Handsome and classic, the Tank Basculante was first launched in 1933 and caters to athletes who need to protect their watch's dial during games. Unlike the Reverso which the watch can rotate at a horizontal axis, the Tank Basculante can be flipped vertically as desired. A timepiece representing modernity through its innovative construction, the present watch part of a limited edition of 150 pieces only, remains to be one of Cartier's most popular designs of the century.
