Cartier Tank Etanche from 1945

Price on request

 Here we have a very beautiful Tank, known as the "waterproof" Tank, made by Cartier with a double-case system. Obviously, today it's no longer waterproof at all, but at the time, it was truly the Tank designed to withstand water.

This model is equipped with a Jaeger movement, dating from 1945, with that superb, absolutely distinctive Art Deco dial. This Tank Étanche is one of Cartier's iconic pieces, because it's one of the best-known and most highly regarded Tanks from the 1940s. And above all, its design is completely unique, with the round center of the dial, which is both surprising and incredibly modern for its time.

This watch comes from an auction that took place in 2021, and it is entirely original, having been verified by Cartier. It has retained its specific features, notably its protective system with sapphire crystal and plexiglass, since it was designed to be used underwater, which was quite exceptional for Cartier at that time.

It can clearly be said that this is one of the very few dive watches from Cartier, or at least one of Cartier's rare attempts to create a truly functional watch while maintaining incredible elegance and design.

 

 

Là, nous avons une très jolie Tank dite étanche, réalisée par Cartier avec un système de double boîtier. Évidemment, aujourd’hui, elle n’est plus du tout étanche, mais à l’époque, c’était vraiment la Tank pensée pour résister à l’eau.

On est sur un modèle équipé d’un mouvement Jaeger, qui date de 1945, avec ce superbe cadran Art Déco absolument caractéristique. Cette Tank Étanche fait partie des pièces iconiques de Cartier, parce que c’est l’une des Tank des années 40 les plus connues et les plus réputées. Et surtout, son design est totalement unique, avec ce rond au centre du cadran, qui est à la fois surprenant et incroyablement moderne pour l’époque.

Cette montre provient d’une vente aux enchères qui a eu lieu en 2021, et elle est entièrement d’origine, vérifiée chez Cartier. Elle a conservé ses éléments spécifiques, notamment son système de protection avec verre saphir et plexiglas, puisqu’elle était conçue pour pouvoir aller sous l’eau, ce qui est assez exceptionnel pour Cartier à cette période.

On peut clairement dire que c’est l’une des très rares montres de plongée chez Cartier, ou en tout cas une des rares tentatives de Cartier d’aller vers une montre véritablement fonctionnelle, tout en conservant une élégance et un design incroyables.
