Cartier · Family: Tank Américaine
The Cartier Tank Américaine (ref. WSTA0083), large model, is an elongated-case watch measuring 44.4 x 24.4mm in steel, with an automatic mechanical movement. It runs Caliber 1847 MC, built in-house by Cartier, with 40 hours of power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations yet (n=0). Its differential: the faceted crown, set with a synthetic blue spinel, and a 3-bar water resistance rating typical of a pure dress watch.

The Tank family was born in 1917, when Louis Cartier designed the first Tank inspired by the aerial view of Allied tanks in World War I — hence the name — with its signature rectangular case and vertical lugs continuing the line of the caseband, an origin widely documented in the maison's historiography. The Tank Américaine arrived decades later as its own variant within that family, with an elongated, curved-profile case that follows the wrist, distinct from the stricter rectangle of the Tank Louis Cartier or Tank Solo.
Reference WSTA0083 is the current Tank Américaine's large model, with a 44.4 x 24.4mm stainless-steel case, 8.6mm thick. The crown, faceted and set with a synthetic blue spinel, is one of the maison's most recognizable identity details, present across several Tank family executions.
Beneath the silvered, satin-brushed dial, with blued-steel sword-shaped hands, sits Caliber 1847 MC, an automatic mechanical movement built entirely in-house by Cartier, delivering 40 hours of power reserve at a 4Hz frequency.
The strap, in semi-matte navy blue alligator leather at 18mm, closes with a steel folding buckle. At 3 bar (~30 meters) water resistance, this reference stays true to its dress-watch character, with no pretense of sport-tool functionality.
This is the ninth Cartier reference Cazador adds, extending Tank family coverage — already present via the Tank Française, Tank Louis Cartier, Tank Solo, and Tank Must — to the Américaine variant.

The Américaine has an elongated, curved-profile case that follows the wrist, versus the stricter, flatter rectangle of the Tank Louis Cartier.
It runs Caliber 1847 MC, built entirely in-house by Cartier, an automatic mechanical movement with 40 hours of power reserve and 23 jewels.
No — it's rated to 3 bar (~30 meters), enough for occasional splashes, but it's a dress watch, not a sport tool.
