Cartier Drive WSNM0004

The case measures 40mm across and 11.25mm thick. Case material: 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.

Automatic, Cartier Caliber 1904-PS MC. Power reserve is 48 hours. It beats at 28,800 vph. The movement uses 27 jewels.

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.

Drive de Cartier. Collector nicknames are not official Cartier names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
