There may be those who find this detail too "fancy" for a WR300M diver’s watch, but it’s worth remembering, this is a Cartier.

It is approximately 2mm wider than the bezel which allows the model to look larger than 42mm, but it is also important to note that this is not that effective at creating an oversized watch look.ĭesigned according to the sporty character of the model, at the top of the winding crown is a sapphire stone which is one of the quintessential details of the brand. The bezel is a rotational diver type with a stainless steel housing and a blue ADLC (amorphous diamond-like carbon) insert. This value, which we can say is fine for a model with an automatic mechanism that fully meets professional diver watch standards with 300M waterproof value, has a positive effect on the wearing comfort as well. The model’s 42mm case is just 11mm thick, which has enough detail to make it obvious that it is designed underh the Calibre de Cartier platform.

The case of the watch is made of stainless steel. Thus, we had the opportunity to put the Calibre de Cartier under the loupe once again, which we initially had our hand on at Cartier’s booth at Baselworld 2016. On our last visit, we included the Cartier Caliber De Cartier Blue with stainless steel case and rubber / textile combination strap to our photo shoot. Therefore, I often visit the brand’s magnificent boutique at İstinye Park Shopping Mall. “Cartier Caliber De Cartier Diver is one of the most important sports models that Cartier has introduced recently. The well-known brand should have stopped ignoring the beloved diver’s watch concept as they introduced their latest diver’s watch, the Calibre de Cartier, after a long break. In fact, it is not wrong to say that Cartier is responsible for this, as I cannot think of any diver’s watch except the Pasha Seatimer, which was mostly treated like a step-child of the highly popular Pasha De Cartier Collection. When we hear Cartier, I guess diver’s watches are the last to come to mind. This time, I am passing this part with the understanding that we left the "jewelry brand" perception aside. Whenever I write a review for a model belonging to the Cartier brand, I start by listing all of the important and successful models that are released as a result of the brand’s history, contributions to watchmaking, and recent investments. Cartier, one of the indispensable representatives of the concept of luxury, was the guest of our review corner with the Calibre De Cartier model, which stands out with his sporty character in the current model family.
