Why choose this model?

Iconic Tank architecture
The Tank is defined by its flat vertical brancards and clean, crisp lines, with the lugs seamlessly integrated into the case structure. Designed by Louis Cartier in 1917, its distinctive geometry has remained recognizable through more than a century of reinterpretations.

Precious materials and distinctive details
The case is crafted from 18K yellow gold (750/1000) and complemented by a beaded crown set with a sapphire. The grained silvered dial provides a refined backdrop for the blue sword-shaped hands, while the black alligator leather strap adds a classic contrast to the warm tone of the gold case.

Compact Mini proportions
Measuring 24 mm × 16.5 mm with a thickness of 6.2 mm, the Mini model preserves the characteristic Tank proportions in a particularly discreet format. Its compact dimensions emphasize the elegant and understated character of the design.

Quartz precision and simplicity
The watch is equipped with a quartz movement, with hours and minutes as its functions. The straightforward configuration keeps the focus firmly on the Tank's distinctive case architecture and dial design.

A signature of Cartier design
The Tank Louis Cartier represents one of Cartier's defining watch designs. The combination of geometric purity, Roman-numeral dial language, sword-shaped hands and sapphire-set winding crown continues the visual codes established by the original Tank while adapting them to contemporary proportions.

Model story. The Tank, a century of design
Louis Cartier created the Tank in 1917, establishing a design that would become one of the Maison's most recognizable watchmaking signatures. The original concept drew its identity from the clean geometry of the case, while the integrated lugs and flat vertical brancards created a distinctive silhouette. The WGTA0352 carries this heritage into a refined Mini model, combining the historic Tank aesthetic with 18K yellow gold, a silvered dial and a black alligator leather strap.
