Common questions about the Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier WSBB0049

How big is the Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier WSBB0049?

The case measures 42mm across and 13.03mm thick. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

What movement is in the WSBB0049?

Automatic, Cal. 1847 MC.

Is the WSBB0049 water resistant?

It is rated to 30 meters, about 98 feet. That covers rain and hand washing. It is not rated for swimming. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.
