Great review! I especially enjoyed all the far away shots that give a much, much more accurate representation of how a watch looks and wears on the wrist. We need more of that, keep up the good work! 🤘
The large model of the new version (WSTA0083) also has an automatic movement. The new medium size is quartz now but used to be automatic. The back of the new large model is flatter than that of the old one and the curve is a bit more elegant. The dial is brushed and curved, whereas the previous model had noticeable flat surfaces. The strap is indeed made of genuine alligator.
I often wear a jeans and a nice polo, that is considered up-dressed in my role (back end developer) where hoodies or tees are the norm, sometimes wrinkled ones. My Santos and my Tank adapt very well. They are casual enough. I like to wear them on Friday when everyone else goes too casual. This is rebelious!
It’s a good looking watch, but I already have a Santos (which I love) and don’t think there’s room for two Cartier watches in my collection. Can’t wait for the Benzinger review!
Great review of a great watch! Cartier Tank would definitely be on my list when shopping for a dress watch. But as of now I’m not there yet, still in my sports watch period 😊
I like the look and history of Cartier but I feel like I can’t pull off square watches. I don’t know if my arms are not long enough or something, but they don’t look right. The American there is nice, and bark and jack did one on the panther which looked really good too. The two tone was intriguing. But I also work in an industrial setting and I would be afraid to wear it in the plant. A the scratching and the looks from the co workers.
I would laugh in your face if you told me that a Cartier Tank Americaine in 18ct rose gold (£12,500) should not have a date window or even a seconds-hand when worn in a formal setting....or indeed, any setting. There is a kind of inverted snobbery to such a conceit .
