The F1 factory has launched a revolutionary upgrade with the exclusive aluminum-magnesium alloy solid headpiece belt, synchronizing with the original piece. This new edition addresses issues of peeling and uneven force found in older models. Crafted as a 1:1 replica of the original, it serves as a perfect alternative.
Available in large, medium, and small sizes, the large version offers two options: a custom hand-wound mechanical movement and a Swiss quartz movement with Cartier platinum specialty bridges. Both medium and small sizes feature the Swiss quartz movement with the same Cartier bridge.
Precision is key to its construction. The case is produced using 3D scan modeling from a renowned Taiwanese manufacturer, ensuring a perfect match with the original. High-precision German CNC processing is utilized to achieve excellent compatibility.
Internally, it is the only model on the market using a solid core identical to the original, with CNC-processed movement slots and fixtures, showcasing intricate craftsmanship. Most other replicas use cheap plastic substitutes, resulting in a lightweight feel.
The movement comprises an original Swiss high-power quartz movement with Cartier A-grade specialty bridges, promising precise timekeeping with zero repairs.
The CNC-carved triple silver-plated dial features railway-style indices paired with slender Roman numerals, exhibiting a sunburst effect that is elegant and clear. The French sapphire crystal glass enhances its virtual transparency for an exquisite visual experience.
The leather strap and buckle are crafted from Italian-imported calf leather, embossed with an alligator pattern and polished with agate stone. It rivals genuine alligator skin in appearance, texture, and comfort. The Cartier-styled pin buckle perfectly complements the design.
The watch hands are tempered blue steel, mirroring the original, presenting a vivid gradient effect with movement. The iconic crown, created with a five-axis machine, is topped with a cabochon of natural blue mineral, polished to perfection, unlike others using resin or synthetic alternatives.
The entire watch is meticulously polished, featuring a brushed texture on the case sides and intricate line detailing across the edges. The bezel is mirror-polished and adorned with signature exposed screws, enhancing its tactile appeal.
The packaging includes matching tags, a warranty card, and base cover code, making it perfect for personal wear or as a gift, with a design that pays homage to Cartier’s timeless elegance.
