This luxury fashion timepiece belongs to the watchmaker’s Roadster collection that can be easily distinguished by its signature tonneau case and unique date magnifier design. And similar to the other 38 mm variant within its series, this timekeeper employs the time-tested Cartier Calibre 3110.
As a men’s watch, Cartier W62041V3 is considerably a mid-size. Its fine brushed and polished barrel-shaped case that is made of solid stainless steel measures 38 mm × 43 mm and 10.2 mm thick. The case is flanked by rounded, polished stainless steel screw-down accent pieces that gives it a further unique look. Encased within, the face that is shielded with an anti-reflective sapphire is sharp and easy to read, and being finely built, you can be sure that it gonna stays crystal clear and wont fog through time and use.
The heart of this fashion versatile timepiece is the Cartier caliber 3110, an automatic self-winding three hands movement with date that is built with base ebauche ETA 2892-2. Rugged and accurate, this high frequency 21 jewels calibre features fine adjustment via index, Roadster logo signatured rotor, and it would ideally provides around 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound. The date that is displayed at the three o’clock position features rapid date adjustment, and all the watch’s setting and adjustment can be conveniently done via the prominent crown at the right hand side.
Speaking of convenient, the sword-shaped hour and minute hands as well as the luminous dot hour markers (around the inner rims) on this timepiece’s black dial is coated with SuperLuminova so that they are easier to read in the darkness. Furthermore, the whole timepiece boasts a capacity of 100 m water resistance so that not only it wont be damaged by slight wetness nor rain, it is okay if you’d like to keep wearing it while swimming. Completing the design, the watch comes with a proportional steel link bracelet that measures around 19 mm wide, and conveniently fasten into the wrist with a hidden deployment clasp.
Simply said, Cartier W62041V3 is indeed a worthy praised timepiece that is beautiful inside out. Living up to your expectation, not only looks good, this luxury watch feels great and comfortable to wear. And although it gains a bit of time, the precision of its automatic movement is considerably good enough as well. As for pricing, this Roadster’s original retail price is around $7,250.00, however, it should be going for less than that for this moment.
