Worn by a century of public figures, the Tank has never left the house's catalogue — only its variations have succeeded one another. The Solo was its entry-level version from 2004 until its discontinuation, replaced by the Tank Must.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the Tank Solo no longer produced?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCartier removed the Solo from its catalogue to replace it with the Tank Must, as part of a repositioning of its range. The consequence for the buyer is simple: the Solo now exists only on the pre-owned market, and the steel configuration on a steel bracelet, the most sought-after for everyday wear, is becoming scarcer. A discontinued reference of a century-old design is rarely a poor choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the bracelet be adjusted to my size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes: the original steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing links for a wrist size of up to 17.5cm maximum. Let us know your wrist size before purchase — we deliver the watch ready to wear, and the removed links are supplied to you with the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the crown bear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA synthetic blue spinel — the stone that Cartier sets on the crowns of its steel lines, echoing the sapphire of its high-end collections. It has been a house signature for a century: the touch of blue on the side of the case, which here mirrors the blued hands on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 24.5mm wide, 31mm Lug-to-lug, and 5.6mm thick, it suits wrists of approximately 14.5 to 17.5cm, with the bracelet adjustable by removing links — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. It is the intermediate size of the line, worn by both: the Tank is read in height on the wrist, not in width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52927367545169,"sku":"3170 538035XX","price":3255.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_07274.jpg?v=1788709734","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/cartier-tank-solo-medium-watch-3170-steel-on-steel-2000s","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
