Cartier Tank Must Blue “Cordes de Marseille” Large Stainless Steel – WSTA0055

The Cartier Tank Must Blue WSTA0055 “Cordes de Marseille” is a modern reinterpretation of one of Cartier’s most iconic watch lines, fusing the clean geometry of Louis Cartier’s 1917 Tank design with a strikingly minimalist deep blue lacquered dial. This special “Cordes de Marseille” edition is part of Cartier’s recent revival of the Tank Must collection, and it celebrates both the maison’s Parisian heritage and its contemporary design language.

This special “Cordes de Marseille” edition embraces the simplicity of pure form, with its solid blue dial acting as a bold statement of elegance and restraint. The absence of hour markers shifts focus entirely to the perfect symmetry of the rectangular case and the lustrous depth of the lacquer. The beaded crown with blue cabochon is a signature Cartier flourish, instantly recognizable to collectors.

The case follows Louis Cartier’s original vision from 1917, where vertical brancards (sidebars) blend seamlessly into the strap lugs, preserving the Tank’s hallmark proportion and balance. This geometry, combined with the cool steel and the vivid blue creates a watch that is at once understated and unmistakably luxurious.
