Tank Basculante
10 references22 variants1932–2000
Tank with a reversible case, launched in 1932: the watch head swings on pivots inside an outer frame, so the dial can be turned face-down for protection during sport, or stood half-open as a small desk clock. Made only in small numbers originally; revived in the 1990s and in the Collection Privée Cartier Paris.
