Dial variants of this quality are among the most sought-after configurations in the entire Must de Cartier canon, and examples in strong original condition command significant collector premiums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The gold-plated sterling silver case retains its characteristic warm yellow tone, with the clean, unadorned Tank lines — wide horizontal bands, vertical sides, and gently curved crystal — presenting as timelessly as they did when the Must de Cartier line was conceived by Cartier's president Robert Hocq in 1973. The \"must de Cartier\" signature sits at 12 o'clock in Cartier's elegant script, with the double \"C\" Cartier logo positioned at 6 o'clock in matching gold tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fluted crown set with a blue synthetic spinel cabochon — one of the most enduring signatures in watch design — completes the case. Paired with a brown lizard-skin strap with a gold-tone pin buckle, this is a watch of genuine character and considerable rarity in this dial configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbig\u003eMovement\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMechanical Manual Wind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCartier \/ ETA 7001 (Swiss lever escapement)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunctions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHours and Minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbig\u003eCase\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVermeil — Gold-Plated Sterling Silver (925\/1000)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRectangular — Tank LM (Large Model)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFluted crown set with blue synthetic spinel cabochon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic \/ Plexiglass — gently curved\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Wood grain\" \/ tiger's eye brown lacquer dial — deeply figured swirling tobacco tone; gold-tone \"must de Cartier\" signature at 12 o'clock; double \"C\" Cartier logo at 6 o'clock; gold-plated sword-shaped hands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px;\" width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px;\" width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 34px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 34px;\"\u003eStrap Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 34px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrown lizard-skin leather\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 14.75px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 14.75px;\"\u003eClasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 14.75px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePin buckle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003eClasp Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGold-tone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCollection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMust de Cartier Tank — Large Model\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eca. 1973–1983\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwiss Made\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52049753964840,"sku":"590005","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2517\/4164\/files\/Screenshot2026-07-03at1.34.44pm.png?v=1783049770","url":"https:\/\/swissemporium.com.au\/products\/must-de-cartier-tank-tigers-eye-brown-dial","provider":"Swiss Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
