The Cartier Tank Must Steel Red Dial (ref. WSTA0054) channels the maison’s Art Deco lineage through a bold, minimalist palette. One of the standout releases in the modern Must line, this variant forgoes the trademark Roman numerals in favour of a clean, lacquered red dial – a striking contrast to the polished steel case and silvered minute track.

Measuring 25mm across, the rectangular case is crafted in stainless steel and matched with a crown set with a synthetic blue spinel cabochon. The dial is notable not just for its colour but for its restraint – no indices, no date, just Cartier’s logo and classic sword-shaped hands. Inside, a high-autonomy quartz movement ensures consistent, low-maintenance accuracy. Water-resistant to 30m, the watch offers everyday durability within a design rooted in early 20th-century elegance.

The WSTA0054 was released as part of a trio of monochromatic dials that reintroduced colour to the Tank Must line – deep red, burgundy, and blue – echoing archival Must de Cartier models from the 1970s. Among them, this reference stands out for its quietly assertive hue and clean geometry.Tank Must Steel Red Dial 25mm
