Cartier Must Tank
More actions
The Must de Cartier Tank is the more attainable diffusion line Cartier introduced in 1977 amid rising gold prices, casing the rectangular Tank silhouette in vermeil, gold-plated sterling silver, rather than solid gold, and fitting either an inexpensive quartz movement or a manual caliber depending on the reference. Early examples carry the "Must de Cartier" script over a plain lacquered dial in red, blue, or black with no numerals; later references add Roman numerals, and the line ran into the 1990s across many reference and colorway variants. Jackroad's costume-loan archive credits Shinnosuke Mitsushima with a "Cartier Must Tank" for Doctor-Y: Surgeon Hideki Kaji, the sixth annual Doctor-X spinoff installment, naming only the line.
