Its five picks show how much variety a rectangular case can accommodate, from a slim quartz Tank to an unusual, discontinued Rolex.
The watches and article-era details below are drawn from Thor Svaboe’s 26 August 2021 Time+Tide Watches roundup. Prices are historical figures reported at publication, not current quotes; the article is an opinion-led roundup, not a comparative test.
Five rectangular watches, five different approaches
The list spans a green-dial Reverso, a 1930s-inspired British design, a colored quartz Cartier, a highly complicated limited-edition Reverso, and a discontinued hand-wound Rolex. The dimensions, movement details, availability descriptions, and prices in the table reflect the source article’s 2021 reporting.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute to Small Seconds: green and restrained
The Tribute to Small Seconds brings a strong color choice to the Reverso’s rectangular format: a deep green sunray dial paired with a Casa Fagliano leather strap in a matching shade. The article highlights the strap as a defining part of the look, alongside the dial, rather than treating the case shape as the only source of character.
Its reported 45.6 × 27.4 mm case is 8.4 mm thick. The article identifies the movement as Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 822/2 and gives a 45-hour power reserve. It listed the watch at US$8,750 in 2021.

Fears Archival 1930: vintage cues with two dial layouts
The Archival 1930 uses a parchment-colored dial, heat-treated blue hands, and a compact 40 × 22 mm case that the article says is under 10 mm thick. Its small-seconds register sits at six o’clock; a two-hand version was also offered in the article’s account.
The source describes a rebuilt vintage ETA movement. Its comments on how that movement performs are the author’s subjective assessment, not a certification or independently reported test result. The 2021 prices were £3,950 for the small-seconds version and £3,500 for the two-hand model. The article also emphasizes Fears’ identity as an independent British brand.

Cartier Tank Must: slim quartz with a color choice
The Tank Must is the quartz option in this selection. The roundup covers colored versions and singles out a rich red dial as the author’s favorite, framing color as a way to give the familiar Tank design a more vivid presence.
The reported dimensions are 34 × 25 mm, and the article describes its profile as slim without stating a thickness. Its 2021 article-era price was A$4,150.

Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185: a four-dial complication
The Quadriptyque is the outlier in this group: a limited edition of 10 with four dials and 11 complications, including a minute repeater. The article reports a white-gold case measuring 31 mm in diameter, 15.15 mm thick, and 51.2 mm from lug to lug, worn on a blue alligator strap.
A rotating case cradle makes the watch’s multiple faces part of its design. One dial combines a jumping digital hour with a peripheral minute indicator. The source listed it at €1.35 million in 2021; that is a historical article price, not a current offer.

Rolex Cellini Prince: an unusual discontinued design
The Cellini Prince references 5441 and 5443 stand apart from the round Rolex designs most readers may know. The roundup describes them as discontinued, hand-wound rectangular watches with long lugs, a two-register figure-eight dial arrangement, and a sapphire caseback. The reported case size is 42 × 27 mm.
The article cited Chrono24 prices starting around US$10,000 at the time of writing. Because this is a 2021 secondary-market reference, it should not be read as a current valuation or a guarantee of what a particular example costs today.
What makes the selection distinctive
The roundup’s range is its central appeal: the green Reverso Tribute, Fears Archival, and colored Tank Must bring distinct dial and strap choices to relatively restrained dress-watch designs, while the Quadriptyque puts extreme complication into a rectangular Reverso. The discontinued Cellini Prince offers a different kind of distinction through its hand-wound movement, long-lugged case, and figure-eight dial.
