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.

Just like every Ballon Bleu de Cartier timepieces, this elegant wrist accessory is simply charming with its distinctive design. The handsome combination of its polished steel on steel construction and the bright Silver guilloche dial makes it easy to be paired with a broad range of ensemble, and favorably, the watch is also watertight to 30 meters for practical sake. Furthermore, not only that it feels solid and sturdy, this versatile watch is also comfortable to wear as well.
Based on its size, this Cartier W69011Z4 is a medium size for gents, which means it would be a large size for ladies. Its high polished round case that is made of high quality stainless steel has a diameter of 36.6mm and approximately 12.05mm thick, meanwhile, its fine brushed and polished link bracelet that is made of the same material as the case measures around 20mm wide. The back of this timepiece’s case is solid, secured with eight screws. At the right hand side, there is an arc protected circular crown that is set with Blue Sapphire Cabochon. And for convenient fitting, its link bracelet comes equipped with a hidden deployment folding clasp.
Typical of Cartier, the watch’s Silver guilloche dial that is shielded with a scratch resistant sapphire with an anti-glare coating is simple yet simply alluring with its clean, modern classic design, and it also offers a good legibility. On the dial, there are sword shaped Blue hands that point to the painted Black Roman numeral hour markers and minute markers around the inner rim. 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.
