专家说明

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

Launched in 1921, the Tank Cintrée model was a variant of the original Tank. The curved shape was derived from the firm's tonneau series, made to fit around a wrist, the widened sides with the sharp edges and screwed lugs from the 1919 Tank. The elongated dial was visually enlarged and softened by the rounded chapter ring. The model was available in three different sizes.

The present watch is from the largest version, the "Grande Tank Cintrée" series, fitted with a cal. 9''' movement.
