Cartier Tank

Which strap fits your Tank

The Tank comes in many versions and sizes, so the strap is cut to your measurements. Usual lug widths: Must and Louis Cartier small 16 mm, large 19 mm; Must XL 23 mm; Solo small 17 mm, large 20 mm. A strap for a large Must is one millimetre too narrow for a large Solo, so check your model or measure between the lugs.

The buckle width is 12, 14, 16 or 18 mm. Lengths run from XS 100/60 to XXL 130/90 mm for a tang buckle, or 100/100, 110/110 and 120/120 mm for a butterfly clasp; a version with a square short end for a deployant clasp is also available. The Tank uses spring bars: straight, or quick-release for changing the strap without a tool.

Leathers and details

Choose from eleven leathers: shiny, matte and large grain alligator, lizard, stingray, ostrich leg, French goat and four calf leathers (Satinlys, Granite, Sweet and fully vegetable-tanned). The lining is Zermatt leather from Tanneries Haas or goat leather. Every strap is cut, edge-painted and saddle-stitched by hand with waxed linen thread from Japan, in the thread colour you choose.

Deciding between finishes? Read matte or shiny alligator, large grain or classic alligator and goat leather.
