It turns by 120 clicks, so 2 clicks for every minute you want to set. The dial is of course different, without losing its elegant appearance though and the smooth bezel has been replaced by a unidirectional turning bezel for diving watches. To be honest, that also makes it easy to like this Calibre de Cartier Diver Watch. I did a review on the regular Calibre de Cartier watch in 2011 ( you can read it here) and I quite loved it.
It almost seems as reading requirements or a description of a typical functional watch but it really is applicable for this well-designed Calibre de Cartier watch. To name a few: a reliability test under water, a condensation test, a pressure test on crown (and pushers), water-tightness and resistance at a water overpressure, resistance to thermal shock.Īs you can read, very functional matters. This ISO 6425 standard was revised in 2008 for the last time and a number of tests need to be performed in order to meet the requirements. According to these ISO standards that is.
This ISO norm has a set of rules that must be met in order to label a watch as a Diver’s Watch. Let’s have a look at this early introduction.įor starters, Cartier made sure that this Calibre de Cartier Diver Watch met all requirements according to the ISO 6425 standards. Now, December 2013 and just a few weeks before the SIHH exhibition will start in Geneva, Cartier prepares us for a diver’s version of the Calibre de Cartier.
Even though the Calibre de Cartier was more masculine than most other Cartier timepieces – with the exception of the Santos 100 models perhaps – I still classified it as a dress watch. Back in 2010, when Cartier introduced their Calibre de Cartier I would have never thought that it would be possible to create a diver’s watch based on this model.
