It wasn’t a number I was particularly happy with.
I would have been happy with 100 meters given the sport watch theme, but 30 meters is the same as most highly delicate dress watches. One of my major complaints about the original Cartier Calibre watch was the relatively poor level of water resistance at just 30 meters. Offering 300 meters of water resistance, the Calibre Diver, is a true “dive watch.” Though this element gets a bit interesting.

The diver’s bezel is a major element which allows Cartier to give the Calibre Diver an ISO 6425 “dive watch rating,” and the other major element (in addition to the dial lume) is the depth rating of the watch. Ceramic bezels are often flat or very angular, and the bezel here on the Calibre Diver is done with slightly softer edges that I like. The inwardly angled and slightly glossy bezel is produced from aDLC coated steel, which makes it rather scratch resistant and offers a slightly different look than the ceramic bezels you frequently see today. Of course, with my love of dive-style watches, I am inclined to say that the Cartier Calibre Diver is the best choice, but let’s look at the details a bit more.Īs a fan of rotating diver’s style bezels I welcome the addition of this element to the overall Calibre case design. It offers the most modern design of the others, an in-house made movement, great size, and appeal of a Cartier with a sportiness that many people are looking for today. I’ll state right here that in my opinion, the Calibre (the entire collection) is the Cartier men’s watch to get right now. Otherwise, selecting between the Cartier Calibre and the Calibre Diver is going to be a matter of personal style and preference. So what are the major differences? It really comes down to two things: the rotating diver’s style bezel and the increase in case water resistance. Even the prices between similar Calibre and Calibre Diver watches aren’t that different. One of the interesting things about the Cartier Calibre Diver is that, in many ways, it is little changed visually from the standard “Calibre de Cartier” timepiece. Why are we reviewing the gold version when this is meant to be a sports watch? Well, first of all, I think that the black dial mixed with rose gold case is very striking, and second, I feel that since this is a luxury lifestyle sports watch, why not take the luxury element all the way. There you can see hands-on images of the steel version as well as this 18k rose gold version. When Cartier officially debuted the Cartier Calibre Diver, aBlogtoWatch went hands-on here, earlier in 2014. While you might take a different position on the matter, it is true that most Western men feel that dress watches are too boring to wear on a “casual basis.” As a luxury toy, it is certainly satisfying, especially for those who want to combine high design and maintain a degree of manliness. In theory, you have a 300m water resistant dive watch but in reality you have a luxury SUV whose owners aren’t keen to take it off paved roads. In my opinion, the situation is very similar with the Cartier Calibre Diver.

Rolex’s Submariner started life as a professional dive watch, but today is something that is so much better made than the original, but also an item that its owners are much more inclined to baby.
This is merely the latest in a long line of high-end timepieces meant to suggest a sporty lifestyle even if the owner’s idea of going diving is just a dip in the pool. Let’s first start with the premise that most luxury watch brands love the idea of having sport watches, and this is by no means a first for Cartier. CRW7100052 (aka W7100052) in solid 18k rose gold diving? Neither would I, but they do offer a steel version if you feel that submerging your Cartier in ocean water is a good idea. So would you take this Cartier Calibre ref. Now, with the Calibre Diver (originally debuted here), Cartier takes that sense of sport even further with a version of the Calibre specifically meant for diving. When the original Cartier Calibre watch came out (reviewed here), I was sure to point out the sporty/dress lifestyle nature of the design.
