Info
The Tank is not simply a watch; it is one of the most recognizable and enduring shapes in modern watchmaking history. When Cartier introduced it in 1917, the Maison transformed a military inspiration into an exercise in pure geometric elegance, creating a rectangular case destined to become iconic. Parallel lines, rigorous proportions, absolute balance: over time, the Tank has been chosen by artists, statesmen and personalities who sought discretion and character within a single object.
The Tank Must XL Automatic Ref. WSTA0040 represents the contemporary evolution of that aesthetic language. The proportions become more generous, the presence on the wrist more structured, yet the identity remains intact. The introduction of an automatic movement adds a modern and dynamic dimension to a design historically linked to manual or quartz versions, making this model perfectly suited to today’s lifestyle without betraying its heritage.
It is a watch that does not chase excess or theatrical effects; it asserts itself through balance. Its aesthetic is instantly recognizable yet never ostentatious. Reference WSTA0040 embodies this philosophy naturally, offering a timepiece capable of moving seamlessly between formal settings and more relaxed occasions with the same quiet authority that has defined the Tank collection for over a century.
Case, Bracelet, Dial & Glass
General Overview: The Tank Must XL Automatic Ref. WSTA0040 is presented in excellent condition and immediately conveys the impression of a piece that has never truly been worn. Sold by an official Cartier retailer on June 5th, 2025, it retains an aesthetic and structural integrity that places it far closer to a display example than to a used watch. The only micro hairlines visible can be detected exclusively under magnification and are entirely consistent with boutique display. The strap shows only the natural creasing where it has been closed within the deployant clasp, with no further signs of wear. The set is complete, and the official warranty can be extended free of charge up to a total of eight years through registration in the “Cartier Care” program via the dedicated QR code, extending coverage until June 2033 and further enhancing the value and peace of mind of this example.
Case: The stainless steel case stands out for its outstanding condition, virtually free from visible signs of wear to the naked eye. Any micro hairlines resulting from display use appear only under magnification and do not affect the overall visual impact. The caseback is fully consistent with the general condition of the watch, preserving the same aesthetic freshness. On the wrist, the sensation is that of a structurally solid and perfectly preserved timepiece, with the classic Tank elegance amplified by the XL proportions.
Strap: The black Cartier leather strap is in excellent condition and significantly contributes to the perception of a watch that has never been truly worn. The only visible traces are the light creases in the area of the deployant clasp, natural for a strap that has simply been tried on or adjusted. The leather remains clean, compact and free from odors, while the clasp is fully aligned with the overall condition of the watch, showing no noteworthy marks or scratches.
Dial: The silvered dial with black Roman numerals, blued steel hands and date window at 6 o’clock is presented in impeccable condition. The surface is uniform, the printing crisp, and the overall graphic balance perfectly aligned with Cartier’s aesthetic language, preserving the visual purity that has made the Tank one of the most iconic silhouettes in contemporary watchmaking.
Crystal: The sapphire crystal is perfectly clear and free from scratches, further confirming the outstanding state of preservation of this example. Its transparency ensures flawless legibility of the dial, reinforcing the overall impression of freshness.
