It is also highly resistant, since it is made of Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon (ADLC).Ĭartier’s signature Roman numerals still feature on the dial, although the luminescent coating is only applied to the hour markers, the oversized XII and the small seconds counter at 6 o’clock, which gives the watch two distinct “faces” – one for daytime and one for night-time. But particular attention has been paid to the sound of its clicks, to make them both more acoustically appealing and at the same time more audible.
The unidirectional returning bezel, for example, has been designed with 120 teeth to allow adjustment to within half a minute, like that of similar diver’s models. In the style typical of Carole Forestier Kasapi, who won the best watchmaker award at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in 2012, novel approaches have been found for even the most mundane of functions in the Calibre de Cartier Diver. The challenge for Cartier’s watchmakers was to produce a diver’s watch that meets all the eight criteria for legibility and resistance required by the ISO standard 6425 with the familiar design codes of the brand.
