Which Cartier is the right Cartier for you?
Tank
We’re often asked if the Cartier tank is a good watch. Cartier Tank is legendary. The simple and straight outlines of the case are similar to a combat vehicle. The design of the Cartier Tank has remained practically unchanged since 1917.
You’ll see this watch on the wrist of celebrities and top officials from the last century and today. A Cartier Tank is relevant, elegant, and timeless.

Featured: The Santos de Cartier
When Cartier released its first Santos watch in 1904, it was a groundbreaker. In an era of pocket watches, Santos was designed with a leather strap to be worn on the wrist thereby freeing the hands of the man who inspired it, the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, so he could fly a plane unencumbered.
The watch was square instead of round, inspired by the urban architecture of the Eiffel Tower. And, also somewhat shocking: the bezel screws were visible, delivering another industrial touch.
All in all, the Santos de Cartier watch wasn’t just revolutionary; it was mightily attractive too. No wonder it proved to be so popular that Cartier continues to offer it to this day.
Recently, the Santos has been updated with striking new changes that still respect the watch's DNA but bring it up to contemporary times, such as a caliber resistant to powerful magnetic fields.
Additionally, for all the deep-sea divers out there, Santos is now water-resistant, a feat that is accomplished with minimal case thickness. The watch's functionality has been updated to stand changes in position, humidity, temperature, pressure, impact, and acceleration—none of it interferes with its accuracy.
There’s a choice of steel or gold links in the Santos' strap (calfskin or alligator skin in an array of colors is also available). The straps are interchangeable and can be switched in the flick of a wrist, thanks to Cartier's QuickSwitch™ system.
The link bracelet can be customized for a personalized fit, removing or adding links with the touch of a button, the result of Cartier's SmartLink™ self-fitting technology.
The features that made the Santos de Cartier so loved in the first place remain the same: the signature square shape, the visible screws, the refined yet rugged aesthetic, the masterful artistry, and the ultimate reliability of function.
The Santos de Cartier is a timeless classic re-engineered for modern living.
