Just like every Cartier watches, this beauty is built with enduring materials for longevity, and meticulously crafted with such precision craftsmanship to ensure that the one that gonna flatter your wrist is a flawless timepiece that is sure to lasts for years to come. And with its versatile looks, it would sure complement all your favorite suits.
With its 38mm case’s diameter, Cartier W10184U2 is considerably a medium size watch for men’s average wrist. Its sturdy case that is made of premium grade stainless steel is around 10mm thick, and overall, it weighs approximately 90 grams. Its caseback is solid, while at the right hand side, there are a classic styled fluted steel crown that is set with White rubber cabochon, accompanied by two handy pushers for the chronograph functions. The face of the case is protected with a scratch resistant sapphire to makes it even more durable, and for practical sake, its whole construction is designed to be watertight to 100 meters.
Favorably, all of those "heavy" parts that make the watch feels solid and sturdier are nicely supported by the White rubber-steel* bracelet that offers a decent counter balance to the weight so that the watch is comfortable to wear. The bracelet itself measures around 20mm wide, and it comes equipped with a deployment buckle clasp.
(*) Still, you might need to take a note here considering the "rubber"’s life span that is certainly not as durable as its steel, which could be a little down side if you think that replacement (which bound to happen every few years) is such a bother as the rubber do worn out faster the the steel.
Moving right along, the watch’s dial is such a pleasure, too. Shielded by an anti-glare coated sapphire crystal and decorated with printed Cartier double C motif, this White dial is not only eye catching but also offers a good legibility --despite of its chronograph complications. On the dial, there are silver-tone sword shaped steel hands and a central sweep second hand that all features SuperLuminova, accompanied by luminescent hour markers, three guilloche sud-dials, magnified date display at four, and printed minute markers around the inner bezel.And speaking of the powerhouse, the Calibre 272 housed be this Cartier W10184U2 is a good chronograph quartz movement that is both accurate and reliable. This battery powered 22 jewels movement is personalized by the watchmaker based on the ETA 251.272 that is rated to maintains an average tolerance ±3 seconds only per month. Its chronograph runs at 1/10 a second accuracy, and in addition the central sweep seconds, it provides 1/10 second totalizer at 2 o’clock position and 30 minute totalizer at 10 o’clock position.
Simply said, this Must de Cartier Chronoscaph series is indeed a stunning timepiece. Everything from its well-crafted round case, fine brushed engraved stationary bezel, sapphire cabochon decorated crown, "Double C" decorated White dial, and the rubber steel combined bracelet do blends beautifully into something you called as a masterpiece. Not to mentions its sophisticated, reliable functionality offerings as well as the 100 m water resistance. Furthermore, although its is labeled for gents, this watch has a unisex design and does actually looks good on women’s wrist so that it would be a good one for her, especially if she loves an oversized wrist accessory.
