FAQs

A tank watch is characterised by its rectangular case, often featuring vertical brancards that integrate the strap lugs, a design originating during the early 20th century.

Watch cases from this era were commonly constructed from stainless steel, chrome-plated base metals, or solid gold, paired with leather straps and acrylic crystals.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the hallmark stamps, matching serial numbers on the case and movement, and inspecting the calibre for manufacturer signatures.

This style pairs effortlessly with tailored suits or smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle, sophisticated accessory that complements minimalist aesthetics.

Vintage mechanical watches require regular professional servicing, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding to ensure longevity.
