Introduction
Introduced in the early 1980s following the success of Cartier’s collaboration with Dupont on a collection of co-branded lighters that ended up securing Cartier’s financial future, the Tank Must de Cartier collection was a diffusion line that leveraged the Cartier Tank’s iconic silhouette and Cartier’s legendary branding in a more affordable package so as to offer customers the same look as before but at a more palatable price tag. Launched under the Tank Must’s original principles, the ref. WSTA0054 that we have here debuted as part of a trio of Tank Musts that ditched the gold-plated silver cases of before and instead came in the ever-popular stainless steel. Available in three colourways, this collection pays homage to the colours that formed the original collection, with the ref. WSTA0054 boasting a stunning red dial. Boasting a minimalist dials, stunning dial-matching alligator leather straps and rectangular 33.7mm x 25.5mm stainless steel case, the modern Tank Must de Cartier ref. WSTA0054 harbors just about as much of Cartier’s classical design as they can. Distinctively ‘Cartier’ with its cabochon sapphire crowns, iconic design and overall aesthetic, this legendary horological design is as timeless as they come.
