Finally I got my Solarbeat Tank 👌🏽

Finally I managed to get my hands on Cartier Solarbeat tank large. Thankfully to my AD the managed to order it for me in less than 10 days with a great price too. So excited to have it and can’t wait to pair it with steel bracelet.

lovely piece. but a Tank belongs on a strap, with a metal bracelet the case shape would get lost in all the metal. So try it first on the fake leather ;)

Cartier is just iconic - Solarbeat tank and Santos are my favourites ✔

Congrats to your new watch. Great photo as well. And I agree with @Pascal , keep in on a strap.

Thanks, sure will

So great! ❤ Congrats!  I cannot wait to get a Tank!

·

I’m still confuse d about the status of the Solarbeat. Last I checked, it was not even listed on Cartier’s website. Is it really available now?

·

Congratulations ! I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it after you've had a chance to wear it for a while, as it's a watch that I have on my radar.

·

Congrats. I got mine 2 days ago from an AD too.. loving it, but the strap seems a bit short. I am still getting used to the size.. Large is small in Cartier’s world. My wife asked why I bought a ladies watch 😅?

·

Very classy!🎯

Congratulations and welcome to the #cartier fam! 😊

Been wearing it for the second day and I can’t stop starring at it 😅

That's great to hear!  I'd really like to see some wrist shots. The closest Cartier AD is several hundred miles away, so it's not practical for me to get to try one on, and I'm not sure if it would be appropriately sized for my 17cm wrist.

Congrats to you too. I totally agree with you with regard to the strap. My wrist size is around 6.5 inch more or less and I use the strap hole before the last one. Large is medium in Cartier as it is 33.7mm a bit toward to small side but it is a classic 👌🏽

It is not small when I compare it to the JLC reverso, but the first impression is ‘‘this watch Is small’, but it is just magical when I put it on…

Wow. Congrats man. Less than 10 days?! Here in Canada, we’ve been waiting since last August. Hope that’s a sign that Cartier are delivering them

Thanks man, yeah I guess it is a sign that they started delivering them as they told me they recieve a couple of pieces each week.

wow fits perfectly. 

Great choice.

Great looking watch.

Intrigued by the solar beat technology, it seems different some of the other solar battery charged systems like eco-drive. Capacitor holds the charge. 
Anybody have the answer to any of these question:

  1. How long until the watch stops if put away from light
  2. What is the service interval like and can just the capacitor be swapped out or is it closer to a new movement.

Congrats!  I’m really impressed with this watch, from design to execution. I never would have figured Cartier would try for a solar-powered watch, and when I saw the headlines I thought, “what are they thinking?!”.  But when I dug into the details, I appreciated that it wasn‘t just faithful to the Cartier aesthetic, it looks indistinguishable from any ‘normal‘ release from the brand. It’s at once completely at home with the rest of the brand’s history and also a very interesting new direction. I happen to think it doesn’t look great on my own wrist, but I still love the watch and look forward to what Cartier might do next along these lines.
