The new Cartier Tank 'Must' and the 'Tank Must SolarBeat' have both the same size

and they are a little larger than the famous and classic 'Tank Louis Cartier'.

This picture should give you a good idea of the new dimensions.

Thanks for the Comparo

Interesting sizing difference. Thanks for posting. During Valentine's Day 2020 the gift to my Muse / wife was a Tank Solo XL that has their auto-wind movement. She wears it more than I, yet there are times I wear it too.

Hi George, isn't the solarbeat not 33.7 mm and the classic LC 30 mm? In your very interesting article from troisanneaux 2 days ago you say it's 33.7 mm. Correct me if I'm wrong! Best, Bobbe

Oh my, thanks a lot, I made a typo, that I can't correct

Hopefully, the picture does the talking. The measurements in the article are correct. So the size should be 33.7 x 25.5 mm !
