Sumptuous Seconds

Evan Rast reports on a selection of dashing new timepieces and highlights from this year’s Salon de la Haute Horlogerie

Cartier’s Calibre Diver

Last but certainly not least, Cartier presented its Calibre Diver, another superbly designed watch in the series, with a 42mm case in steel, two-tone or 18k rose gold, featuring a rotating bezel that is coated in black DLC. The watch, which is water-resistant to 300m, is also an ISO-certified watch, having passed rigorous tests to meet eight basic criteria for divers’ watches, which includes a unidirectional timing bezel, visibility in the dark, running indication, shock and magnetic resistance, and pressure resistance.

An appealing everyday watch, the Calibre Diver is fitted with the in-house calibre 1904MC with hacking seconds, a bi-directional winding system and a 48-hour power reserve.
