Cartier Tank Must de Vermeil ‘Turtle Shell’ Brown Wood Dial PM – Circa 1980s

Now with original Cartier leather strap and Cartier vermeil buckle

A striking and elusive creation from Cartier’s golden age of artistic dial experimentation, this Tank Must de Vermeil PMstands out with its rare brown wood ‘turtle shell’ dial—a dial that reflects the maison’s bold creativity during the early 1980s. Now further elevated with its original Cartier leather bracelet and signed vermeil buckle, this piece exemplifies both collector-grade authenticity and timeless Parisian elegance.

Key Features

  • Case: 20mm x 28mm classic Tank-shaped case in gold-plated sterling silver (vermeil), with clean lines and a refined vintage profile.

  • Dial: Rare original brown wood 'turtle shell' dial—a shimmering and grain-rich pattern evoking natural depth and warmth.

  • Hands: Signature gold-tone sword hands, elegant and legible, enhancing the harmony of the warm-toned dial.

  • Movement: Manual-wind Cartier Caliber 78-1, recently serviced and running flawlessly.

  • Strap & Buckle: Now offered on the original Cartier brown leather strap with a genuine Cartier vermeil buckle, further reinforcing its provenance and collector appeal.

Condition Report

This vintage Cartier Tank Must is in very good original condition:

  • The vermeil case retains its soft, warm luster with sharp edges and minimal signs of wear.

  • The wood dial is in fine condition, with only small cracks or discoloration at the edge —rare for a piece of this era.

  • The manual movement has been recently serviced and is keeping accurate time.

  • The original Cartier strap remains in excellent condition, lightly handled, and pairs naturally with the richness of the dial.

  • The signed Cartier buckle is unpolished and well-preserved, completing the authentic ensemble.

Why Collectors Love It

Cartier’s Tank Must collection introduced a range of creative dial treatments in the 1970s and 1980s, but few have captured attention quite like the ‘turtle shell’ wood dial—both rare and elegant. The addition of the original Cartier strap and buckle transforms this piece from beautiful to museum-worthy.

Whether you're an admirer of Cartier’s design heritage or a seasoned vintage watch collector, this Tank offers a rare combination of aesthetic charm, mechanical integrity, and complete Cartier originality.

Superior Design!
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
Delivery was lightning fast. I tried a pack of two pairs of these banana jacks as a sample to see if these would meet my needs. The design of these plugs is superior. The design was exactly what I wanted because the speaker wire is secured with TWO set screws. Then I ordered an additional six pairs of plugs to hook up my subwoofer to my amp and speakers. (I feed the audio output from the amp to the sub. The sub has a crossover that keeps the low frequencies and sends the mid and treble frequencies to my bookshelf speakers.) I love the security of two set screws on each plug and love the barrel that screws on AFTER the wire is secured by the set screws. Most banana plugs have a hole through the shaft of the plug that receives the stripped wire. Then the barrel cover is screwed down to secure the wire in the plug. This design compresses the speaker wire but eventually the cap loses it grip and allows the connection between the wire and the plug to become loose. Then the transfer of the audio signal becomes poor and the speakers sound bad. Every month or two I needed to check all the banana plugs and re-tighten many of them for the best performance. The two set screws eliminate this problem. The set screws are quite small and take a little extra care in installation. You will need a small flat blade screwdriver to tighten them. I used the 1/8" flat blade driver from a set of jewelers screwdrivers. These well made plugs are a bit pricier that many of the banana plugs available but certainly not the priciest plugs available. For me, the slightly higher price was more than offset by the security of the wire within the plug. I'm not thrilled with the extra tight fit of the tip on the plugs into the jacks. It took a lot of effort to insert the in the jack. Actually I "greased" the pins (very sparingly) with with non-corrosion, conductive paste (Ox-Gard, No-Corrode, etc. Do NOT use any other grease.) Next time I'll use pliers to compress the pin. My only quibbles are that the spring pins that go into the jack are very tight and that the plugs are only sold in quantities of two pairs or 12 pairs. I recommend these banana plugs for all who are using the banana plugs and jacks for hooking up your speakers. It's a very convenient way of connecting speakers if your speakers and amplifier have the banana jack as part of the binding post. Further, it's much safer to use banana plugs since the possibility of shorting your amplifier with a stray strand of wire is practically zero. Easy Five Stars.

Very easy to use
Size: 12 Pairs / 24 pcs
I have an Onkyo audio/video receiver along with an Emotiva amplifier. Both have speaker "post" terminals which will accept banana plugs, OR I can connect the speaker wires by unscrewing the posts, poke the speaker wires into the terminals and then tighten the posts. The problem with poking the wires into the terminals and tightening the posts vs using banana plugs is that there is a risk of the wires touching the metal on the back of the chassis or touching other speaker wires, causing a short if one is not careful. With banana plugs, they simply plug into the back/top of the posts, eliminating the rsick of a short circuit. They can also be unplugged very easily if needed. Banana plugs are DEFINITELY the preferred way to connect speakers to an receiver or amplifier if they have post-style terminals. These particular banana plugs came in a package of 12 I believe. They were very reasonably priced, and simple to connect to the end of the speaker wires. Simply unscrew the banana plugs, use a small, standard jewelry screwdriver and loosen both of the set screws, insert the speaker wire, then tighten the set screws, and then screw the banana plug back together. The plugs have either a red band which would typically be used for your "Right" speakers, or a black band which would typically be used for the "left" speakers. The banana plugs insert into the top or front of the speaker terminal posts on the amp and receiver. They fit VERY snug, and so I did have to apply just a little bit of pressure in order to insert them into the posts, but once plugged in, rest assured they're not going anywhere. They are snug. I highly recommend these.

Great wire, great price
Size: 100-Foot, Style: 14-Gauge
There is something about this wire that makes me buy it again and again, and makes me feel like it’s a great value! it’s pure copper strands and it feels, looks solid and as good as anything I ever bought for the sound transmission The cover is thick, but the wire is still flexible. Looks professional and the white looks better than the old school copper look. Getting the protective sleeve off is a bit of challenge but for me it’s worth it. Have a utility knife, wire strippers and if you have weaker hands, a pair of pliers or something to grip it with to remove from covering wires. It’s worth the effort to me as the results feel solid I use this with my higher end vintage M&K, Sansui, Pioneer, Timeframe, and other amps, speakers and to my ears, it delivers simple, clean sound at a great price. Don’t buy the hype, buy good wire and call it a day. This 14 gauge even works well with clip posts like on my Sansui 9090DB. 👌 Only thing I would do different, buy the 200ft if you are hooking up Atmos or have multiple equipment. This is my third 100ft in as many months, Lol
