The Calibre de Cartier collection contains three-hand watches with a date display, chronographs, and diving watches that are water resistant to 300 m (30 bar, 984 ft). Other famous models, including the Tank from 1917, have long enjoyed cult status thanks to their innovative designs and are now essential to the watchmaking world. For example, they are perhaps most famous for creating the first ever pilot's watch, the Santos. Luxury timepieces from Cartier played a major role in establishing watches as an accessory for the wrist. The creation of their first in-house caliber is yet another major milestone in the history of this French manufacturer. Prior to this collection, the storied company used movements from other manufacturers, such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, or collaborated with third parties to develop new calibers. The rose gold case measures 42mm across - just 1.2mm larger than the original Calibre de Cartier watch - and is a wearable 11mm thick.Calibre de Cartier collection reveals what makes these luxury timepieces so special: They were the first to house the manufacturer's in-house calibers. Despite being water-resistant to 300m, the Calibre de Cartier Diver is one of the slimmest dive watches available. The black ADLC-coated unidirectional rotating bezel smoothly moves through 120 notches, 1 per half minute, ensuring high-precision timekeeping. For essential legibility during a dive, all diver functions on the face are Super-LumiNova treated. The tri-date aperture at 3 o'clock arcs elegantly between 2 and 4 o'clock, mirroring the curve of the case. Hours and minutes are indicated by rose gold hands, with the seconds counted in a rose gold-framed sub-dial at 6 o'clock, which has stop-start functionality.

This rose gold model features a black dial with the signature Cartier oversized XII hour marker at 12 o'clock. With each watch subjected to rigorous testing, the Calibre de Cartier Diver has ISO 6425 certification, which ensures it meets the highest standards for sub-marine usage. One of the latest additions to the collection is the Calibre de Cartier Diver, which, true to Cartier's innovative spirit, is a remarkable dive watch. When the Calibre de Cartier watch was launched in 2010, powered by Cartier's first movement to be developed entirely in-house - the Calibre 1904 MC - it marked a new era in watchmaking for the historic maison.
