Unlike other watches in the Tank line, the Obus is square, not the rectangular shape that many collectors have come to expect. But the most distinctive element of this watch is the shape of the lugs, which look like tiny bullets affixed to the ends of the case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular Obus is housed in a 26mm yellow gold case with stunning red enamel Roman numerals and a matching red ruby cabochon crown. Take a close look and you might do a double-take — the numerals are actually part of the case’s bezel, rather than the dial! The dial itself is fairly small, a white square devoid of all decoration except for a pair of blued steel hands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFitted to a red crocodile leather strap with a matching gold 'Ardillon' pin buckle, this piece is powered by a quartz movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDating to the 1980s and issued by Cartier Paris, this is a stunning gem of a Tank destined for the discerning collector who wants something slightly left of center.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39628244877399,"sku":"40950061","price":11650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS05759_40950061_CARTIER_OBUS18KREDNUMERAL-6.jpg?v=1645221914","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/cartier-obus-as05759","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
