Cartier updates the Tank Française watch - first launched in 1996
By SENATUS Editor | 18 January 2023

Launched in 1996, the Tank Française debuted a metal bracelet in perfect harmony with the case, becoming an immediate member of the great Tank family.

In 2023, an evolution to the Tank Française is the monobloc metal design. A new approach, both aesthetic and ergonomic, which energises the ultra-profiled lines of the watch. There are also new dial finishes across as well as the integration of the crown into the case design.

“The new Tank Française reflects a creative conviction. Like rediscovering the raw nature of a cut stone, it was about capturing the watch's radical shape, simplifying its essential lines and stripping them of all embellishment to return to the myth’s origin,” Marie-Laure Cérède, Jewellery & Watchmaking Creative Director
