The case for it

A slim case, lacquered Roman dial and long-life quartz movement keep the design pure and easy to own.

What goes wrong

Polished case condition, strap and buckle, size confusion and retail discounting determine whether a used example is attractive.

Who it fits

Best for someone who wants Cartier design with formal versatility and no need for an automatic movement.
