1 year on the wrist with the Cartier Tank

Hello everybody, welcome to my KZfaq channel!
My name is Aleks and in this video I give you my thoughts on the 2021 Cartier Tank Must with burgundy dial (WSTA0054) after been wearing it for almost 1 year.
I talk a bit about the history of the Cartier Tank especially the Must de Cartier-line of the Tanks and also why I bought this specific reference that was introduced last year.
I give you my two cents on what I like and dislike about the watch and why it has been on my wrist for 80% of the time during the course of one year.

Quartz movements are alright with any Tank, because there's no Seconds hand to give it away, and in an all stainless steel case it's far more tasteful than gold-dipped, gold-filled whatever cases. However; I did like their older more script style logo than the sterile, "modern" block letter version they use now. The SEIKO Tank is a wonderful alternative and also well executed.

Glad to hear I am not the only one finding the default straps to be a let down, both in look and wearing comfort. Much better combo with a contrasting strap colour too!

Great review! Just got a Tank Must with the roman numeral dial. I was originally looking for the Solarbeat (which is amazing) but settled for the standard High Autonomy Quartz since it still lasts 8 yrs. Enjoy!

Great video. I bend the strap near the lugs a little bit and then again half way in order to make it look like an oval shape once you put it on, then sleep with it and repeat for a few days. I’ve got three of these and it works like a charm every time,mind you I’m very gentle when bending it. I hope this helps, Good luck.

Hello Aleks, thanks for the content. I did not like tthis release until you showed it with a black band. It is just so beautiful how you have presented it, the band gives some gap with the watch and it looks better. The red band from Cartier is indeed too thick for the watch. i will like to know how it looks on glossy lizard. Another video will be great

First time watching your channel. Would love to see you grow in the future, so will be subbing. Brilliant review - I'm viewing a Must in a few weeks. I have a Santos de Cartier as my only timepiece made by Cartier, but I've always loved my Santos. I wore it only on a few occasions. I found that the polished metal face of the case would get pretty scratched, even with minimal wear. I assume from the video that the Must also gets easily scratched?

Regarding the caseback, I don't think the screwdown back is necessarily cost cutting. The alternative pressfit backs looks great to start, but after a few battery changes they can get pretty marred by inexperienced "watchmakers" prying them off with a knife to change the battery. I prefer a screwdown back as long as the screws are recessed (cough... Casio...).

Interesting to hear your review. What I like about this one compared to the Tank Solo is that the size and shape are the same as the Tank Louis. The new Tank Must has a hefty price tag (£2660 as of Feb 2023). I think this is really down to the icon status. If one wanted a different Cartier model plus an automatic movement, the the Santos Galbée or Tank Française can be good options on the secondary market (for around this price, although I think prices are going up now).

@AleksWatches Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Bjoern! I agree, since the list price is up quite a bit since the re-launch of the Must there are for sure alternatives out there that ”makes more sense” at the moment

@tendrams Жыл бұрын

The caseback on this watch is one difference between the Must and LC models. The LC models have casebacks that are secured from the sides. Clearly the latter is more complex and costly to produce. For Sub-$3000, I would have no beef with the Must caseback.

What are your thoughts on this model not having any hour and minute markers? I’m very tempted to get the black Must, but as minimal as it is, it can be difficult to tell the time. I’m coming from the blue Reverso Tribute Duoface and what I enjoy about it is the shiny hour markers in angles. You can also see the markers shine in dim lighting. I’m still debating on whether to get either the sleek looking black Tank or the standard Must silver dial.

@AleksWatches Жыл бұрын

To be completely honest I don’t set my watches exactly. Usually 1-2 minutes ahead.. so not really an issue for me Both nice options so basically a matter of preference dark/light dial. Silver more classic Cartier

19mm for the Tank

@maxfaberg128 Жыл бұрын

You know I'm still fighting the 25,5mm case. Not that I find it in itself too big on the wrist, nor I'm nerdy about "how the traditional Cartier should be" but my critique is aesthetically: The problem with the 25,5mm case is that the watch comes with a lug width of 19mm and that's my problem. This is too much "leather" surface on my wrist when wearing a Tank. The strap is just too thick, IMO It makes it look a little bit obscene.
