Here, we have a watch with an interesting shape, a triple-stepped case in yellow gold that appears like a Tank with layers of gold framing around it. This model is often referred to as a "Stepped Tank," but it's actually called "Cristallor" – which sounds aptly fancy, like the name of a character from a Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings series. It carries a '70s and '80s design sensibility with a "more is more" vibe, but in an elegant Cartier manner by keeping the dial simple in white with its signature black Roman numerals, the railroad minute tracks, and the blued steel hands. Plus, to tie everything neatly together, it's finished with the sapphire-topped signature crown. Traditionalists may be hesitant at first, but trust us, it's really satisfying on the wrist. You don't see this model come up too often, so check it out in the Shop and snap it up while you can!
