Cartier Tank Obus (Ref. 16302)
A masterpiece of geometric beauty, known to connoisseurs
Among Cartier's iconic "Tank" series, the "Tank Obus" stands out with its unique and intellectual character. This model, which inherits the spirit of the original model born in the 1920s and is equipped with a modern quartz movement, combines vintage charm with everyday convenience.
【The essence of the design: bullet-shaped lugs】
Its greatest appeal is the **distinctive lug design reminiscent of a "bullet (obus)"**, which is also the origin of the model's name. The lugs, protruding in four directions from the square case, create a geometric yet graceful silhouette. It sets itself apart from other Tank series models with its structural and modern beauty that accentuates the wrist.
