Description

The Tank Louis Cartier WGTA0011 is presented in a rose gold case measuring 33.7 mm by 25.5 mm, where the model’s emblematic rectangular geometry is elegantly expressed. A square-shaped glass is fitted to protect the dial, while a blue crown is employed to provide an immediately recognizable Cartier signature. Water resistance is rated up to 3 bar (approximately 30 meters), ensuring everyday practicality is maintained alongside dress-watch refinement.

Time is indicated by hours and minutes, displayed with clarity in keeping with the Tank’s timeless aesthetic. A manual-winding mechanical movement is installed, so that a traditional winding ritual is preserved and a slim profile is upheld. The tactile interaction with the crown reinforces the intimate character for which the Tank is known.

Through its restrained proportions, precious metal construction, and faithful adherence to classic design codes, the WGTA0011 reference is positioned as a pure expression of the Tank Louis Cartier. Understated elegance is achieved, and enduring versatility is offered for both formal and daily wear.

Cartier – Bio

Founded by Louis-Francois Cartier in 1847, the house of Cartier is the luxury jewellers by reference in France.
Jewellers of the royal family and their prominent entourage, they quickly acquired fame in Europe. Later Louis Cartier gave a second life to old watchmaking traditions with pieces like the mystery clocks, gem-set watches and other flamboyant pieces.

One of their iconic models called the Santos was made in 1904 for his friend and client the aviator from Brazil, Alberto Santos-Dumont.   Followed by other successful models like the Tonneau in 1906, the Tortue in 1912 and the famous Tank in 1919 to mention few. The brand stayed in the family until 1964 and is now owned by a Swiss watch group.
