Amazon.com Product Description
Cartier's rugged Roadster chronograph combines elegant lines with bold, energetic styling for a look that's masculine yet refined. The large polished steel case is featured on a polished steel triple link bracelet with brushed center links and a hidden deployment clasp. An additional black leather strap, instantly interchangeable using Cartier's patented system, is also included. Luminous black sword hands, luminous markers, and bold black Roman numerals stand out against the ivory dial, which is etched with concentric rings for a sporty driving watch look. A black chronograph seconds hand and three oval subdials display the chronograph functions, which include seconds, minutes to 30, and hours to 12. The dial also features a magnified date window at the three o'clock hour. A prominent polished steel cabochon crown completes the signature look. Suitable for all luxury and sporting occasions, this watch offers Swiss automatic movement and is rated water resistant to 100 meters.

About Cartier
The name Cartier is synonymous with luxury, quality, and style. Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier, the company became renowned worldwide for its design and production of beautiful jewelry and opulent objets d’art. A royal commission in 1904 made Cartier a supplier to Europe’s Crowned Heads of State and led England’s King Edward VII to describe Louis Cartier, grandson of the founder, as the jeweler of Kings, the King among jewellers.

By the early 20th century, Cartier had expanded its collection to include watches. At a time when pocket watches were still considered de rigueur for the distinguished gentleman, Cartier helped popularize the wristwatch, making it a bold fashion statement for men and women as well as a status symbol among the well-to-do. Louis Cartier is credited with creating the first men’s wristwatch, the Santos, in 1904. He developed and named the watch for his client and friend, the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed a device that would allow him to read the time without taking his hands off the controls of his airplane. Other classic designs followed, including Cartier's signature timepiece, the Tank, in 1917, and later Cartier's first water-resistant watch, the Pasha, created especially for the Pasha of Marrakesh.

Treasured by collectors, Cartier watches are distinguished by their impressive variety of shapes (round, square, oval, Tank, Tortue and Tonneau), by their exceptional materials and workmanship, and by their recognizable Cartier aesthetic, an elegant blend of classic and modern design.

He developed and named the watch for his client and friend, the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed a device that would allow him to read the time without taking his hands off the controls of his airplane.

Other classic designs followed, including Cartier's signature timepiece--the Tank--which debuted in 1917 during the First World War and was inspired by the tough new war machine the Americans introduced to the fighting in Europe. Cartier's first water-resistant watch was named after the Pasha of Marrakesh, who requested that Cartier create watch that he could wear while in his swimming pool and not lose track of time.

And while it is known more for its luxurious design, Cartier is also credited with creating the highly functional deployment folding clasp in 1910, which is now used by watchmakers around the globe.

Modern Cartier watchmakers still base their watch designs on the early fundamentals developed by Louis Cartier. Treasured by collectors, Cartier watches are distinguished by their impressive variety of shapes (round, square, oval, Tank, Tortue and Tonneau), by their exceptional materials and workmanship, and by their recognizable Cartier aesthetic, an elegant blend of classic and modern design.

Customer Reviews

a looker
Had a Rolex Submariner and definitely consider the Cartier Roadster Chrono a trade up. I get tons of compliments on the watch. Amazon's price is excellent (haven't seen a new one lower), altho I purchased from a local jeweler for the customer service aspect ($6200).

Great Watch
I got this watch as a college graduation gift from my parents. It is a really great watch with a very modern design. I like the squarish face and it is not very common unlike Rolex's. It does indeed sratch easily so you have to be careful with that. Other then that it is a great watch that gets noticed. Cartier makes great watches and from my experience this is no exception.

Cartier Roadster
Bought this watch at Saks for 5800 approx. and due to platinum status I also get a 6% end of year reward. No tax. This price is awfully close to it, and the watch is great. Does scratch easily like all buffed stainless steel watches.

Its a cartier !
