Specialist note

The present watch features a dial that is quite unusual on Tank models. This dial gives a whole new dimension to the watch that remains a classic through the shape of the case but with a hint of sophistication with a dial that perfectly combines a mix of straight roman numerals and radial baton numerals with each style laid on a different surface finishing.
