The Tank WGTA0011, seen from the bench

The Tank Louis Cartier Large is a manual-winding watch with a 25.5mm rose gold case and integrated lugs, inspired by French tanks observed during World War I. Part of Cartier's iconic geometric Art Deco collection, this model combines refined proportions with classic elegance. The timepiece represents over a century of watchmaking heritage.

Frequently asked questions

Can you fit a standard strap to the Cartier Tank WGTA0011?

No, the bracelet is integrated into the case: there is no lug where a standard strap could be attached. The only option is custom work made directly onto the case. I craft it specifically for this model in the workshop, shaping the attachments by hand so they fit the Tank's geometry perfectly.

How does the made-to-measure strap work for the Cartier Tank?

Contact <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> to book an appointment. I take measurements directly from the watch in hand, measuring the integrated lugs and the rectangular case geometry. Everything happens in the workshop on Via XX Settembre 15 in Milan—no shortcuts.

Which leather do you recommend for this model?

I prefer Mississippi Alligator in Bordeaux or Rosa Antico Swift. With rose gold of this calibre, the leather must speak elegance without competing. These hides age beautifully and naturally complement the warmth of gold, creating the harmony the Tank deserves.

How long does a well-made strap last?

With quality leather and ordinary care, 6–8 years of daily wear. It depends on your wrist, climate, how well you protect it from water. Leather ages: colour shifts, a patina develops. That is not deterioration, it is history. When needed, we restore it.

Why does rose gold Tank require a tailored approach?

The Tank is pure architecture, designed by Louis Cartier in 1917 watching tanks from above. Every millimetre is intentional. A strap fitted carelessly to the integrated lugs betrays that geometry. Made-to-measure, the craftsman respects every curve of the case and creates a coherent whole.

The next step

The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
