A Tank watch is a type of wristwatch that was popularized by Louis Cartier in 1917. The name originates from its rectangular shape, which is said to resemble a tank. It is characterized by a thin, rectangular case with a prominent winding crown at the 12 o’clock position, often featuring a textured design on the case. Tank watches typically have a classic, timeless look and are often considered classic dress watches. They are usually made from stainless steel, gold, or a combination of the two, and feature a variety of dials, hands, and complications.
