One of the last things I was anticipating from Cartier for 2014 was a swoop watch, and now that we have one I can scarcely envision not needing it. That is the means by which the unconventional "craving motor" of the watch business meets expectations. As stirred up and counter directionally as the business may be, it still has the ability to make things that I abruptly covet which I would have never thought engaging until they were brought to my consideration. I am not in any case beyond any doubt that a plunge watch from the broadly exquisite and tasteful Parisian brand bodes well on paper, yet now that one exists I kind of truly need it. Yes, there are Cartier "sport" watches... however a genuine jumper, water impervious to 300 meters that you can even now wear with a tie and be considered important by Europeans taste producers? I didn't think it conceivable yet the Caliber Diver is it.
We appeared the Cartier Caliber Diver here again before we got an involved take a gander at it at the SIHH 2014 watch show. The Caliber has been one of our most loved men's pieces from Cartier and we've referred to that it was to serve as an establishment for a reach of new models. While I kind of expected that 2014 was going to present to us a Caliber GMT, it rather provided for us a swooping adaptation of the first. To be completely forthright not that much is not quite the same as the standard three-hand Cartier contrasted with the Diver. Certainly the jumper has a turning jumper's bezel and a somewhat bolder dial, yet aside from the elastic strap and deeper water safety this is the same tasteful men's watch I've come to truly delight in.
Numerous individuals will officially like the Caliber Diver without me needing to clarify it to them. What I need to do is clarify the watch to fellows who regularly like jump watches yet not Cartier - at any rate a lively Cartier. Genuinely, on the off chance that you are a common swoop watch gentleman there is a considerable measure to discover engaging here on the off chance that you need to overlook that you all of a sudden have a status watch on your wrist when needing to be dynamic. Most importantly, this is among the most slender 300 meters swoop watches out there being 11mm thick. That isn't precisely "ultra-flimsy," however is positively not thick for a cutting edge plunge watch. It is additionally a little more than 1mm thicker than the standard Caliber model. General I feel that most "thickness cognizant" watch significant others will have nothing to gripe about.
As a "true jumping apparatus" the Caliber Diver is ISO 6425 ensured and weight tried in water before leaving the industrial facility. A significant part of the watch is standard Caliber which is a decent thing. The 42mm wide case is an extraordinary size that wears huge however is truly sensible in its measurements. For my wrist in any event it wears eminently, wrapping around my wrist with those bended carries. It is genuinely unbelievably agreeable. The last Caliber I wore was on an arm jewelery. I do have a tendency to like the look of a Caliber on a wristband yet on the elastic strap it fits so cozily and wears like a glove.
A great part of the Caliber Diver case is brushed yet there are fine cleaned components along the edges of the drags and different zones. Cartier normally is extremely enthused about guaranteeing the completing is something they concentrate on in their high to mid-range extravagance watches, for example, the jumper. There are few watchmakers out there that offer a jump watch, at this value range, with a tantamount level of case completing.
Meagerly profiled plunge watches are remarkable in light of the fact that the pattern is frequently to "go huge" and be not kidding about size and strength characteristics. With 300 meters of water safety the Caliber Diver will go where most individuals swooping will ever go and has a water safety rating comparable to the highest level item at this value level - the Rolex Submariner. While the two timepieces are distinctive, Cartier is obviously going for the same or very much alike purchase as somebody who is intrigued by a Rolex Submariner.
Being that the Caliber Diver is a Cartier there is the essential utilization of Roman numeral hour markers and also the blue sapphire precious stone cabochon. Yes, it is exceptionally odd to have a plunge watch with Roman numeral hour markers - yet they aren't even utilized on the full dial. Likewise, the Caliber watch has dependably been clear, yet the hands have a tendency to look little when contrasted with the substantial size of great importance markers and other dial points of interest. Out of appreciation for attempting to be a device watch, the dial of the pieces are two-tone (well the gold forms pretty much are).
Yes, the Caliber Diver is accessible in steel and 18k rose gold. Being a Cartier the gold alternative is kind of an unquestionable requirement. It isn't frightfully estimated either. In the event that there is anything positive I can say in regards to the general business for 2014 it is that costs are beginning to get more sensible. Sincerely, on the off chance that you can manage the cost of the gold form of the watch let it all out. Gold and dark timepieces have a tendency to look incredible, and Cartier pulls the Diver off so well it very nearly makes the gold metal feel more easy instead of the gold making the Diver feel more dressy.
At the point when Cartier initially declared the Caliber Diver there was mumbles of it additionally accompanying a steel wristband - keeping in mind we just saw the watch with the elastic strap, both a two-tone, and steel armlet (not a completely gold one) will be accessible with the watch. As a jumper the watch must obviously (which most do) have a turning timing bezel. As opposed to take after numerous brands and make an earthenware bezel or unified with a fired addition - Cartier utilized an ADLC (like DLC) covering in dark for the bezel over steel. It offers a pleasant cleaned look that is unique from cleaned metal or clay. It is likewise marginally adjusted - that is decent. ADLC (like DLC) is likewise exceptionally solid and scratch safe. The dial is just as decent with some somewhat bolder outline prompts however from multiple points of view it is equivalent to the standard Cartier Caliber timepiece.
Of incredible essentialness is that the development is in-house made via Cartier. The Caliber Diver emphasizes a 1904 MC programmed development with a subsidiary seconds dial and date. I like the previous peculiarity, particularly on the grounds that it is exceptionally uncommon to discover in a jumper's watch. While it doesn't re-compose the tenets of making a jumper, the Caliber Diver is an inevitably saleable timepiece that supplements the bigger Caliber gathering pleasantly. I'd wear one despite the fact that "Cartier" is not the first (or second) name I consider when considering another game watch. On the off chance that you like the thought of an agreeable swoop style watch that will even now awe the relatives when they desire an off the cuff visit - this very well might be the right piece.
Cost in steel for the Cartier Caliber Diver on the strap is $8,200 which goes up to $8,900 on the steel arm jewelery. The two-tone adaptation of the Diver on a strap is $10,600 while the two-tone on a wristband is $13,000. At the highest point of the gathering is the completely 18k rose gold Cartier Caliber Diver on a strap which retails for $28,100.
