Look for the Calibre de Cartier in stores beginning in April, starting at $6500 in steel. The alligator strap comes with an double-adjustable folding clasp. Both crystals are sapphire, and the case is water-resistant to 30 meters. The crown features a synthetic spinel cabochon. The dial incorporates signature Cartier design codes and is dominated by an oversize XII in slight relief. The steel version comes with black or white dial, the steel and gold model comes with a white dial, and in pink gold you may choose a white or chocolate brown dial. The curved lugs provide a comfortable fit on the wrist. The Calibre de Cartier case measures 42mm in diameter and is available in steel, steel and pink gold, and solid pink gold. The rotor and upper bridges are finished with traditional Côtes de Genève, and the main plate, which is hidden from view, is circular-grained. The movement measures 25.6mm in diameter and 4mm thick and it beats at 28.800 vph. Cartier abandoned reversers in favor of a pawl system to speed winding, and a bi-directional full-size rotor assures maximum winding efficiency. Ceramic ball bearings at the center of the rotor ensure excellent shock resistance and durability. A stop-seconds system facilitates synchronization to a reference signal.Ĭartier also paid close attention to the winding system. The movement features twin barrels to provide a steady flow of power to the escapement, and the regulation system allows for fine adjustment to increase timekeeping accuracy. It powers the new men’s Calibre de Cartier line. At SIHH last week, Cartier introduced a new in-house automatic movement known as 1904-PS MC.
