Now with original Cartier leather strap and Cartier vermeil buckle

A striking and elusive creation from Cartier’s golden age of artistic dial experimentation, this Tank Must de Vermeil PMstands out with its rare brown wood ‘turtle shell’ dial—a dial that reflects the maison’s bold creativity during the early 1980s. Now further elevated with its original Cartier leather bracelet and signed vermeil buckle, this piece exemplifies both collector-grade authenticity and timeless Parisian elegance.

Key Features

  • Case: 20mm x 28mm classic Tank-shaped case in gold-plated sterling silver (vermeil), with clean lines and a refined vintage profile.

  • Dial: Rare original brown wood 'turtle shell' dial—a shimmering and grain-rich pattern evoking natural depth and warmth.

  • Hands: Signature gold-tone sword hands, elegant and legible, enhancing the harmony of the warm-toned dial.

  • Movement: Manual-wind Cartier Caliber 78-1, recently serviced and running flawlessly.

  • Strap & Buckle: Now offered on the original Cartier brown leather strap with a genuine Cartier vermeil buckle, further reinforcing its provenance and collector appeal.

Condition Report

This vintage Cartier Tank Must is in very good original condition:

  • The vermeil case retains its soft, warm luster with sharp edges and minimal signs of wear.

  • The wood dial is pristine, with only small cracks or discoloration—rare for a piece of this era.

  • The manual movement has been recently serviced and is keeping accurate time.

  • The original Cartier strap remains in excellent condition, lightly handled, and pairs naturally with the richness of the dial.

  • The signed Cartier buckle is unpolished and well-preserved, completing the authentic ensemble.

Why Collectors Love It

Cartier’s Tank Must collection introduced a range of creative dial treatments in the 1970s and 1980s, but few have captured attention quite like the ‘turtle shell’ wood dial—both rare and elegant. The addition of the original Cartier strap and buckle transforms this piece from beautiful to museum-worthy.

Whether you're an admirer of Cartier’s design heritage or a seasoned vintage watch collector, this Tank offers a rare combination of aesthetic charm, mechanical integrity, and complete Cartier originality.

Wire length between the two connectors is short for a full-size pickup
Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads
I used the harness to wire ditch lights on opposite sides of a full-size pickup (F150). The wire between the 2 2-pin connectors was about 18 inches too short. Fortunately, splicing the wires from the (Nilight) ditch lights and the included pigtails gave barely enough length to reach the connectors. The connectors are buried inside the trim channel for the cowl; I'd have preferred they were exposed on each side to allow for easy swapping of the lights, but I can live with it. There is more than enough wire from the first connector to the relay for my all-under-hood installation, but I didn't think to measure if it would reach into the truck bed. The harness is of good quality and is a very good value. It would be a 5-star if it weren't for that little length issue.

great value
Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads
very affordable light install kit. worth the price just in the wiring connectors. I used this with my Nilight front bumper kit. i bypassed the button and wired high beam (+) to the yellow small wire. I did this so when the highbeams come on the light bar comes on. because with the stock arragement of this harness, the button continously draws power for the indicator LED
