Introduced in the late 1980s, the Cougar was Cartier's answer to a more assertive, architecturally bold case language: the integrated bracelet design, the pronounced lugs, and the Roman numeral dial all read as unmistakably Cartier while departing from the restrained geometry of the Tank lineage. This example is 26mm in 18-karat solid yellow gold, powered by a quartz movement, and fitted with a sapphire crystal — the correct specification for the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue dial is the configuration worth seeking. Against the more common white or silver variants, the blue creates a depth that the gold case amplifies rather than competes with — the warmth of the metal and the coolness of the dial hold each other in a tension that photographs consistently understate. Factory-set Cartier diamonds on the bezel are original to the watch, not aftermarket additions, which matters both for integrity and for how evenly they sit. The leather strap is period-appropriate. Dating to 1990, this example presents in very good condition throughout — case, crystal, bezel, and bracelet all showing only the lightest evidence of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOffered in very good condition.
