Cartier Tank Solo Ref. 2742

The Cartier Tank Solo Ref. 2742: For the woman who dares to choose true class.

You know the iconic look of the Cartier Tank, beloved by style icons worldwide. But while most opt ​​for the standard versions, you’re looking for something more expressive. This Cartier Tank Solo Ref. 2742 from 2010 isn’t just any watch; it’s a powerful statement of individuality for the woman who charts her own course.
Where your friends’ watches end, this one continues. The solid 18-karat yellow gold case has a deeper, richer sheen than more common steel models. It’s that warm glow that immediately catches your eye when you raise a glass or shake hands.

What truly elevates this watch is the combination with the luxurious leather strap. While others opt for metal, you choose the texture and refinement of high-quality leather, giving the watch a softer, more feminine, and above all, more exclusive look.

It’s the perfect balance between the rugged history of the ‘Tank’ and the graceful elegance of today.
The dial: The sun-shaped layout of the Roman numerals draws attention to the heart of the watch, where the blued steel hands tell the time with utmost precision.
The comfort: Thanks to the ultra-thin caliber 690 with 8 rubies, you’ll barely feel you’re wearing it. The watch conforms to your wrist like a second skin, chic under a silk blouse and daring with an evening gown.
The crown: The deep blue sapphire in the crown functions as a subtle jewel in itself, a secret detail that only the true connoisseur will recognize.

This is your chance to wear an icon in a way no one else does. Not a standard choice, but an investment in a timeless style that is as unique as you are.
When you’re ready to admire this special piece in person or compare it to the collection, Amsterdam Watch Company offers the expertise befitting a purchase at this level.

The Cartier Tank was designed by Louis Cartier in 1917. Its design was inspired by the brand new, awe-inspiring Renault FT-17 tank, used in WWI. We may consider the Tank to be a classical shape today, but back in 1917, it was a design revolution, much like the Renault that inspired it. The very first public example was given to General John Pershing in 1918.

The iconic design looks simple and elegant, but is deceptively complex at the same time. The nearly square case is flanked by two brancards, giving the watch its slender, rectangular appearance. A form that is clearly taken from the Renault tank with its tracks. A white dial, black Roman numerals, heat-blued hands, rail-road track and sapphire cabochon crown complete the typical Tank design.

Countless variations on the theme exist though. 1921 Saw the introduction of the elongated Cintrée models. In the 1970’s, in response to the Quartz crisis, Cartier launched the Must de Cartier line. These Tanks were powered by more affordable quartz or mechanical ETA calibers and the cases were plated silver, rather than 18k gold. The Tank Americaine was launched in the late 1980’s. The elongated and curved shape was reminiscent of the Cintrée, but a little less delicate in form. The more angular, modern Tank Francaise was added to the collection in 1995. More niche variants such as the Tank Chinoise and the odd “digital” Tank a Guichet are available for those with a taste for something different.

The Cartier Tank has always been a celebrity favorite. Iconic figures such as Andy Warhol, Muhammad Ali and Jackie Kennedy wore Tanks. Jackie Kennedy’s specific watch was later acquired by Kim Kardashian for a whopping $395.000,- at auction. Today, you might spot a Tank Francaise on the Dutch Queen Maxima’s wrist.

The Cartier Tank is surely one of the most iconic watch designs out there. You can easily put it side-by-side with the Rolex Submariner and AP Royal Oak as one of those genre-defining designs. It is tempting to throw the term iconic around in the watch world, but it is justified here beyond a shadow of a doubt.
