Introduced in the 1920s—often cited as 1923 or 1929—the Cartier Tank Obus is a rare and distinctive member of the Tank family, immediately recognizable by its square case and signature obus (bullet- or shell-shaped) lugs.
The example at hand features a beautiful 18 kt yellow gold case measuring 25 × 25 mm, with a wide polished bezel and bold vivid blue enamel Roman numerals. The clean white dial is signed “Paris” and paired with the characteristic blued hands. The watch is fitted with a high-quality Bulang & Sons leather strap, and the quartz-driven movement has been fully checked with a fresh battery fitted by our watchmaker.
We consider the Tank Obus an important—yet often underappreciated—chapter in Cartier’s history, showcasing the brand’s ability to evolve the iconic Tank design while preserving its artistic and luxurious spirit.
