Produced in a variety of variations over the years, including quartz and automatic variants in the 1970s-1980s, all Ceinture variants utilize a symmetrical 'stepped' square case with beveled corners and a 'guarded' flat crown at the 3 o'clock position rather than the usual cabochon crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece that we have here dates to circa the late 1970s and is perhaps the most desirable size Ceinture, with a 27mm x 27mm case and a manual-winding movement inside. It comes to us in strong overall condition, with clear hallmarks and engravings and shows normal signs of wear throughout. The white enamel 'Paris' dial within presents nicely, with crisp black printing and correct blued-steel 'sword' handset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIf nothing from the Tank or Santos family speaks to you, this might just be a perfect alternative, and quite a bit more rare. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68009731293501,"sku":"OC3434","price":6850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3741\/files\/CARTIER_OCTO_STRAP_WEB_1.jpg?v=1794442545","url":"https:\/\/oliverandclarke.com\/products\/cartier-ceinture-ref-78099-white-paris-dial","provider":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
