This Tank Solo delivers Cartier's iconic century-old design in 18k gold, with a stainless steel caseback for an approachable entry into precious metal.
The Cartier Tank traces its lineage to 1917, when Louis Cartier drew inspiration from the Renault FT-17 tank's geometric form to create one of watchmaking's most enduring designs. Introduced in 2004, the Tank Solo succeeded the Must de Cartier line as the brand's entry-level Tank, bringing the house's most iconic silhouette to a broader audience. The reference W1018755 embodies this philosophy into precious metal territory, pairing an 18k yellow gold case with a stainless steel caseback, preserving the feel and presence of gold on the wrist at a more approachable price point. Cartier's familiar signatures remain intact, including a light silvered opaline dial with Roman numerals and a chemin de fer (“railway”) minute track, blued-steel sword-shaped hands, and a blue synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel set into the beaded crown. Completing the watch is a black alligator strap secured by a beautifully curved 18k yellow gold buckle.
