As expected from Cartier, this premium timepiece’s built quality is such a pleasure. It is crafted with enduring materials that are executed with such precision craftsmanship, and, its design also takes ergonomic into the account to ensure that not only stylish with flawless details, the watch would be comfortable to wear as well.
The Ronde Solo preserves the perfectly pitched classical elegance and signature Cartier features of the Ronde de Cartier watch that serves as its inspiration: Roman numerals, blue sword-shaped hands, winding mechanism crowned with a sapphire and rail-track minute circle.
For gents’ average wrist, this Cartier Ronde Solo W6701011 automatic watch is a large size, which means it would be an oversized one if worn by ladies. The timepiece’s 42 mm round case that is slim enough at 8.36 mm, along with the high polished bezel, brushed solid case back, and 21.5 mm wide brushed and polished link bracelet are all made of quality stainless steel that is not only corrosion resistant and durable, but also allergic-free for use with sensitive skins.
To further enhancing its durability, the dial is decently shielded by a world class AR sapphire that is highly scratch resistant and provides a beautiful clarity. Meanwhile, for convenient fitting, the bracelet comes equipped with hidden folding deployment clasp.
At heart, this unisex’s luxury watch employs the in house Cartier calibre 049, which is a Swiss made automatic mechanical movement that is built by Cartier based on ETA 2892-A2 eubache. It contains 21 jewels, beats at 28,800 alterations per hour, and provides approximately 38 hours of power reserve under full wind. The 049 is both accurate and rugged, with a functionality offerings of three hands and a date displayed at the three o’clock position.
On the timepiece, these handy functionality are clearly displayed via its Silver Opaline White dial that features sword-shaped Blued-steel hands, painted Black Roman numeral hour markers, and painted minute markers that is complimented by "decor only" GMT scale around the inner rim. And as usual, for all the setting and adjustment, the watch comes with the brand’s trademark spinel cabochon decorated crown at its right hand side.Anyway, for all of its quality offerings, this unisex’s Stainless Steel on Steel Silver dial Ronde Solo de Louis Cartier W6701011 "three-hands, date" automatic wrist watch is reasonably priced with an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $3,800.00. And just saying, there is also a quartz "two-hands, date" version of this watch, which is a tad bit smaller, slimmer, and cheaper.
