The Tank Francaise is a more modern series within the Cartier Tank collection. The original Tank Louis watch is perhaps the most legendary and recognizable of all the timepieces produced by Cartier.The Tank’s iconic design was inspired by the Allied tanks that defended France in World War I. And in the case of the Tank Francaise, the links on their metal bracelets are a reference to a tank’s unique caterpillar tracks.
As featured on the Cartier website, the Tank Francaise series includes 17 different models. All 17 models are listed as appropriate for women and three are noted for men. Depending on the timepiece, there are both quartz and automatic movement options to choose from. Tank Francaise timepieces are made from metals including steel, yellow, white and pink gold.
While the majority of this series has metal bracelets, two models come with leather straps. And seven models also are set with diamonds. Sizes within the Tank Francaise series include small, medium and large models.
