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 in 2021 under the Must de Cartier collection, but breaking from its principles, the WSTA0040 that we have here features an XL stainless steel construction measuring 31mm x 41mm, an automatic cal. 1847MC movement and a silver guilloche dial with a date complication at 6 o’clock. Powered by an automatic movement, the ref. 4490 that we have here breaks from the Tank’s traditionalist form with an increased prowess that makes it one of the most impressive stainless steel Tank Musts within the entire modern collection.

Watch is in overall like-new condition. The case shows only light signs of wear or handling. Comes complete with inner and outer boxes and warranty card.

An impressive watch on the wrist, the Tank Must XL takes the Tank's timeless form and silhouette and slingshots it into the modern era.
