History
What people do agree on is that Cartier produced the original Tank wrist watch specifically in honor of military tanks from World War I. There exists a bit of disagreement whether it was the entire tank shape or just the treads, and what country's tanks influenced the design. Nevertheless, Cartier has covered all its bases, with Tank models being named in honor of America, England, and France with the Tank Americaine, Tank Anglaise, and of course the famous Tank Francaise.The Dial
Cartier Tank MC steel watch replica ref. W5330003 has blue steels against a silvered face, this Cartier Tank MC steel black-colored watch replica ref. W5330004 has steel hands. While I like how the dial tone is a deeper color that matches the black alligator strap, I prefer the more traditional Cartier-style dials which tend to be lighter and more legible against the hands. All of the Cartier Tank MC watches replicas have blue sapphire crystal cabochons in the crown.The Case
At 34.3mm wide by 44mm tall (and 9.5mm thick) the rectangular-cased Cartier Tank MC replica does not come across as a large watch on paper. Nevertheless, it wears comfortably as a dress watch, with a lot of classic Cartier character. Unlike some other Tank watches fake, these Cartier Tank MC models have brushed sections above the strap between the lugs and richly polished (and rather thick) side flanks.Movement
The specific movement inside of the Cartier Tank MC men's watch fake is the caliber 1904-PS MC. This automatic movement operates at 4 Hz and includes the time with a subsidiary second dial and the date. It makes for a more interesting dial-layout than most traditional three-hand Tank watches, but one could argue that the layout isn’t as elegant. The dial comes complete with a full scale of Cartier-style Roman numeral hour indicators and thin sword-shaped hands.One of the major differences between a Tank and a Tank MC collection watch is the display caseback. Cartier watches without in-house made movements aren’t known for having sapphire crystal display casebacks. Part of the allure of having a mechanical watch is being able to see the movement through a window in the rear of the case.
