Overview
The Cartier Tank Française Small (ref. WSTA0065) is a stainless steel dress watch measuring 25.7 × 21.2 mm, powered by a high-autonomy quartz movement. Its silvered sunray dial is dressed with Roman numerals in the enduring Cartier tradition, making it one of the most legible and elegant expressions of the Tank Française line. Introduced in 2023, it represents the current generation of a silhouette that has defined Cartier's integrated-bracelet aesthetic for decades.
History
The Tank Française debuted in the 1990s as a bold evolution of the original Tank, distinguished by its integrated link bracelet that flows seamlessly from the case — a departure from the more classical Tank Louis and Tank Solo. The small-case variant has long served collectors and wearers who prefer a more discreet proportion while retaining the full visual vocabulary of the line. The 2023 reissue of the small reference, catalogued as WSTA0065, continues this tradition in polished stainless steel with updated movement specifications. It sits comfortably within Cartier's broader effort to refresh the Tank Française family for contemporary tastes.
