Cartier Tank a Vis Watches
0 MATCHES FOUND
The Cartier Tank a Vis watch has a bold, industrial-inspired design that features exposed screws that celebrate Cartier's mastery of both form and function. This distinctive feature combined with the signature rectangular case, creates a watch that appeals to those who value architectural precision and timeless luxury. Inspired by early 20th century Tank designs, Cartier Tank a Vis watches are perfect for collectors and style aficionados who appreciate their avant-garde elegance and historical significance.
The Cartier Tank a Vis watches pay homage to one of Cartier's most celebrated designs, evolving from the original Tank series introduced in 1917. This model, with its distinctive rectangular shape and visible screws on the bezel, exudes a mechanical term that harkens back to the precision of industrial engineering. Introduced in 2001 as part of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP), the Tank a Vis incorporates signature Tank elements with a raised bezel, sloping lugs, and four exposed screws, hence its name “à Vis” which is French for “with screws”.
Cartier has always excelled in blending tradition with innovation and the Tank a Vis is no exception. Featuring precise movements and intricate craftsmanship, this timepiece offers both reliability and aesthetic appeal that make it a coveted choice for Cartier enthusiasts. Equipped with a mechanical movement, and inspired by the French maison's archival designs (particularly the Tank Etanché from 1931), the Tank a Vis formed a unique niche within the larger Tank watches collection.
At SwissWatchExpo, we are proud to offer a curated selection of Cartier Tank a Vis Watches, including rare vintage models and contemporary styles. Blending heritage-focused design, haute horology movements, and innate French elegance, the Cartier Tank a Vis has it all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Cartier Tank a Vis Hold Its Value?
As part of the CPCP range, the Cartier Tank a Vis was produced in very limited numbers, at times up to only 100-150 per model.
With its charm and rarity, as well as sustained interest in vintage watches, it is particularly coveted by collectors. Other unique factors such as its unique case design and Piaget-based movement, raises its profile in the vintage watch market, thus it is likely to hold its value in years to come.
Is the Cartier Tank a Vis Waterproof?
The Cartier Tank a Vis is water resistant to 30 meters or 100 feet, which protects it from splashes, particularly from handwashing or the rain. With this level of water resistance, it must not be submerged in water, such as when swimming or playing water sports.
It is also important to note that a watch's water resistance is not permanent; it can be reduced by the aging of gaskets and overall wear over time. Vintage watches like the Cartier Tank a Vis should also be sent for maintenance every two to three years to maintain their performance.
Is the Cartier Tank a Vis Discontinued?
The Cartier Tank a Vis was produced within the Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) line, which was discontinued in 2008. Cartier Tank a Vis watches can still be sourced in the secondary watch market, such as SwissWatchExpo.
