Cartier Francaise 18k

The Cartier Tank Française Ref. 1840 is a refined interpretation of one of Cartier’s most iconic watch designs, combining timeless elegance with practical sophistication. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this reference features the classic rectangular Tank case, measuring approximately 28 × 32 mm, paired with a silvered dial displaying Roman numerals, blued steel hands, a railway minute track, and a discreet date window at six o’clock. Protected by a sapphire crystal and water-resistant to 3 ATM, the watch is powered by a reliable automatic mechanical movement, offering everyday usability alongside traditional Swiss craftsmanship. Introduced as part of the Tank Française collection in the mid-1990s, Ref. 1840 embodies Cartier’s long-standing design philosophy of clean lines, balanced proportions, and understated luxury, a heritage that traces back to the Maison’s founding in Paris in 1847.
