According to the Fratellowatches article: The Tank Divan debuted in 2002 as a brand-new addition to the Cartier lineup and was in the collection only until 2007. It was available in two sizes, with either a 31mm × 25mm case or the 38mm × 30mm case you see here. Both sizes came in either stainless steel or gold, and precious metal versions were available with diamonds or without. While the smaller Tank Divan models housed a Swiss quartz movement, the larger ones utilized an automatic Cartier 381A. This engine was based on the ETA 2000-1, a 20-jewel caliber with a 4Hz frequency and a 40-hour power reserve. Even with the automatic movement, the large Tank Divan measured just over 8mm from the case back to the top of the sapphire crystal.
