (which I - embarrassingly - have).

Would rather save up for a cartier tank. Instantly stands out over a Seiko or Hamilton and is the OG. Also retains better value

the tank does have the best proportions, every little thing about it, even the buckle and strap are perfection. But definitely overpriced. But it is aesthetically perfect.

Unfortunately, none of these watches supplant the Cartier Tank Louis... except the JLC Reverso Tribute.

Bergmann or the new Casio watch?

Mayotta

My wife told me no alternative Cartier

U cant get the blue,red or green Vario as there sold out!😭

I’m surprised the Kamazu wasn’t included in here

It loses the roman numerals? Thank god!

Lego scarlet watch

Berny makes a beautiful day/date tank watch for $50.

Sansa, Pablo Raez.... ahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

isn't it a bit strange, to speak Cartier Tank alternatives, not mentioning the Seiko variants?

Yeah, and you can buy a Hyundai but it’ll never be a Mercedes. Name brand watches are purchased not for performance but for the gratification and satisfaction of the owner. If performance was the only standard, nothing but solar atomic Casios and Citizens would sell.

How are those better ? Cartier is top horlogerie and not that expensive for entry level tank . So you obviously better buy a pre owned cartier than 2 brand new hamilton…

Cheaper? Yeah. Better? Nay. 😂

Better?? Er, no....

For the riff raff, absurd comparison.

Stop putting those infuriating sound effects in…they set dogs off!

It’s a FAKE! Save and buy the original!
