Description:
Experience a refined blend of engineering and elegance with the Cartier Tank Basculante Ref. 2390 — a rare and iconic reinterpretation of the classic Tank. Introduced in the late 1990s, the Basculante features a unique reversible case mechanism that allows the dial to flip within its frame, both protecting the crystal and showcasing Cartier’s ingenuity. Crafted in polished stainless steel and powered by an ultra-thin manual-wind movement (Frédéric Piguet cal. 6.10), this timepiece offers understated sophistication with its silver guilloché dial, bold Roman numerals, and signature blued steel hands.
This model measures 25mm x 38mm, making it a perfect unisex size that wears comfortably on the wrist. Completing the look is a luxurious black leather strap and a steel pin buckle, while a blue cabochon crown detail adds the unmistakable Cartier touch. Discontinued and increasingly sought after by collectors, the Ref. 2390 Basculante is a standout piece for those who appreciate classic design with a mechanical twist — a true conversation starter from the maison that defined timeless luxury.
