The Seiko SUP880 cannot be ignored here. It even comes in a solar variant. I have a vintage quartz version from the late 70's that belonged to my grandfather. It's incredible.

Thanks for this video - nicely done. I actually own the Herbelin Art Deco. It is a fantastic time piece that both exudes Cartier Tank and JLC Reverso-esque vibes. Well-built and robust. The guilloche enhances the dial design and the cabochon on the crown is a nice homage to Cartier. I just also recently purchased the Vario Versa. A very unique timepiece - it is my "JLC Reverso GMT". Both scratched the rectangular dress watch itch.

Keep up the great content!

Mom I made it! The photo of the Bergmann 1922 is my wrist! 😅 How cool is that! ❤

Not really a Tank alternative, but I just recently learned about the Longines Split 5, ana digi. Super slim, tiny and 1980s, in Tank shaped case.

I never really liked the look of Tank style watches, but the more I see of them plus you're infectious enthusiasm, the more I'm warming to the style.
Amazing how many there are! That Lorier looks very classy....and unique.
Great work Kieron, cheers 👍

Rotary do a great tank for the price point.

[johnstyron]

Brilliant choices. Impressed by how many you uncovered and they all seem to be good watches depending on your preference and size of your wrist. 👏🏻

That was a great video.
There’s also an Indian brand. Not sure if it’s still in production but I see several on Etsy. Tank looking but still unique. Cheers!

I wanted a “tank” in my collection, but I didn’t care for the look of the Cartier though. I ended up torn between the Hamilton Boulton, or the Bulova Frank Sinatra 'My Way' 98A261. Ended up with the Bulova. I love its art deco aesthetic. I have the two tone variant. I appreciate when a watch incorporates gold tone on the inside (à la Alpinist) so that I don’t really have to worry about marring the plating. Sure the name might just be a cash grab, but it’s a lovely little sharp angled thing if you like that kind of thing. I still wanna get the Hami for the exact opposite reason; its roundness loI. I think the roman numerals look crowded on the Cartier vs the Hamilton given its wider case. Just wanted to throw the My Way tank in there since It never gets mentioned. Like you said, Bulova does Art Deco well, therefore I consider it worth a look.

I went with 1990 Credor Seiko 8J81-5020 on a Forstner 9-Row Beads of Rice bracelet. Cheers!

Really nice selection! I was not aware of some of the brands at all, I like the De Guzman model. I was a bit surprised to see no Seiko in the list, I bought the SWR052P1 for 156 EUR last year. It is a quartz model with a very clean and simple look and a not-so bad strap for an affordable Seiko. It has a small blue (pseudo) crystal on the crown like the tank.

Thank you! Ordering my Sanda and/or Pablo Raez right away. 😁

Well done Kieron! Very insightful review. I'm sure it was no mean feat putting this together. Really interesting pieces... I think the 1st Seiko gets a lot of flack because it's wrongly categorised as a Tank homage though. I believe it's actually a Reverso homage, actually... The angular lugs hint at this, I think... Great video man! Keep up the great work. Cheers!

[nedflanders]

I’ve got a Duckworth Prestex and yeah it’s a great quality watch!

[atticus]

Not the most sorted video. It's important to stress the importance of Pablo and Sandor's case material - both will show signs of corrosion in less than a year. Also, Seiko has multiple under the radar Tank equivalents between $100-200 USD. I'd even say Seiko's missed offerings are the most user friendly of them all. Easily accessible and recognizable brand.

You should look at the Citizen tank style - have two and they are the slimmest and most comfortable I have ever owned

[thewholecut]

Nice one Kieron! Some great options here 👍

[ogzumhan]

nice video dude the BERGMANN 1922 watch is probably the right one for me ! 😊

[tyronebaptist]

Watch this video and went for the Bergman UHR 1922. Ordered it from the company in Frankfurt, almost 4 weeks for free shipping, but for &28 well worth it. Love the watch, it's way better than the price. Aloha and Mahalo.
