The Tank Française Yearling had a small window...

I have the time/date version which was available during a one year period around 2003/2004 ...

36.5 x 30 mm case on an alligator strap and deployant buckle.

It's often described as the Tank Française Yearling XXL.

Sold out in Tokyo, I first spotted the XXL at a Cartier Boutique in Hawaii and finally sourced one from a connection in France...

It only comes out on special occasions as I normally wear a casual sports-ish watch.

Thanks for looking,
Casey

Fairly rare. I never understood why Cartier did not re release this model, when the Tank Francaise was re introduced as a ladies model only. GEO

New it was very reasonably-priced...

I guess they wanted to promote their larger men's watches which started to come out a couple of years later... maybe the XXL was just testing the waters - size wise. A good friend has the lady's combi Tank Francaise and I have always like the shape so whe...
