{"product_id":"cartier-tank-black-dial-on-leather","title":"Cartier Tank Black Dial on Leather","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cartier Tank, introduced in 1917, is the reference against which every rectangular dress watch is measured. This example belongs to the larger Tank format — 23x28mm in silver — a size that reads with authority on the wrist without crossing into the territory of the oversized novelties that followed decades later. The movement is manual winding, which in a Tank of this generation is the correct choice: the slim profile that defines the case architecture depends on it, and the ritual of winding connects the wearer to the object in a way a rotor never quite does. Roman numerals on the dial, a sapphire cabochon crown, and a sapphire crystal complete a configuration that has changed remarkably little because it needed to change remarkably little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black dial is the version worth seeking. Cartier's cream and silver dials are more common; black gives the Roman chapter ring a graphic clarity that photographs flatten entirely — in hand, the contrast between the applied indices and the dark ground has a depth that only reveals itself under direct light. The leather strap keeps the case close to the wrist, which is where a Tank of this proportion belongs. Original condition throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOffered in very good condition, watch only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55048223195349,"sku":"IT5171","price":3490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/3182\/9461\/files\/cm04.webp?v=1790262019","url":"https:\/\/iconic-timepieces.com\/products\/cartier-tank-black-dial-on-leather","provider":"Iconic Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
