Delivery timing makes it an ideal piece for a Christmas present, whether for yourself or a loved one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the beginning of a new chapter for SÖNER, the creation of our first ever classic Tank watch, the Söner Tank Royal Steel. A watch born from proportion, angles, and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Söner Tank Royal Steel is a 24 x 34 mm rectangular quartz watch in polished 800HV hardened stainless steel, with a white dial, Roman numerals, a hidden crown, a Swiss ETA 901.001 movement and an 11-year battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSöner Tank Royal Steel unites 1920s Art Deco elegance, the clean lines of modern Swedish design, and the precision of Swiss heritage. Polished steel is the honest reading of this design: nothing added, nothing disguised, the geometry left to speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuilt like a watch. Inspired by a war machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLook closely and you begin to see the details. The baton hands are broad, solid and sharply defined, resembling the silhouette of tank cannons. At exactly 12 o'clock, their alignment creates an especially striking impression: one black barrel pointing toward the top of the dial, set hard against the polished steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEven the numerals carry a unique choice. Almost every watch with Roman numerals, from Cartier to Patek Philippe, Rolex, Longines and most of the other top-tier houses, uses IIII at the 4 o'clock position rather than the grammatically correct IV, a convention chosen for visual balance against the VIII opposite it on the dial. The Söner Tank Royal Steel breaks from that convention and uses the true numeral, IV. It is one of the few watches on the market where the four reads exactly as Roman numerals should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThen there is the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIts distinctive construction takes inspiration from the caterpillar tracks of a tank. The brancards, the vertical parallel case flanks, are deliberately rounded on the top and flat at the bottom, creating a visual profile reminiscent of the individual sections of a tank track. This gives the Tank Royal Steel a more mechanical, robust presence and strengthens the resemblance to the real engineering of an armoured vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt the heart of the design is a detail you almost don't notice at first: the hidden crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBy concealing the crown within the case architecture, the Söner Tank Royal Steel preserves an unusually clean and symmetrical silhouette. Nothing interrupts the armour-like geometry. From the front, the case becomes a single, disciplined form, much like the uninterrupted surfaces of an armoured vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnd finally, the gun turret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe raised upper structures draw inspiration from the gun turret of a tank. They frame the watch from above, giving the case its distinctive vertical architecture and completing the connection between the watch and the machine that inspired it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Söner Tank Royal Steel draws its character from elegance, engineering and Art Deco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Polished 800HV hardened stainless steel, 24 x 34 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement: Swiss ETA 901.001 quartz, 11-year battery life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal: AR-coated sapphire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater resistance: 5 ATM, suitable for swimming and snorkelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial: White with Roman numerals, using the true IV rather than IIII\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrown: Hidden within the case architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 10 years, international\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSöner Tank Royal.\u003cbr\u003eWear the difference.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Söner Watches","offers":[{"title":"Black Alligator Pattern","offer_id":54636868796755,"sku":"7350129730696","price":920.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Polished Steel Bracelet","offer_id":54637363462483,"sku":"7350129730702","price":920.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1429\/8644\/files\/Tank_Roya_roman_dial_polished_steel_case_polished_steel_bracelet.png?v=1790435389","url":"https:\/\/sonerwatches.com\/products\/soner-tank-royal-steel","provider":"The Rectangular Watch Brand | Söner Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
