Cartier W62019X6

A modern dress watch with sporty flavor, this Cartier W62019X6 from the brand’s Roadster Chronograph series would be an ideal choice for any gents who looking for a stylish wrist accessory that elegantly flatter their look while allowing them to showcase their sportive side at once. And more than just an average fashion watch, this handsome steel on steel is powered with a precise Swiss automatic movement.


As expected from the Paris based watchmaker and jeweler, the built construction of this contemporary looking timepiece is superb; using quality materials such as premium grade stainless steel and sapphire crystal for longevity, and skillfully crafted with such impressive details. Furthermore, the watch’s whole construction is 100 m water resistant for practical sake.

Cartier W62019X6 is a large size for gents. It comes standard with a triple-link polished stainless steel bracelet with brushed center links that comes equipped with a hidden folding clasp, and includes an interchangeable black Toile de Voile strap that features a deployment buckle clasp. Its polished stainless steel case that is fashioned in the Roadster signature barrel-shaped design measures 42.8 mm × 47.6 mm and slim enough for an automatic chronograph at approximately 12.2 mm thick, meanwhile both of the bracelets are around 20 mm wide.

Inside, this timepiece is fitted with Cartier Calibre 8510, a Swiss made automatic self winding 37 jewels movement that offers a smooth three hands, an automatic date, and stop-watch functions (chronograph). These functionality are neatly showcased through the watch’s attractive two-tone Silver dial that features luminous hands and black Roman numerals hour markers, magnified date display at the 3 o’clock position, and three sub-dials for the small seconds, 30 minutes counter, and 12 hours counter at three, nine, and six o’clock positions respectively. Conveniently, all the setting and adjustment can be done via the screw-in fluted crown and two pushers located at the case’s right hand side.

Speaking a bit about the movement, the Cartier caliber 8510 employed by this Roadster Chronograph is a personalized movement that is built (or to be exact, modified) by Cartier based on the ETA 2894 (which is basically a chrono module slapped on top of a 2892) that contains 37 jewels, and beats at 28,800 alterations per hour. Despite of non Chronometer, this movement has a quite accuracy that is pretty much on par with the Valjoux 7750. And under full wind, its power reserve is around 42 hours.

Anyway, as for pricing, the original manufacturer suggested retail price of this Cartier W62019X6 chronograph automatic watch is $10,300.00 --in which, being 2011 release, it should be quite possible to get it for less than $10K for this time being.
