Cartier Tank Normale Ref. 78093 Paris Dial – 18K Yellow Gold PM, 1970s – Iconic Elegance in Period-Correct Form

We are delighted to offer this exceptional Cartier Tank Normale, Ref. 78093, dating to the 1970s—an exquisite example of Parisian design refinement and timeless horological elegance. Dressed in warm 18K yellow gold and featuring the rare and sought-after “Paris” signed dial, this piece encapsulates everything collectors revere about vintage Cartier: minimalism, geometry, and quiet prestige.

Heritage & Design

First introduced by Louis Cartier in 1917 and inspired by the Renault tanks of WWI, the Tank Normale remains the original and purest expression of the Tank line. This rare 1970s reference 78093 is a standout variant, crafted in the Petite Modèle (PM) case with elegantly compact proportions in 18K yellow gold, a warm tone that complements the crisp white dial and blued steel accents with flawless symmetry.

What sets this example apart is its Paris-signed dial, a signature indicating it was retailed directly from Cartier’s iconic Rue de la Paix boutique—a highly desirable marker among serious collectors. The original faceted sapphire cabochon crown, blue steel sword hands, and untouched dial composition further elevate this watch into collector-grade territory.

Features & Condition

Dial: Original white lacquer dial, “Paris” signed, in stunningly preserved condition—no cracks, clean surface, and still vibrant in tone. Beautifully balanced Cartier Roman numerals and inner chemin-de-fer minute track.

Case: Classic 18K yellow gold rectangular Tank case, sharp and crisp, with hallmarks deeply impressed on the caseback—a clear sign of minimal polishing and careful ownership.

Movement: Cartier Caliber 78-1, manual-winding, freshly serviced and operating with strong amplitude. Backed by a 1-year mechanical warranty for peace of mind.

Crown: Original blue sapphire cabochon crown, faceted and untarnished—a signature flourish of Cartier design.

Hands: Factory original blued steel sword hands, still luminous with rich blue hue under direct light.

Strap & Clasp: Mounted on a period-correct leather strap fitted with an original Cartier 18K yellow gold deployant clasp—a non-adjustable variant that is seldom found today.

Why Collect This Watch?

This Cartier Tank Normale Ref. 78093 is an icon in miniature—graceful, historic, and profoundly wearable. Unlike modern reissues, this vintage Paris-dial model reflects Cartier’s boutique production era, where exclusivity and artisanal finishing defined the house’s output.

Whether you’re a seasoned Cartier enthusiast or a new admirer of vintage dress watches, this 1970s Tank offers a rare opportunity to acquire a true piece of horological heritage—one that remains effortlessly elegant and enduringly relevant.

Great price!
I love that I can order these on Amazon for less than half of what I would pay at the mechanic. They fit perfect, and they're a pretty easy install.

Easy to install and works perfectly
Great price. It does what it's supposed to do. Keeps my air flow clean. Super easy to install, I can't believe mechanics charge to do this. Once you see how easy it is, you'll save yourself that expense. The material is top-quality charcoal, so it cleans all the nasty mold particles from getting into the vehicle. There is no smell, and that is a plus.
