The "Must de Tank" was born in the 1970s as a diffusion line of the iconic Tank collection, and its name, derived from the English word "must" to mean a "must-have" item, reflects the luxury maintained through its signature vermeil case.

Vermeil is a technique often seen in antique jewelry where a 20-micron layer of 18K gold is bonded to a solid sterling silver (925) base using high temperature and pressure, and because it uses a silver base with an exceptionally thick gold coating, it offers a much more premium feel compared to standard gold plating.

The case size measures 20.5mm in width and 28mm in height, which was the standard ladies' size of that era and offers a slightly more compact silhouette than modern ladies' models.

While the Must Tank comes in many dial variations, this watch features the most classic and popular ivory Roman dial, where the perfectly balanced Roman numeral indices and blue steel hands stand as true brand icons.

This model is equipped with a quartz movement, making it convenient for daily use as it requires no time adjustment even after periods of inactivity.

For those purchasing a vintage watch for the first time, we recommend this quartz model as maintenance costs can be kept relatively low.
