Today's offering showcases this mens vermeil Cartier Tank watch. It has an iconic tank case, classic and strong Roman dial with gold printing, gold epee hands, sapphire topped crown, and mechanical Cartier movement.
It has the look of a solid gold Tank for a fraction of the cost.
Before cost-cutting measures brought about the widespread use of cheaper quartz movements for many wristwatches, Cartier contracted with watch manufacturers to produce mechanical movements designed to last more than a lifetime.
Using traditional watchmaking practices, these gifted craftsmen poured individual attention into each wristwatch. As a result, mens Cartier wristwatches with mechanical movements are often more sought after by collectors than their quartz counterparts.
Originally designed for men by today's standard it could also be worn by a woman.
It is fully Cartier. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition. The dial has been meticulously refinished. It could pass as Cartier factory done to the naked eye. On the wrist it presents like new.
As part of the restoration the movement has just serviced by a Master Watchmaker.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap done in a similar style to the Cartier straps that usually came on these watches. We have also installed what the watch's original Cartier buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
