Note
Compared to its automatic variant, this battery powered luxury timepiece is a tad bit lighter, and there is no noticeable visual difference (in design) between them other than this watch’s dial does’t have a painted "AUTOMATIC" above the six o’clock position.

And inside, the one that smoothly drove those eye-catching blue hands with a pleasing accuracy is the time tested Cartier Caliber 690, a Swiss made battery powered quartz 7 jewels movement that is built with precision and reliability in mind.Anyway, for all of its quality offerings, this unisex’s stainless steel on steel "two hands" Ballon Bleu de Cartier W69011Z4 watch is reasonably priced with an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $5,200.00.
