Double Trouble: Two Stunning Must de Cartier Tanks 🔥👯‍♀️

Get ready to do a double-take with this stunning pair of vintage Must de Cartier Tanks! 👀

The Must de Cartier is more than just a pretty face. When Cartier introduced this line in the 1970s, they had a idea to bring their luxury brand within reach of a wider audience. By using vermeil (gold-plated silver) instead of solid gold and cheaper movements, they made owning a Cartier more accessible than ever. 💰

The Tank Must became an instant hit, spotted on the wrists of style icons and jet-setters worldwide. 🌍✈️ Fast-forward to 2021, and Cartier relaunched the Must de Cartier collection, sparking a newfound appreciation for the vintage originals.

Collectors are falling in love all over again with the Must’s timeless design and the fascinating story behind it. 😍 These watches aren’t just accessories - they’re a slice of Cartier history! 📜

So, which of these vintage beauties caught your eye? Let us know in the comments

P.s. both are available for sale on our site now! 👀

An understated, elegant Rolex? Meet the Rolex Precision Dress watches.

You may be used to seeing “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” on a vintage Rolex dial, but what does it mean when this is replaced by the word “Precision”?

In short, Rolex used “Precision” on watches that are not certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC). This being said, it’s important to note that COSC certification has little bearing on the watch itself. Non-certified watches didn’t fail certification, they simply didn’t apply for the certification.

These Precision labelled watches were introduced by Rolex to offer a lower priced product whilst still protecting their main product lines by the differentiation in the labelling. For those who couldn’t quite afford the traditional lines, a Rolex Precision offered a great first step on the ladder…. in a similar way the Tudor brand did.

These watches were introduced in two styles. The first were elegant dress watches as we see here, often in gold but sometimes steel. Rolex first introduced these pieces in the 40s, with the latest examples coming from the 70s. These were available in simple snapback cases, with most examples dating from the 50’s and 60’s.

The three examples you see here are all for sale on our site, click through to see more details, from left to right:

⌚ Rolex Precision 9k, 1969 - £2,395
⌚ Rolex Precision 4516 9k Gold, 1955 - £2,495
⌚ Rolex Precision 9k Gold, 1954 - £2,495

*Don't forget to use code "Meta100" for £100 off!

The second style debuted in the classic Rolex Oyster case, appearing on the scene in circa 1953. The most famous of these are the Oysterdate and Oyster Precision models. While these made up the majority of “Precision” labelled watches, it’s interesting to note that some models of the Rolex Air King also included this label.

💛 A Gold Watch That’s Won Our Hearts 💛

We’ll admit, gold bracelet watches aren’t usually our thing. But this 1972 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Reference 1501 has us absolutely smitten! 😍

At a beautifully balanced 34mm, this 18k gold vintage Rolex is the epitome of understated elegance. The size is just perfect, sitting gracefully on the wrist without overpowering. ✨

But that textured champagne dial…yes please! 🍾 The delicate engraved pattern catches the light in the most mesmerizing way. We could stare at it all day!

And don’t even get us started on the rivet bracelet. Those classic rivet links in gleaming gold are simply to die for! 🤩

If you’re looking for a gold watch that’s miles away from gaudy and effortlessly chic, this is the one. Tap the link in the photo to see more!

Stop and Reset with Vintage Racing Appeal 🏎️

We love a Omega Chronostop for its unique design and function first approach. Originally launched as part of the Seamaster line, the Chronostop is a single pusher chronograph designed to time sub 60 second times (unless you want to count the minutes manually!).

The chronograph is used by pressing the pusher once to start the stopwatch hand. Press it again (& keep it pressed) to stop the stopwatch hand, read the time then release the pusher to reset the hand to zero.

- Rolex Precision 9k Presentation, 1970’s: A classy and timeless take on the gold dress watch combined with a piece of personal history.

- Heuer Camaro 45 9220: The Camaro is already one of our favourite vintage chronos but the 9220 takes things up a level being one of only an estimated 1,100 ever made! Snap this up before it goes!

- Vacheron Constantin “Patrimony” Ref 6456: The epitome of sophistication. Watches like this would be the inspiration for Vacheron’s successful Patrimony line, and its easy to see why.

✈️🌟 Breitling Navitimer 806 "Twin Jets" - A Timeless Fusion of Aviation and Elegance 🌟✈️

For vintage watch enthusiasts and aviation aficionados alike, feast your eyes on the Breitling Navitimer 806 "Twin Jets".

🔍 **Iconic Features**:

- Blending gold and steel, this Navitimer transcends the typical pilot's watch to become a symbol of sophistication.

- Its classic black dial accented with gilt text and contrasting white sub-dials, radiates with Breitling's luxurious yet functional designs.

- At its heart lies the Venus 178 movement, renowned for its accuracy and reliability.

🛩️ **Aviation Legacy**:

- The "Twin Jets" designation is more than just a name; it's a nod to the golden age of aviation, making this watch a must-have for history buffs.

- The slide rule bezel isn't just for show; it's a functional tool, allowing pilots to calculate critical flight parameters in style - just don’t ask us to explain how it works! 😅

💫 **Why It Stands Out**:

- This Navitimer isn't just for telling time; it's a wearable piece of aviation history, draped in elegance and precision.

- Priced at £4,395, it's an opportunity to own a remarkable chronograph that's as much a conversation starter as it is a statement piece.

Whether you're a seasoned watch collector, a lover of aviation history, or someone looking to buy their first vintage watch, the Breitling Navitimer 806 "Twin Jets" is a timepiece that will captivate and inspire. Don't let this chance fly by!

🕰️ Meet the gorgeous Omega Jumbo Two-Tone Ref 2325 (1944) 🌟
Today, let's bask in the glow of a truly special find: this stunning Two-Tone Jumbo Omega from 1944. It's watches like this that remind us why we fell for the charm of vintage watches in the first place.

🔎 Unveiling the Omega Jumbo Ref 2325:
Witness its commanding 37mm presence, a bold statement in the '40s, balanced by a minimalist, clean dial.
Pop the case back to find a the highly regarded calibre 30T2SC, initially crafted for smaller watches but perfectly at home here.

✨ Why It's a Vintage Icon:
The dial tells its own story: a striking blued-steel central seconds hand and silvered leaf hands elegantly sweep over Roman numerals.
And the dial itself? Over time, its two-tone scheme has evolved into a mesmerizing salmon/gold hue, adding a unique character that only age and grace can provide.
The slim, elongated lugs don't just anchor it to your wrist; they enhance its entire aesthetic, making it perfect for any setting.
