How to recognise one

Five marks make the look. The count says how many of the 4 homages keep each one.

  • Roman numerals

    2 of 4 keep it, 2 not compared yet. Black Roman numerals stand at the hours, set tight to the edge of the dial.

  • Railway minute track

    A rectangular railway track runs inside the numerals.

  • Blued sword hands

    Slim blue hands that taper to a point.

  • Blue cabochon crown

    A blue stone is set in the end of the crown.

  • Side bars

    Two vertical bars run down either side of the case and carry the lugs.

Each close-up covers about 12.5 mm of watch, using the listed case width and estimated photo edges.

A dashed line means no width is listed yet, so that watch stands at 40 mm.

Sanda 1150G rose-tone case, white dial, coffee leather: Sanda 1150G Tank-style

Consider this version if you want a rose-tone, white-dial rectangular quartz watch on coffee-colour leather. The seller lists that exact combination, so ask for it by name rather than a generic Sanda Tank.

The compromise. The seller lists zinc alloy and mineral tempered glass. Which way the case measures is unknown, and the listing names no movement calibre or hand layout. Do not buy it on a precise size or function match with a Tank.

Details and where to buy

Before you choose

Updated 4 October 2026.

In brief

Choose a Tank-style watch by width and length separately. The large steel Tank Must WSTA0106 is listed at 25.5 mm wide and 33.7 mm long. The rose-gold Tank Louis WGTA0346 is listed at 27.75 mm wide and 38.1 mm long. A single diameter label hides the difference between these rectangular cases.

The pick here is the Sanda 1150G with a rose-tone case, white dial and coffee-colour leather. Its seller lists 30 x 41 mm without saying which is width and which is length, so its size cannot be compared yet. Other Tank-style watches stay in the full catalogue until their versions are clear.

Tank Must and Tank Louis are separate choices

These two exact original references differ in size, movement, material and strap. WSTA0106 is the steel-bracelet quartz profile with calibre 157. WGTA0346 is a larger rose-gold automatic with calibre 1899 MC and a stated 39-hour reserve. Their shared Tank name is not permission to borrow one reference's dimensions or movement for the other.

The Tank-style watches on Bewrist follow the Tank family, not either reference in particular. Use these two originals to decide what you want, then check the alternative's own specifications.

Width, case length and lug-to-lug are different measurements

Galeries Lafayette gives the WSTA0106's 25.5 mm as the 9-to-3 width and 33.7 mm as the 12-to-6 length. Harrods gives the WGTA0346 as 27.75 mm wide and 38.1 mm high. Neither lists lug to lug, and case length is a different measurement.

EPROLO places Sanda 1150G's 30 x 41 mm pair under Case Diameter and separately mentions a 30 mm dial diameter. The axes are not clear. Ask the seller to identify outer width excluding crown, outer case length and lug-to-lug for the exact option before comparing it with a Tank Must.

Check material and hand count

Sanda's rose colour is a finish; its listed case material is zinc alloy. Harrods lists rose gold for the original WGTA0346. Sanda lists mineral tempered glass, and Galeries Lafayette lists sapphire for the WSTA0106.

The Sanda title says three-hand, but its specifications do not list the functions or calibre. The Tank Must retailer explicitly lists two hands. Do not assume a seconds hand or date from a seller's generic product title.

Cartier describes silver dials, blued-steel sword-shaped hands and beaded crowns on these references, with synthetic spinel on the Must crown and sapphire on the Louis crown. Look for those details on any rectangular alternative. Cartier does not list the glass; the Must's sapphire in the table comes from its retailer.

Sanda 1108 and 9031 need version checks

Jewelry Addicts separates 1108 and 9031, listing different widths, heights and thicknesses. Bewrist has not resolved the full configuration of those records, so neither is a shortlist recommendation here. They remain useful leads in the complete catalogue.

A July 2023 owner review measured one 9031 at 24 mm wide and 30 mm lug-to-lug, with a 6 mm case and an Epson PC20S two-hand movement. The current retailer lists 6.4 mm thickness, and strap-width figures also disagree. The owner's report concerns their watch and wrist. It cannot settle the fit of every 9031.

Against the original, spec by spec

Steel Tank Must and the Sanda quartz option

The WSTA0106 is the steel quartz Tank Must. The Sanda follows the Tank family more broadly and lists different materials. Its size cannot be compared until its 30 x 41 mm is labelled.

Rose-gold Tank Louis and the rose-tone alternative

A rose-tone case is not rose gold. Harrods describes the WGTA0346 as rose gold and automatic; the Sanda seller says zinc alloy and quartz.

Questions

What does a Tank's 33.7 mm size measure?

For WSTA0106, the exact-reference retailer labels 33.7 mm as case height on the 12-to-6 axis and 25.5 mm as width at 9 to 3. Neither is a round diameter, and the listing does not call 33.7 mm lug-to-lug.

Is the rose-tone Sanda 1150G an automatic gold watch?

No. The seller lists quartz and zinc alloy, and the rose tone is the finish. Harrods lists the Tank Louis WGTA0346 as rose gold and automatic.

Can I choose between Sanda 1108 and 9031 by size?

The current retailer lists them separately, but their exact versions still need checking. A dated 9031 owner report also disagrees with current seller thickness and strap-width figures. Inspect the specific option and measuring basis before treating either as a settled fit choice.

Sources and dates

We read the exact Cartier product pages, retailer descriptions with named case axes, and Sanda listings on 4 October 2026. Manufacturer dimensions and retailer axis labels remain separate. This is a source comparison, not a hands-on review.

The Sanda option is identified by its case, dial and strap configuration. Its design connection is to the Tank family, with no exact Cartier reference established. We keep unlabeled size axes and missing functions visible.

Named Cartier width and length axes come from the directly read retailers, alongside manufacturer product specifications. No independent measurement supports the selected 1150G's dimensions or fit. Its case axes, calibre and functions remain unresolved.
