Tank Française

The Cartier Tank Française ref. 2403 is an elegant reinterpretation of the iconic Tank design, introduced in the late 1990s. With its bold, modern lines and integrated metal bracelet, the Française brought a contemporary edge to a century-old classic. Crafted from stainless steel, this particular reference is known for its mid-size case (typically around 28 mm x 32 mm, including the lugs), making it versatile and suitable for both men with slender wrists and women who prefer a slightly larger, sporty timepiece.

The square case is complemented by a smoothly curved bracelet, blending seamlessly into the lugs — a signature feature of the Française family. The dial retains Cartier’s timeless codes: Roman numerals, railroad minute track, and blued-steel sword-shaped hands, all protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The winding crown is set with Cartier’s traditional blue cabochon spinel.

Inside, the ref. 2403 is powered by a Cartier automatic mechanical movement, offering reliable timekeeping with the convenience of self-winding. It combines Swiss horological tradition with Cartier’s signature Parisian elegance.

With its mix of classic refinement and modern styling, the Tank Française 2403 remains a highly wearable and iconic luxury watch that transitions effortlessly from casual to formal wear.
