Very Good Condition
This vintage Cartier Must de Tank Vermeil 20mm watch is presented in very good condition, with light scratches to the case and signs of wear to the strap. Featuring a gold-plated 925 silver case, black textured leather strap, black and grey dial with Roman numerals, quartz movement, and blue cabochon crown, it is an elegant choice for workdays, dinners, or formal occasions.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What does vermeil mean on this Cartier Must de Tank? A: Vermeil means the case is made from sterling silver with a thick layer of gold plating over it. On vintage Must de Cartier watches, this is one of the signature constructions and gives the watch its warm gold-toned finish while keeping the slim classic Tank profile.
Q: How does the 20 mm size wear on the wrist? A: This 20 mm model wears as a small, elegant dress watch. Because the Tank has a rectangular shape, it has a little more wrist presence than a round watch of the same width, but it still suits those who prefer a refined and understated fit.
Q: Is this watch quartz or mechanical? A: This particular watch has a quartz movement, so it is battery-powered rather than hand-wound. That makes it easy to wear as an everyday vintage dress watch without the routine winding of a mechanical model.
Q: How long does the battery usually last? A: For a classic Cartier quartz movement, battery life is typically around 2 to 3 years, depending on use and the condition of the movement. It is best to have battery changes carried out by a professional so the seals can be checked at the same time.
Q: Is this watch water-resistant? A: Vintage Cartier Tank models were designed for light day-to-day exposure rather than swimming or showering. As seals age over time, it is safest to treat this watch as splash-resistant only and to keep it away from full water immersion.
Q: Can the strap be replaced? A: Yes, the black textured leather strap can be replaced. As with many Tank models, the case and lugs are quite slim, so it is best to choose a strap with the correct width and a relatively thin profile, ideally fitted by a watchmaker.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: This example is listed in very good vintage condition. It shows light scratches on the case, light traces of use internally, and visible wear to the strap, which is in line with careful previous use and the age of the piece.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: This watch is sold without box, papers, or other additional items. Everything included with the sale is stated in the product information for this listing.
Q: How is authenticity checked on a vintage Cartier like this? A: A Retro Tale offers a lifetime authenticity guarantee. For vintage Must de Tank watches, common points of verification include the correct case construction, Cartier engravings and numbers, dial layout, cabochon crown, and other period details consistent with authentic Cartier production.
