Cartier Tank Normale Ref. 78093 Paris Dial – 18K Yellow Gold PM, 1970s – Iconic Elegance in Period-Correct Form

We are delighted to offer this exceptional Cartier Tank Normale, Ref. 78093, dating to the 1970s—an exquisite example of Parisian design refinement and timeless horological elegance. Dressed in warm 18K yellow gold and featuring the rare and sought-after “Paris” signed dial, this piece encapsulates everything collectors revere about vintage Cartier: minimalism, geometry, and quiet prestige.

Heritage & Design

First introduced by Louis Cartier in 1917 and inspired by the Renault tanks of WWI, the Tank Normale remains the original and purest expression of the Tank line. This rare 1970s reference 78093 is a standout variant, crafted in the Petite Modèle (PM) case with elegantly compact proportions in 18K yellow gold, a warm tone that complements the crisp white dial and blued steel accents with flawless symmetry.

What sets this example apart is its Paris-signed dial, a signature indicating it was retailed directly from Cartier’s iconic Rue de la Paix boutique—a highly desirable marker among serious collectors. The original faceted sapphire cabochon crown, blue steel sword hands, and untouched dial composition further elevate this watch into collector-grade territory.

Features & Condition

Dial: Original white lacquer dial, “Paris” signed, in stunningly preserved condition—no cracks, clean surface, and still vibrant in tone. Beautifully balanced Cartier Roman numerals and inner chemin-de-fer minute track.

Case: Classic 18K yellow gold rectangular Tank case, sharp and crisp, with hallmarks deeply impressed on the caseback—a clear sign of minimal polishing and careful ownership.

Movement: Cartier Caliber 78-1, manual-winding, freshly serviced and operating with strong amplitude. Backed by a 1-year mechanical warranty for peace of mind.

Crown: Original blue sapphire cabochon crown, faceted and untarnished—a signature flourish of Cartier design.

Hands: Factory original blued steel sword hands, still luminous with rich blue hue under direct light.

Strap & Clasp: Mounted on a period-correct leather strap fitted with an original Cartier 18K yellow gold deployant clasp—a non-adjustable variant that is seldom found today.

Why Collect This Watch?

This Cartier Tank Normale Ref. 78093 is an icon in miniature—graceful, historic, and profoundly wearable. Unlike modern reissues, this vintage Paris-dial model reflects Cartier’s boutique production era, where exclusivity and artisanal finishing defined the house’s output.

Whether you’re a seasoned Cartier enthusiast or a new admirer of vintage dress watches, this 1970s Tank offers a rare opportunity to acquire a true piece of horological heritage—one that remains effortlessly elegant and enduringly relevant.

Beat the Humidity with This Citrus Powerhouse
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
​In the middle of a brutal, humid Philippine summer, finding a body wash that actually boosts your confidence is a game-changer. Cremo’s Italian Bergamot isn’t just a soap; it’s a full olfactory experience. It opens with a vibrant, tart Italian bergamot that immediately cuts through the heat, followed by the freshness of vetiver, and the neroli blossom adds a sophisticated floral touch. ​True to Cremo’s Reserve collection, the scent is beautifully layered. It builds in intensity as you lather, allowing the earthy, fresh vetiver to anchor the citrus. Unlike many drugstore options, this lingers—stepping out of the shower, you can still catch the crisp citrus and the clean, woody dry-down on your skin. It’s the ultimate reset for a hot day.

I Smell Like a Gentleman Who Owns a Fireplace
Scent: Bourbon Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The fragrance is warm, woody, and slightly sweet...that low amber note that smells expensive without trying to smell expensive, which, as we all know, is the actual expensive smell. My wife walked past me twenty minutes post-shower and said, unprompted, "You smell really good." I nodded like I had planned this. The lather is genuinely rich; squeeze a modest amount and it blooms into a thick, creamy foam that covers everything efficiently. The texture is silky rather than watery, which matters more than people admit. Watery body washes feel like rinsing off with slightly scented regret. This one feels intentional. It cleans, and your skin actually feels clean afterward, not just rinsed. And the moisturizing? I wasn't expecting it. No greasy film, no lotion-begging dry patches by midday. Just quietly softer skin that doesn't make a big announcement about it. Now, my honest gripe: the scent longevity has a ceiling. By mid-afternoon you're back to neutral. That's the gap between four stars and five for me. For daily freshness and an incredible morning window of smelling genuinely great, it absolutely delivers...but it won't carry you to bedtime. On value: 16 fl oz is decent, the lather is efficient so the bottle lasts, and the price sits in that sweet spot where you feel like someone who makes slightly elevated but still reasonable choices, which is exactly the vibe this entire product is going for.

Lathers great in a small amount!
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Lathers great for a small amount! A fair price for the amount and rich content. I just bought, used and love it. Definitely will purchase again. I love the sophisticated yet sensible smell doesn't overpower. In my perception it is a unisex scent as I am a woman and bought for myself.
