Cartier Tank Must de Vermeil ‘Turtle Shell’ Brown Wood Dial PM – Circa 1980s

Now with original Cartier leather strap and Cartier vermeil buckle

A striking and elusive creation from Cartier’s golden age of artistic dial experimentation, this Tank Must de Vermeil PMstands out with its rare brown wood ‘turtle shell’ dial—a dial that reflects the maison’s bold creativity during the early 1980s. Now further elevated with its original Cartier leather bracelet and signed vermeil buckle, this piece exemplifies both collector-grade authenticity and timeless Parisian elegance.

Key Features

  • Case: 20mm x 28mm classic Tank-shaped case in gold-plated sterling silver (vermeil), with clean lines and a refined vintage profile.

  • Dial: Rare original brown wood 'turtle shell' dial—a shimmering and grain-rich pattern evoking natural depth and warmth.

  • Hands: Signature gold-tone sword hands, elegant and legible, enhancing the harmony of the warm-toned dial.

  • Movement: Manual-wind Cartier Caliber 78-1, recently serviced and running flawlessly.

  • Strap & Buckle: Now offered on the original Cartier brown leather strap with a genuine Cartier vermeil buckle, further reinforcing its provenance and collector appeal.

Condition Report

This vintage Cartier Tank Must is in very good original condition:

  • The vermeil case retains its soft, warm luster with sharp edges and minimal signs of wear.

  • The wood dial is pristine, with only small cracks or discoloration—rare for a piece of this era.

  • The manual movement has been recently serviced and is keeping accurate time.

  • The original Cartier strap remains in excellent condition, lightly handled, and pairs naturally with the richness of the dial.

  • The signed Cartier buckle is unpolished and well-preserved, completing the authentic ensemble.

Why Collectors Love It

Cartier’s Tank Must collection introduced a range of creative dial treatments in the 1970s and 1980s, but few have captured attention quite like the ‘turtle shell’ wood dial—both rare and elegant. The addition of the original Cartier strap and buckle transforms this piece from beautiful to museum-worthy.

Whether you're an admirer of Cartier’s design heritage or a seasoned vintage watch collector, this Tank offers a rare combination of aesthetic charm, mechanical integrity, and complete Cartier originality.

Authentic
Color: Black, Color: Black
This machine is amazing. We just returned from Italy and this is as close to a cafe as you can get. It leaves a dense foam on top from the high pressure water system making truly authentic. It is easy to use and clean!! I loved the size too as it fits perfectly on our shelf. Highly recommend if you want an italian cafe to enjoy!

Bargain Espresso Machine Works Great
Color: Silver
Great espresso machine, and a bargain at only $100! Pulls perfect shots with a generous amount of crema. And, it comes with a high-quality tamper. Tips: When you first turn it on, remember to run the steam wand for a couple seconds to prime the system. Test/experiment with the grind to get it just right--40 seconds with my blade grinder is working for me.

Great Espresso Machine for Beginners
Color: Silver
Update: Milk teamer doesn't deliver the foam like at the first couple of days, and the espresso doesn't come with the crema any longer. Somehow the pressure goes above the espresso range, and I tried to decrease the amount of coffee, and no results. I am so disappointed. First thing that impressed me about this little espresso machine is how easy it to use. You can make a double espresso shot in literarily 1 minute. Second thing is size, the machine is pretty compact that you can place it anywhere in the kitchen without worrying about taking too much space. Also, it heats up quick, and the options are straightforward. The water tank is just the perfect size, which is excellent for me, and I don't have to refill water constantly. Performance-wise, it feels solid and does an excellent job making shots like what you'd expect in a cafe. The water pressure is just right, delivering this espresso shot without the extra acidity. The flowmeter regulates the water evenly which is great in making that creamy espresso. Something else to note, it's small and also quiet, which is big to me since the last one was making unnecessary noise every time I make a shot. Now, the milk frother is pretty decent, and create that foam you'd love to see in your cappuccino and latte. Overall, this is a pretty decent choice, and feels durable.
