The sapphire crystal, and armored, meaning it is set below the bezel. The water resistance is rated at 300 meters. The case back is stainless steel, which is gasket sealed and secured with 8 screws.
The lug edges and crown are also polished. The 18k rose gold fluted bezel ring, which surrounds the uni-directional DLC-treated steel dive bezel, has been fully polished. The case body is stainless steel, with a brushed matt finish. Unlike the previous Calibre de Cartier models, such as the Calibre de Cartier Chronograph that we reviewed in 2013, this watch has a gasket-sealed locking crown. The crown is made of solid 18K rose gold, that has been polished and is set with a faceted synthetic blue spinel. The case features large crown guards, along with Cartier’s signature hexagonal-shaped crown. Best of all though, is that the strap pivots to fit your wrist more snuggly than a typical spring bar attached strap. Another nice touch is the pierced lugs, which I personally think look cool, and that allows the strap to be removed easily with a small screwdriver. Thanks to short, articulated lugs, the watch fit very nicely on my wrist. We reviewed the two-tone model, which by the way, perfectly matches the brand new, caramel-colored Louis Cartier 24-Hour duffel bag that we also borrowed for the shoot. It is available in three different case variations: stainless steel, two-tone (rose gold and steel) or rose gold. The weight (as shown) with the rubber strap attached, is 113.6 grams, which translates well when wearing it for extended periods. And the diameter, with the crown guards in 45 mm. It’s only a difference of two-tenths of a millimeter, but it is also that much easier to slip underneath your cuff when it is time for dinner, after spending the day at the beach. So, while the diameter is actually a little wider than Cartier claims, the case is thinner. My measurements came out to 43 mm by 10.80 mm. This way I can communicate any differences between the manufacturer’s listed specifications.
Louis Cartier 24 Hour Leather bagįor every review, I measure the watch dimensions, with a digital caliper, three times for each dimension. Definitely a good thing when you consider how many practically unwearable behemoth dive watches exist. According to Cartier, it measures 42 mm by 11 mm and is one of the thinnest mechanical diver’s watches on the market. The case has the typical shape you can tell is a Cartier, even from across the room.

It meets all ISO 6425 dive watch requirements, meaning, it is water-resistant to at least 330 feet, it has a timing controller (dive bezel), and it complies with all the standards for readability, luminosity, shock resistance, anti-magnetism, and band solidity. The Calibre de Cartier Dive is not just about looks, it’s also a real diver’s watch. So, Cartier finally decided to “dive in.” And the diver’s watch is a model virtually every well-known watch brand has in their assortment. But sports watches make up such a big share of the watch market. And it’s also the most rugged and sporty watch they have ever produced.Ĭartier, is a world-renowned French jeweler, with a long history of producing classical luxury watches, with little emphasis on sport.
The new Calibre de Cartier Diver’s watch - which we recently covered here and here - represents Cartier’s first foray into dive watches.
