This replica tank sta0051 silver revives the Tank Francaise format in a 22mm stainless steel case with an integrated metal bracelet. The WSTA0051 reference stands apart from strap-based Tank models by using a steel bracelet that flows directly from the case, creating a unified metal look from lug to clasp. The silver dial carries Roman numeral markers with blued sword hands, and the quartz movement inside keeps the case profile slim. Cartier introduced the Tank Francaise in 1996 as the first Tank with an integrated bracelet, and this reference continues that lineage in the current catalog.

Technical Overview

• Case width: 22mm (rectangular)
• Case material: stainless steel, polished and brushed
• Dial: silver with painted Roman numerals
• Hands: blued steel, sword-shaped
• Crystal: sapphire
• Bracelet: stainless steel integrated links
• Movement: quartz
• Clasp: concealed double-fold

The integrated bracelet uses alternating polished and satin-finished links that catch light differently at each angle. The concealed clasp maintains a clean appearance when the watch is on the wrist.

Inside the Movement

Quartz power in the Tank Francaise serves a practical purpose beyond slim dimensions. The integrated steel bracelet already adds weight compared to a leather-strap Tank, so keeping the movement light offsets that difference. The Francaise occupies a unique position in the Tank family as the only standard production model with a full metal bracelet. While other Tank references pair with leather or alligator, the STA0051 gives you an all-steel option that works in both professional and casual settings. The Solo yellow gold represents the opposite end of the Tank spectrum, trading steel and bracelet for gold and leather.

What Sets It Apart

The Tank Francaise bracelet eliminates the strap-change question entirely. Steel links resist moisture and temperature better than any leather option, making this the most practical Tank for year-round daily wear. At 22mm the case stays compact enough for women’s wrists, yet the bracelet adds enough visual mass to give the watch presence. The design serves people who want Tank proportions without the maintenance of a leather band. This replica tank sta0051 silver delivers exactly that combination in polished stainless steel.
