It is true the this watch is often labeled for women, but, tracking back to the root, the 21 Must de Cartier collection is actually a unisex. The watch itself not too large for ladies, and not too small for men. Furthermore, this model’s colors, which mostly Blue and Silver, is quite a neutral, too.
Just like every Cartier, the pretty appearance of this wrist accessory is backed with the finest materials such as premium grade stainless steel, sapphire crystal, and high quality satin cloth for longevity. And of course, you can also be sure that each of every its details is flawless thanks to watchmaker remarkable precision craftsmanship.
This Cartier W1020013 luxury watch comes with a polished round case that is made of stainless steel that measures 35.9mm × 36.4mm and approximately 9.15mm thick, meanwhile, its supple yet supportive Satin Bluish Grey strap that comes equipped with a deployment clasp is around 18mm wide. In which, based on its size, it would be a medium for gent, or a large size for ladies.
Similar to the other Must 21 Chronoscaph, its fine brushed stationary bezel is engraved 12 engraved Roman numerals which serve as the hour markers, and its inner part is printed with minute markers. Its caseback is solid, and at the right hand side, there are a circular grainded screw down crown that is set with Black synthetic cabochon, accompanied by the two handy pushers for the chronograph functionality.
The face of this watch is protected with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal to makes its construction even more durable, and as it was it once mentioned before, its whole construction boasts a capacity of 100 m water resistance that allowing you to keep wearing it while swimming.Compared to the most chronograph watches, this watch face is somehow neater and easier to read due to the absence of hour and minute markers which already served by the bezel. On its capticating Blue sunburst dial, there are sword shaped silver tone hour and munite hands with SuperLuminova, a this seconds hand (which also has luminescent fill), a magnified date at the 4 o’clock position, and three silver guilloche subsidiary with Black hands and painted Black markers. And as expected, in addition to be highly scratch resistant, the sapphire that shields this dial has an anti-glare coating that further improve its visibility.
Speaking a bit about the movement, although it is not an exclusive movement, the Cartier Caliber 471 fitted inside is a finely tuned Swiss Quartz chronograph 23 jewels movement that is both accurate and reliable. This battery powered calibre is personalized based on the ETA 251.471, and speaking of the chronograph; it offers a central sweep seconds, 1/10 of a second counter (at 2), and 30 minute counter (at 10).
Anyway, for all of its quality offerings, this unisex’s steel on satin blue dial Cartier Must 21 Chronoscaph W1020013 chronograph quartz timepiece is reasonably priced with an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $3,750.00. And just saying, this model is also offered in pink dial version as well.
