As a part of this year's Earth Month celebrations, Carter introduces a special Tank Louis timepiece. The design dates back over a century ago but it retains its regal design with captivating visuals. The elegant watch is built with 18-karat gold details and to honor the sustainable efforts, the brand adds a green dial and strap.

This deep green tone is associated with the concept of nature and also aligns with the notion of luxury. The classic watch was first introduced in 1917 by Louis Cartier and the tanks inspired it during WWI. The dial is accepted with vertical lines which are known as the 'brancards' meant to represent the treads left by the tanks and the case is modeled on the terret.
