The Cartier Tank Solo XL (Reference W5200027) balances the historical Art Deco design of the Tank silhouette with a contemporary, larger profile and the mechanical convenience of an automatic winding caliber. Originally introduced in 2012, this reference serves as a popular, historically accessible entry point to Cartier’s mechanical lineup before being succeeded by the Tank Must collection.

• Case Dimensions: 31.0 mm width x 40.85 mm length (lug-to-lug) with a thin profile of approximately 7.65 mm.

• Dial: Silvered opaline dial featuring crisp black Roman numeral hour markers, an inner rail-track minute counter, and a hidden Cartier signature integrated within the "VII" numeral.
