Hey there, watch enthusiasts! Have you ever heard of the saying ‘Round meets square, and it’s a perfect harmony’? Well, that’s exactly what Cartier has done with their 2020 Pasha series. This timepiece is not just a watch; it’s a bold statement of elegance and fearlessness. Let’s dive into why this watch should be your next wrist companion.
First on the list is the case. Made from 316L stainless steel and crafted with precision using CNC technology, the watch case features a thickness of 9.35mm and a diameter of 35.48mm. Topped with a natural sapphire crystal coated with an anti-reflective layer, it’s as tough as it is beautiful. The two deep blue gemstones are perfectly shaped, and the smooth crown cover adds a touch of luxury. Most components are interchangeable with the original, making it a versatile choice.
Next, let’s talk about the heart of the watch, the movement. The updated 9039 Citizen movement, modified to mimic the Cartier 1847MC, ensures precise timekeeping with a smooth running experience. No need for modifications, as the original low pin axis keeps the hands flat and even.
The dial is a visual delight with its white face radiating silver-plated engravings. Each detail is sharply printed and carefully filled with oil, and even the cut-off feet can be swapped with those of the original watch. If you’re into meticulous design, you’ll appreciate the attention to detail.
The hands are made of blued steel with a diamond shape, offering a clean and smooth appearance. Due to the different movement used, the hands are not interchangeable with the original, but their unique look more than makes up for it.
The strap? Oh, it’s a masterpiece! Crafted from Italian calfskin on the outside and French calfskin on the inside, its laser-engraved details are neat and clear. With a finely sculpted steel buckle that can be swapped with the original, this strap fits like a glove.
Speaking of the buckle, Cartier has rolled out a new design made with 316L stainless steel, ensuring a comfortable fit and clear branding. It’s sleek, functional, and again, interchangeable.
Let’s not forget the interior. Utilizing the same paramagnetic alloy as the original, it effectively shields against strong magnetic fields in everyday life, although it’s not interchangeable due to the movement difference.
The bezel, crafted from 316L stainless steel, is seamlessly polished and fits perfectly with the case. Its precision and compatibility with the original are to be commended.
Finally, the case back is also made of 316L stainless steel with intricate circular engraving. Each piece is uniquely numbered and features a special waterproof ring that provides water resistance up to 5 ATM, matching the original’s quality.
Bonus: The quick-release design of the case and strap adds convenience for those who like to switch up their style. And, just like the original, purchasing a watch comes with an extra strap, offering versatility and value.
So, if you’re looking for a watch that combines timeless elegance with a touch of modern craftsmanship, the 2020 Cartier Pasha is worth a closer look. It’s not just a watch; it’s an experience waiting to be worn.
