Cartier Launched Cartier Tank Cintrée 100th Anniversary Watch Replica

Recently, Cartier quietly announced a new Cartier Tank Cintrée 100th Anniversary watch replica. Well, it's not brand new, and it's definitely not "announced". To celebrate the watch's 100th anniversary, images of the new limited edition Cartier Tank Cintrée replica began circulating on Instagram among a tight-knit circle of devoted Cartier collectors.

The Case

The Cartier Tank Cintrée anniversary watch replica is almost identical in size to the 1921 original, every so slightly longer but also slimmer. The new model is made of 18-carat yellow gold and measures 46.30 mm long, 23 mm wide and 6.40 mm thick. In keeping with tradition, the crown is also decorated with a sapphire cabochon. At once classic and modern, the watch is a testament to the vision and design talent of Louis Cartier one hundred years ago.

The Dial

Similarly, the dial is almost a spot-on reproduction of the original. Finished in a parchment colour with a grained surface, the dial captures the look of a vintage original after a century’s worth of patina. The beige dial is adorned with Roman numerals, an orbital minute circle and Breguet blued steel hands. Compared to the three replica Tank Cintrée models released in 2018, the "Swiss Made" inscription at 6 o'clock has been removed from the new model, in addition to the Roman hour markers and Breguet hands. 

The feel of the original is also captured in the details of the dial, including the wider minute track, the delicate serifs of the Roman numerals, and the form of the Breguet hands.

That said, the anniversary edition is clearly a modern Cartier watch replica. All with all vintage remakes, the watch looks shiny and new. And the same can be said for the details; the dial print is higher and glossier than on a vintage original.

The Movement

Because the case of the anniversary edition replica is identical to that of the 2005 model, the movement is necessarily identical. It’s the 9780 MC, an calibre that is actually the JLC cal. 849, the ultra-thin calibre found in many JLC models over the years, including the Master Ultra-Thin Kingsman Knife watch. The movement is just 1.85 mm high, while also several decades old, explaining its short, 36-hour power reserve.
