What do Andy Warhol, Princess Diana, Muhammad Ali, and Tyler, the Creator all have in common? They were or are massive fans of a tiny watch: the Cartier Tank.
More from Rolling Stone
The Tank could be the most timeless watch of all time. Modeled after WWI Renault tanks, the square watch was first introduced in 1919 and, despite Cartier barely changing it since then, the watch has remained a staple of wealthy, stylish people everywhere.
Cartier Tank Louis
$8,825 $10,200 13% off
But, as with almost every iconic watch, the Tank is out of reach for most budgets. A new Tank will set you back at least $3,300, while the more quintessential gold model will run closer to $10,000. Of course, you can roll the dice with a pre-owned model, but a decent one will still cost a few grand or more.
The Best Cartier Tank Alternatives
Here’s the good news for any Tank-lovers shopping on a budget: There are some excellent Cartier Tank alternatives available on the internet. Best of all, many of these Cartier Tank lookalikes are made by big, well-respected brands like Seiko and Casio.
Below are a few of the best Cartier Tank alternatives, starting at under $20.
EDITOR'S PICK
Seiko Essentials Dress Watch
$129 $215 40% off
Our favorite Cartier Tank dupe is this Seiko dress watch. It features a slim case that comes in gold or silver tone, a reliable Japanese quartz movement, and a Hardlex crystal. The 23-millimeter lug width is also almost identical to the large model Cartier Tank.
Time and Tru Gold Tone Ladies Watch
$10.98
For the price of a fancy coffee and a pastry, you can get this $11 Tank lookalike from Time and Tru at Walmart. Reviewers say the gold tone piece looks great in person, although it might be too small for a guy to wear (even as a statement piece).
MOST AFFORDABLE
Casio LTP-V007L-1B Watch
$31.50 $35.97 12% off
Another ultra-affordable Cartier Tank alternative on this list is this rectangular Casio watch, currently listed on Amazon for just $32. It’s very petite with a 22-millimeter diameter, but men can certainly still rock it (Tyler, the Creator is a big fan of tiny Tanks).
Peugeot Vintage Tank Shape Watch
$64.99
Another one of the best Cartier Tank alternatives is this watch from Peugeot. The $65 piece features gold plating and a slightly larger 30-by-42-millimeter rectangular shape.
Peugeot Vintage Contoured Doctors Style Watch
$69.99
Another great Tank dupe from Peugeot is this doctor’s watch. It’s a more dramatic rectangle (just 17 millimeters wide) and features contoured edges. Inside are Arabic numerals, instead of the Roman ones typically found in Tanks, and a separate second dial.
Bulova Calendar Date Quartz Watch
$206.25 $275 25% off
If you want a slightly nicer Cartier Tank alternative, check out this one from Bulova. The vintage-inspired watch features a day function and a slightly wider 29-by-41-millimeter size that works well on larger wrists.
