Cartier Tank Française Tank Française Large

Quartz or automatic depending on size/generation.

It is rated to 30 meters, about 98 feet. That covers rain and hand washing. It is not rated for swimming. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Identified by model + size: Tank Française, with size driving case dimensions. Modern steel pieces carry WGTA/WSTA-style W-codes that vary by size, metal, and movement.. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.

Tank Française, steel, integrated bracelet (size family). Collector nicknames are not official Cartier names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
