I was chasing after the Solarbeat throughout December, and to my dismay, I heard from many retailers in London that they were out of stock. A Christmas miracle happened on the 26 December when I found the last Solarbeat in a boutique and bought it in a heartbeat! Loved it since - glad you do too!
Got mine in January and it is as good as you say, I even had it in a safe for 2 weeks and when coming back the time was correct so it can store a good deal of power even in total darkness. You should of also mentioned the 8 year! Warranty that Cartier has with their Watches and 4 free services making this an even bigger value proposition.
@@Riverpeth Hey, as far as I understood it , it has to be within the 8 year warranty of the the watch, this is something they explained to me whilst i was in the Cartier boutique - I was firstly shocked at the 8 year warranty as that is VERY long compared to other brands
Walked into the Cartier Boutique today, asked about a solarbeat, the lady pulled out a limited edition boutique only light green strapped small. It was the only one in store, and had been delivered an hour earlier. My wife is so happy!
I am very sorry that Cartier has discontinued this watch. I agree with you that it was a great idea and a fine execution of that idea. I hope they bring it back.
My Tank Solo hasn’t had the battery working in years. It’s an art piece (designer watch) and I understand what Andy Warhol said about Cartier. I like the quartz for the lack of date window complications. I do love my Solar Seiko divers since they are the most accurate watches I own +1 sec a month.
Congratulations Max on the new Cartier Must Tank Solar-beat, the watch is absolutely beautiful and no difference with the Tank Luis Cartier. The Solar- beat technology is a big achievement by Cartier, offering a power-solar quartz movement that it will run for at least 16 years, before its rechargeable battery needs to be replaced. Such amazing how Cartier developed a technology, using photovoltaic cells underneath the roman numerals without compromising the aesthetics and classics of the watch. For me, is a Tank and looks like the Tank, keeping the same classic and luxury and also, keeping the history for more than a century. I’m also at the waiting list at the Cartier boutique and I was debating between the Solar-Beat and the XL model with the in-house 1847mc automatic movement however, the solar-Beat is a win-win due to the size and designs from the classic Tank Luis de Cartier. One more time, congratulations 👍👍👍
I appreciate that a cow or alligator was not killed to make the strap for this watch. I use either silicone or mesh on all my watches. Also, I would not buy a battery operated quartz but I would have no problem purchasing the solar powered model. Thanks for bringing this watch to everyone’s attention. I now want one.
I hope more brands embrace solar. It’s a much better option than quartz. Secretly my ultimate hope is Grand Seiko make a version of an Astron. Grand Seiko finishing with a GPS Solar movement is my dream watch.
Doesn't a "solar" just imply the power source for the quartz movement? It's not a different type of movement, it's just being powered with a battery that charges via solar panels. Or am I mistaken?
I have a 6.4 inch wrist and opted for the Tank Louis in rose gold (the manual wound version released in 2018 to celebrate 100th anniversary). I think it's a great size! I thought about the large, but I think with a Tank, everyone should size down!
I discovered that Cartier has a limited number of small solar beat watches available for sale on its website! I pulled the trigger on a small solar beat yesterday, and it was delivered today. I am a guy with tiny wrists, and this watch model is small on me. I'm not sending it back however. Its gorgeous, and well worth the $2800.00 price. If you're looking for a Solar Beat, the small model is available, but who knows for how long? Jump on one if you're looking!
cmon, for almost 3k you can get whatever the watch u want. And citizen has eco drives for as low as 100euro. This availability is just marketing gimmick.
It’s Cartier timeless piece but I pass on a solar movement for that price. I have some japonese movements for better results. Congrats Max and enjoy your new Baby.
I tried the regular Must quartz in large, I believe the same size as this, and as much as my heart was in it, it was just too small for my 7.5” 19CM wrist unfortunately. If I did have it, I wouldn’t have worn it much. So I opted for a Santos in medium instead and while it too is small, it has more wrist presence, and scratched that itch. Great review!
Awesome! While I know some people pine for a Rolex Sub as a highly recognizable luxury time piece...my opinion is the Tank is FAR more recognizable.. and I also feel it's much more classy and refine. I'm stuck between a Tank and a Reverso, although realize they are two different price points.
Please do Max, Tank or Reverso is my dilemma too... if you could compare a Louis that would be a fair comparison. In the meantime you have persuaded me, the Solarbeat has to be my one quartz watch. Thanks
I thought to myself this is a SFW video, I admire Cartier but from afar and I do not see one in my future. I'm not rabidly trawling through Chrono24 yet but I've a feeling this may be the pebble that starts the avalanche. Excellent stuff again Max
Been keeping an eye on this Solarbeat Cartier for a while now. Not sure the cabochon is for me, but I’m all for dressy quartz solar powered watches without a second hand.
Went to the Cartier boutique to purchase a Tank Must and SA mentioned that the SolarBeat models doesn’t function well- I was recommended the automatic movement ones and got the Tank Must extra-large with leather strap. It’s apparently very difficult to charge and will frequently stop.
@@felicityw30 Breguet invented many things. The tourbillon and the modern minute repeater chime, for instance. He was also one of the first real serial producers of watches but those were pocket watches. Cartier is credited with the first wristwatch, though there were kind of bangley, bracelet type women’s wrist watches before.
@@Judah.Rosenthal I just can't seem to want to have a watch from Cartier. Longines and Rolex, yes but not Cartier. For Breguet, I worry about repairs as they might not have as many repair stores as Rolex worldwide.
@@felicityw30 I used to think like that when I focused merely on calibers and technology. But if you look a bit further at the design and craftmanship and eye for details there will be a moment when you simply cannot resist Cartier. Maybe, the Chronoflex e.g. Tank Francaise is more for you. You can't tell from the outside but it houses a split chronograph, perpetual calendar and a very handy feature that lets you set the hour hand independently. The Tank and Santos models also have their history and I reckon are as iconic as a Speedmaster and always will retain value. Best regards.
Another excellent review video, Max. And you're right about the itch. I have both a mechanical Longines Dolce Vita (Ref. L57574719) and a Seiko solar tank (Ref. SUP880). And yet, Andy Warhol was right: The Cartier Tank is the watch to wear. I want one. It's just a struggle to lay down over $2000 for a stainless steel quartz watch.
You're working hard on the content , I'm in. The vegan strap seemed really stiff in the boutique so I'm happy to hear it's comfortable once it's out of the showroom.
Quartz movements are alright with any Tank, because there's no Seconds hand to give it away, and in an all stainless steel case it's far more tasteful than gold-dipped, gold-filled whatever cases. However; I did like their older more script style logo than the sterile, "modern" block letter version they use now. The SEIKO Tank is a wonderful alternative and also well executed.
HAHAHA Lost it when you said "very fashionable babies"... New subscriber here. Keep up the good work! heading to my AD tomorrow to enquire about this watch!
Hi, Max: saying "Cartier is high quality" is a tautology. And you hit the nail: "When everyone is copying you, you don't have to try very hard to look good." Right, you just have to keep being yourself! Great examples of that are the wine red and blue versions shown at 3:50: no numbers, no indices, no second hand, no date. Only two hands and "Cartier", the seven letters that summarize what finesse and good taste are. Congratulations on your new watch and enjoy it a lot!
Nice one Max, congratulations on getting your Solarbeat Tank. I have pondered a Tank or one of the other rectangular models you mention for quite some time now and some how I've not got around to doing something about it. I guess my rectangular watch itch was scratched when I got the Reverso. I'll have to take a look at the Solarbeat at the AD at some point when or if supply improves although it might just kick off another itch that might have to be scratched at some point.
@@WatchCrunchOfficial thanks 👍🏻 My next watch won't be a Cartier though. I'm still deciding between the classic Patek Phillipe Ellipse d'Or or an A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Moon Phase.
4:51 Why don't they make the buckle section of the strap a little longer so that the buckle would sit smack on the center of the wrist instead of being offset?
Couldn’t even get on the wait list until 5 months ago! Have seen the small version is back in stock as of June 2022 but I put a deposit down on the large size. I haven’t bought a quartz movement watch in many years but I am excited for this one!
@@michaelhua2266 Yes! Arrived in July at the Cartier Boutique and I picked it up on the 17th. I did need to get a larger strap to fit my wrist. I picked that up in August. Have worn it a few times. Looks grear!
@@sailorpahl8778 Congratulations! I'm sure it looks amazing - did you have to purchase the extra strap or was the SA kind enough to gift it to you for free?
Funny to see how Cartier a d Seiko are playing ball... Seiko copied the Tank in their SUP line and put a solar powered movement in, while in return Cartier took notes and now releases this.
It's a nice watch, with great provenance. Maybe it's just me, but the Cartier marketing of the solar innovation is a bit overblown. I'll stick to my budget Seiko SUP880, which is both larger in dimension to suit my 7.5 inch wrist, which also has solar. Keep up the good work. Love your production and content.
Great video. Think I may get the quartz. Could replace the battery myself and avoid the inevitable extortionate Cartier service. Though obviously won’t come for 16 years!
Thank you for the excellent video. I'm also interested in this watch. They announced the launch in September 2021. However, I knew that the release had been postponed indefinitely. In 2022, is the TANK Must SolarBeat watch officially sold by Cartier?
I noticed that you got a short strap as well? Mine was also too short. Im on the 2nd last hole. I wonder what mad cartier think that it should supply short strap on all their solarbeats. Friends who got them has the same short strap. The watch itself is amazing. very classic
great review. thanks. yes, would be nice if Cartier reported out more info on the status of deliveries. you hear the news, get all worked up then nothing. and guess what? you sometimes move on to the next big thing. but this is a great opportunity to add to your cartier collection!!
I almost got the solar but I am a fiend for mechanical Swiss and although the serviceability of that Solar is tempting I needed that third blue hand and the bracelet to top off this XL monster.
I got this watch, love the watch however found the faux leather strap quality is extremely poor. I only worn less than few times and the leather already started peeling off/scarped at the back of strap punched hole..
Great informative video, thank you. I am considering buying this watch, and I wonder about servicing it when the time comes. Do you a have a rough sense of how much that would cost? Thank you.
Sono went to a London based Cartier official AD, was told the solarbeat is a ghost, never seen one in flash and likely never will, no point in waiting and that even if/when they come out there is no experience with the durability of the solar cells, so better off buying a standard quartz. What’s the deal with these?
Hey Max - thanks for this awesome video. I'm getting one for my GF - she's 5'5, mid/below avg weight with a fit build. Would you recommend she wear L or S ?
I'm so confused. In the Santos-Dumont video, you said the small version was something like "comically" small. But that watch is bigger than this one is. Did your perceptions change or?

Hello ! Are you happy with your watch, I mean is it reliable ?
Thanks for your answer !
Got mine in January and it is as good as you say, I even had it in a safe for 2 weeks and when coming back the time was correct so it can store a good deal of power even in total darkness.
You should of also mentioned the 8 year! Warranty that Cartier has with their Watches and 4 free services making this an even bigger value proposition.
That's great! I heard it has an energy saving mode where it'll stop the hands but remember the time 🤔
Happen to have a link detailing the four services? Do those have to be done within the 8 years, or is it over the lifetime of the watch?

The best watch chanell
2800 usd is a great price at december 2023, im in the cartier web from europe rigth now paying 3600€.....

Normally when I hear “vegan leather”, i’m thinking vinyl as in DocMartens. The Cartier strap is actually made using 40% plant matter (apples) 😊
A Cartier a day keeps the doctors away
@@WatchCrunchOfficial so tasty! I asked them at Cartier if the strap had a smell at all. No. I thought maybe the apples would come through a bit 😅
Want the rose gold manual wind
Out of the quartz, which would you choose over the other end why,
Tank Solarbeat Large or Santos Dumont Small?
"Brancards," not "Rancards," I believe.
Alternatively, skip the wait list and go buy a Seiko solar SUP880.
Wish they made the solar in XL but w/o guilloche like the automatic
Sono went to a London based Cartier official AD, was told the solarbeat is a ghost, never seen one in flash and likely never will, no point in waiting and that even if/when they come out there is no experience with the durability of the solar cells, so better off buying a standard quartz. What’s the deal with these?
I want this watch!
The lack of the seconds hand really slows time down and makes it less frenetic
Precisely! No rush 😉
Hey Max - thanks for this awesome video. I'm getting one for my GF - she's 5'5, mid/below avg weight with a fit build. Would you recommend she wear L or S ?
"Men, women and very fashionable babies"
HAHAHAHA!
I'm so confused. In the Santos-Dumont video, you said the small version was something like "comically" small. But that watch is bigger than this one is. Did your perceptions change or?
I have been waiting since last august… hoping it arrived soon
They are coming, keep calling the AD 😅
"fashionable babies" - ha!
Nice
Get a fluco suede strap on that bad boy and you've got a stunner!
Love me some fluco!
Sunlight or any light?
Thanks for the great review! How did you manage to get on the waitlist? Both Cartier and local ADs haven’t allowed me to for the past few months
The AD is a friend and I got on months ago. I hear that many have closed wait-list. But should reopen soon 🤞
