Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Today’s watch review shares the Cartier Tank Series W4TA0017 (Medium) and W4TA0016 (Small) launched by K11 Factory. The manufacturer promotes this as the V3 upgraded version, which actually synchronizes with the new genuine models. Below, we will discuss the specific craftsmanship details of the new K11 Tank through actual product photos.
K11 Factory New V3 Cartier Tank W4TA0017 Watch Review
First, let’s take a look at the size comparison between the medium and small versions of K11 Factory’s new V3 Tank. The medium size is 33.7*25.5 mm, while the small size is 29.5*22 mm. Both configurations have the same price.
Now, let’s talk about the craftsmanship of the K11 Tank W4TA0017 medium size. First, the entire watch is a diamond-set model. The case is inlaid with 42 zirconia stones, while the small size has 40 stones.
The dial is treated with a silver-plating process. The dial printing adopts the most top-notch manufacturing technology in China, with full scales and clear, burr-free fonts. When viewed at an angle, there is a slight raised texture, and the craftsmanship is extremely delicate.
Sapphire mirror, clean and transparent.
The style of the large two-needle design is very simple, the sword-shaped baked blue hands, the color is pure, the length and thickness of the hands are in accordance with the genuine design, and the central axis of the pointer is also silver.
The K11 Factory Cartier Tank (TANK) is extremely thin, measuring just 6.6mm. Of course, since it is a quartz watch, it is normal for it to be thinner than ordinary mechanical watches. The side polishing has a high brightness. There are two stainless steel slotted screws on the left and right sides of the case respectively, and the size of the screws is consistent with that of the genuine product. The head of the watch is designed as a push-pull type, making it very convenient to adjust the time. The deep blue bullet-shaped spinel at the top of the head gives a profound feeling. Unlike some small factories that use drip glue instead, which looks cheap.
The watch features a solid case back design, equipped with a solar movement inside. The stainless steel case back is exquisitely brushed, with deep and bold Cartier English letters and other engravings. The information and serial number on the case back correspond to the warranty card, truly achieving a unique one-watch-one-code system with no duplicates. The case back is secured by four slotted screws positioned at the four corners, tightly integrated with the case to meet daily life waterproofing standards. The new K11 Tank model synchronizes with the genuine design by adopting a quick-release strap system. As seen in the details, the strap connection points feature grooves and protruding quick-release spring bars for easy adjustment.
In terms of the strap, it adopts embossed silk-textured calfskin that synchronizes with the genuine craftsmanship, featuring a soft texture and comfortable wear. The buckle uses a pin buckle design, which is different from the folding buckle of the old Tank models. Don’t assume that this is K11 Factory cutting costs – in fact, the new genuine models also use pin buckles.
The same model is also available with a brown or red strap
Conclusion: As an iconic timepiece, the Cartier Tank has been continuously reimagined through its recognizable appearance and elegant style, yet it has always maintained its unique characteristics, remaining enduringly popular since its debut. As a manufacturer that has risen from humble beginnings, K11 Factory has used a down-to-earth attitude and a spirit of dedication to create female replica versions of the Cartier Tank that are nearly indistinguishable from the originals. This is truly a boon for replica watch enthusiasts who adore this series.
