The Cartier Tank Française, launched in 1996, was a contemporary reinterpretation of the brand’s historic Tank design, first created in 1917. Distinguished by its integrated metal bracelet and gently curved case flanks, it departed from the earlier leather-strap Tanks while retaining the architectural geometry inspired by the form of First World War Renault tanks. The reference 2384 is the smaller stainless steel quartz model, measuring approximately 20 × 25 mm, and the diamond-set version combines the clean lines of the Française with Cartier’s long-standing tradition of gem-set watchmaking. This pairing of horology and jewellery reflects the maison’s early 20th-century ethos, when decorative refinement was considered as essential as mechanical precision.
In this form, the Tank Française becomes both an elegant timepiece and a statement jewel, with its diamond bezel framing the classic silvered dial, black Roman numerals, and blued steel hands. The sapphire cabochon crown, a signature of Cartier watches for over a century, adds another layer of visual continuity with earlier models. Powered by a precise and low-maintenance quartz movement, the 2384 offers practicality without compromising on heritage. Over the past three decades, the diamond-set Tank Française has remained a symbol of understated luxury, worn by notable figures and admired by collectors as part of a lineage that has secured the Tank’s place among the most enduring watch designs of the modern era.
