Cartier Tank Normale Ref. 78093 Paris Dial – 18K Yellow Gold PM, 1970s – Iconic Elegance in Period-Correct Form

We are delighted to offer this exceptional Cartier Tank Normale, Ref. 78093, dating to the 1970s—an exquisite example of Parisian design refinement and timeless horological elegance. Dressed in warm 18K yellow gold and featuring the rare and sought-after “Paris” signed dial, this piece encapsulates everything collectors revere about vintage Cartier: minimalism, geometry, and quiet prestige.

Heritage & Design

First introduced by Louis Cartier in 1917 and inspired by the Renault tanks of WWI, the Tank Normale remains the original and purest expression of the Tank line. This rare 1970s reference 78093 is a standout variant, crafted in the Petite Modèle (PM) case with elegantly compact proportions in 18K yellow gold—a warm tone that beautifully complements the crisp white dial and blued steel accents with flawless symmetry.

What sets this example apart is its Paris-signed dial, a signature indicating it was retailed directly from Cartier’s iconic Rue de la Paix boutique—a highly desirable marker among serious collectors. The original faceted sapphire cabochon crown, blue steel sword hands, and authentic dial composition further elevate this piece into collector-grade territory.

Features & Condition

Dial: Original white lacquer “Paris” signed dial with visible hairline cracks consistent with age, yet retaining its vintage charm and legibility. The Roman numerals and inner chemin-de-fer minute track remain crisp and well-preserved.
Case: 18K yellow gold rectangular Tank case, carefully polished while retaining its original edges and hallmarks—showing thoughtful preservation.
Movement: Cartier Caliber 78-1, manual-winding, freshly serviced and running with strong amplitude. Backed by a 1-year mechanical warranty for peace of mind.
Crown: Original faceted blue sapphire cabochon crown, untarnished and richly colored.
Hands: Factory original blued steel sword hands, maintaining their deep blue hue under light.
Strap & Clasp: Hand-made in Belgium leather strap fitted with a Cartier vermeil gold-plated pin buckle, combining period-correct elegance with comfort.

Why Collect This Watch?

Whether you’re a seasoned Cartier enthusiast or a new admirer of vintage elegance, this 1970s Tank offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a true piece of horological heritage.

Nice shirt, great price
Size: Large, Color: Royal Blue
Very nice shirt. Has a soft, flowy (?) hand to it. Not starchy like a lot of oxford button-down collar shirts. Second one I’ve bought. Nice

Great shirts.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I have 10. These are great, stylish shirts especially for the price. I usually wear between size L-XL slim fit (Banana Republic). I’m 6’ 200 lbs medium athletic build and L fits perfectly. With a quick press, they do not wrinkle easily. I get plenty of compliments.

Runs large, not slim fit
Size: Medium, Color: Green
The shirt definitely runs large like all the other reviews say. I usually wear a large, but the medium fit much better. The shirt is definitely not slim fit though.

Great fit and look
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Husband loved it! Great fit and he said it was comfortable. Can be worn untucked or tucked in pants. He wore it with jeans and a blazer untucked for a graduation party and looked perfect for the occasion.

Tight in Chest for Broad Chested Men
Size: XX-Large, Color: Green
Quality is okay but not great. The biggest problem was the size. It was too tight for my broad chest. Ended up giving it away. I bought some similar shirts from a different supplier that I didn’t have issues with.
