A TANK WITH A SECRET MOVE
The Cartier Tank Basculante is for someone who wants more than a classic Tank shape. Based on Cartier’s 1930s “cabriolet” idea, the case rotates inside its steel frame, turning the watch into a small object you actually interact with. It is elegant, but also clever – a rare Cartier that has a real mechanical gesture, not just a beautiful outline.
Dial
– Original silvered Cartier dial in excellent condition
– Black Roman numerals with classic Cartier minute track
– Blued Cartier hands
– The dial stays very pure and traditional, which is exactly why the rotating case works so well
– It gives the watch the familiar Tank language, while the construction makes it much more unusual
Strap & Buckle
– Original black leather strap
– The simple black strap keeps the focus on the steel case and the reversible construction
Case
– Stainless steel reversible Tank Basculante case in excellent overall condition
– Case size: approx. 22 x 32 mm
– Blue cabochon at 12 o’clock used to release and rotate the case
– Brushed and polished steel surfaces give the watch a sharper, more architectural feel than a normal small Tank
Movement
– Cartier quartz movement
– Thin, practical and correct for this reference
A rare and very charming Cartier Basculante with the right 1990s character: steel case, Roman dial, blue hands and the signature rotating construction. A small Cartier with a party trick – elegant enough to wear daily, interesting enough to start a conversation.
