No, it’s not a Tank. And yes, it deserves your attention!

While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank watch, the French firm produced — and continues to produce — numerous other watch models that deserve equal billing for their unique and sumptuous designs. 

In the 2010s, Cartier released the “Croisiere” Cruise Collection within the Ronde de Cartier line. Aimed at the jet-setting traveler who needs a timepiece that’s equally at home on the water as it is out for drink, the Cruise watches combine Cartier’s sense of Parisian elegance with the sportiness of a large, contemporary timepiece.

This particular Cartier Ronde Croisiere Reference WSRN0002 features a 42mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, a black cabochon crown, a polished, quarter-numbered bezel, a sunburst silver and guilloché dial with Roman numerals, skeleton sword and lollipop hands, and a subtle black leather strap with Cartier deployant clasp. Showing only normal wear throughout, it comes with its inner box, papers, and warranty card dating to the 2010s. 

Want to dip your toe into the Cartier world without purchasing a Tank like everybody else? Then this is the watch for you!
