Cartier is a world-renowned French jeweler with a long history of producing classical luxury watches and rarely emphasizes sports. But sports watches occupy such a large share in the watch market. Diver watches are models available from almost every well-known watch brand. So, Cartier ultimately decided to ‘dive in’.
The Calibre de Cartier Dive Replica is not just about its appearance, it is also a true diving watch. It meets all the requirements of ISO 6425 diving watches, which means it has a waterproof depth of at least 330 feet, a timing controller (diving watch ring), and meets all standards for readability, brightness, impact resistance, magnetism, and strap durability.
The Case
Even from the other end of the room, you can tell that the typical shape of this box is Cartier. According to Cartier, its size is 42mm by 11mm, making it one of the thinnest mechanical diving watches on the market. When you consider how many giant diving watches are actually unusable, this is definitely a good thing.
Every time I check, I use a digital caliper to measure the size of the watch, measuring each size three times. In this way, I can communicate any differences between the specifications listed by the manufacturer. My measurement result is 43 millimeters by 10.80 millimeters. So, although the diameter is actually slightly wider than Cheap Cartier Replica claims, the case is thinner. This is only a difference of two tenths of a millimeter, but after spending a day on the beach, it’s much easier to slip out from under the cuffs during dinner.
The length from ear to ear is 48 millimeters. The diameter is 45 millimeters and comes with a crown guard. The weight with rubber strap attached is 113.6 grams, and the effect is good when worn for a long time.
It comes in three different case options: stainless steel, two tone (rose gold and steel), or rose gold. We reviewed the two-color model and, by the way, it perfectly matched the brand new caramel Louis Cartier 24-hour luggage bag we borrowed for filming.
Thanks to its short and hinged lugs, this Cartier Replica Watch is perfect for my wrist. Another great touch is the perforated lugs, which I personally think looks cool and allows the strap to be easily disassembled with a small screwdriver. However, the best part is that compared to typical spring strap connections, the strap can rotate to fit the wrist more snugly.
The case is equipped with a large crown and Cartier’s iconic hexagonal crown. The crown is made of 18K rose gold, polished and inlaid with faceted synthetic blue spinel. Unlike previous Calibre de Cartier models, such as the Cartier copy watches we reviewed in 2013, this watch has a sealed locking crown with a gasket. After all, this is a diving watch.
The main body of the watch case is made of stainless steel, and the surface has been treated with brushed matte finish. The 18k rose gold groove bezel surrounding the unidirectional DLC treated steel diving bezel has been fully polished. The edges of the protruding ears and crown have also been polished. The back of the shell is made of stainless steel, sealed with gaskets, and fixed with 8 screws. The waterproof level is 300 meters.
The dial
Sapphire crystal and armor mean it is located below the bezel. The glass doesn’t seem to have anti glare, I think it’s from Rolex. Around the bezel is a rose gold ring with grooves, polished to give this watch a two tone style.
The dial is black with a partially serpentine surface. Use Roman numerals and index markers for hours. The “XII” mark and triangle at the 12 o’clock position have Superluminova, as do the twelve square marks, sword shaped hour and minute hands, and the entire small auxiliary display screen.
The unidirectional 60 minute diving Perfect Swiss Cartier replica bezel is made of steel and treated with a scratch resistant black ADLC (amorphous diamond-like carbon) coating. It has 120 notches (40 teeth and 3 points) that can be adjusted for half a minute, and the sound is clear when rotated. The rotation is very good. However, the transparent coating on the bezel creates a plastic like appearance. It’s not plastic, but I personally think it can be improved to make the bezel look consistent with the high-quality fit and surface treatment of other parts of the watch.
The Movement
The Best Performing Replica Watches is powered by the same robust and reliable base caliber that powers the entire Calibre de Cartier line, the caliber 1904 MC. It runs at a frequency of 4Hz and has a power reserve of 48 hours. It is self-winding and made in-house at Cartier’s manufacture in Geneva. It has 27 jewels and is finished with Geneva stripes on the bridges and oscillated weight, with circular graining on the main plate.
