Offered in steel and 18-karat yellow gold, the new Tank Française collection offers a total of seven references — some adorned with diamonds and some without. All powered by a quartz movement, save for the large steel model, which is the only mechanical movement with automatic winding. The gold models have a champagne sunray-brushed dial with black Roman numerals while the steel models sport the same details in cool silver.
