The rotor of the 1904 MC calibre is mounted on a central ceramic ball-bearing that gives it excellent shock-resistance and ensures its durability. Fitted with a fine regulating system and a stop-second mechanism, it has been conceived to enable the Manufacture to perfectly adjust its chronometry, guaranteeing that it runs with great precision. The 11 ½ ligne calibre has been designed to maintain perfect chronometric stability thanks to a double barrel that guarantees excellent constancy of the mainspring torque over a long period. Its highly symbolic name recalls the pioneering spirit of Louis Cartier who, in 1904, created one of the very first modern wristwatches for his friend, the pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont. By the way it was the first self-winding movement to be developed and assembled by Cartier’s watchmakers. ![]() The Calibre de Cartier Diver is powered by the in 2010 introduced 1904 MC calibre. Another extreme: The rubber strap is tested with a force of 200 N being mounted on the watch, the watch, for security reasons, is tested at 375 meters for on minute and the screwed-in crown with its four joints is stressed with an external force of a 5 N. In terms of shocks it has to pass the NIHS 91-10 test that´s a drop from one meter on a hard surface analog to 3000 G. Its deviation thereafter must not be bigger then 30 seconds a day and the drop of amplitude not more then 20 degrees. The Calibre de Cartier Diver furthermore hast to resist a magnetic field of 4800 A/m tested in four cycles of one minute time. Furthermore, after spending 50 hours at a depth of 30 centimeters at 18☌ – 25☌, it continues to function perfectly under water. The watch has demonstrated its resistance to salt water after immersion in a solution of sodium chloride (30 g/l) at 18☌ – 25☌ for 24 hours. For protection, the Calibre de Cartier Diver is fitted with a thick crystal, a screw back, oversized seals and a screw-in crown that ensure water-resistance to 300 meters. When underwater, diving watches can be subjected to very high pressures and extreme conditions (salt water, thermal shock, etc.). The Calibre de Cartier Diver can be clearly read deep below the surface due to the Super-LumiNova applied to its dive-time indicators, hour and minute hands, pre-selection device and small seconds counter. For greater visibility, the markers signaling each 5-minute period are clearly indicated. It has been designed with 120 notches (40 teeth and 3 points) to enable adjustment to a half-minute, with a clear sound signal during its rotation. To prevent any accidental rotation or alteration of the dive-time indication, the bezel turns in one direction only. The watch has unidirectional, self-lubricated turning bezel. CARTIER CALIBRE DE CARTIER DIVER ISOIt´s a diver´s watch complying with the ISO 6425 standard executed in a very masculine design. 2014 Cartier presents the Calibre de Cartier Diver… In 2013 Cartier launched the Calibre de Cartier Chronograph. In 2011 the same watch was presented with a metal bracelet. ![]() In 2010 Cartier launched its Calibre de Cartier watch on a leather strap. ![]()
