The Cartier Tank is a pretty respected design in watch circles with endless tradition (it is actually inspired by Renault tanks from WWI), although the movement quality has varied over the years.
Amen. In terms of style, its timeless. What tends to bug me about Cartier is the ubiquity of their quartz items dragging down their more refined pieces. They've made this calculation in deference to female clientele who prefer quartz to mechanical. From a business perspective, its probably the right decision however as a man it does affect my decision in purchasing one.
Edit: Actually, don't think its accurate to state women prefer quartz to mechanical, but rather women don't see much of a reason to pay a premium for a mechanical timepiece (though there are exceptions). At the end of the day, its one form of jewelery or another, so they could pour that difference into some pearls, sapphire earrings, diamond tennis bracelet, etc. We men, all we have is watches so we tend to be a bit more demanding.
