Introduced in 2016, the Drive de Cartier constitutes something rare for the famed Parisian maison: a fresh design.
With its curved case, domed crystal, and sapphire crystal, the Drive de Cartier is at once unique while remaining identifiably ‘Cartier’ in style — simultaneously elegant while highly legible and versatile, it’s the type of watch one is tempted to wear every day, even if its design perhaps relegates it more toward special occasions.
This Drive de Cartier is a sumptuous model dating to the 2020s. Housed in a svelte 40mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and a sapphire cabochon crown, it features a sunburst silver dial with painted black Roman indices, a blued steel ‘sword’ handset, an inner minute track and lastly, a gorgeous moonphase display. Powered by the self-winding Cartier Calibre 1904 LU MC movement, it comes paired to a black alligator leather strap with a stainless steel, signed pin buckle.
The Drive has to be one of the most compelling, dynamic dress watch designs of the past decade. And with a classic solid yellow gold construction, it's even more stunning.
We love these — so have a look!
