Q: What defines the Cartier Tank Française Ref. 2384? A: The Tank Française was designed as a modern evolution of the classic Tank, featuring a curved case that integrates seamlessly into the bracelet to mimic the continuous tread of a tank. This specific Small model (20mm) from circa 2010 is crafted in stainless steel and features the signature cream dial with Roman numerals and blued-steel sword-shaped hands.
Q: Is this watch automatic or quartz? A: This reference is powered by a reliable Cartier quartz movement. This offers precise timekeeping and convenience, as it does not require daily winding. The battery typically lasts between 2 to 3 years before needing replacement.
Q: Will the watch fit my wrist? A: This timepiece is sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 17cm. This measurement includes the 4 extra links that come with the watch, allowing for adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit.
Q: Does it feature a scratch-resistant crystal? A: Yes, the watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches. This ensures that the dial remains clear and legible over time.
Q: Is it water-resistant? A: The watch was originally water-resistant to 30 metres. However, given its age (circa 2010), we cannot guarantee the integrity of the seals without a current pressure test. We advise treating the watch as splash-resistant only and avoiding submersion in water.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: This watch is in Very Good condition. It displays light traces of use, including some surface scratches on the bracelet and case, which are normal for a pre-owned watch of this vintage.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This listing includes the watch, its original box, and 4 extra bracelet links. Please note that the original papers are not included, but the item is fully authenticated by our experts.
Q: Is there a warranty? A: Yes, A Retro Tale provides a 12-month warranty on the movement’s mechanical function to ensure your peace of mind. We also guarantee the authenticity of every item we sell.
