The design decision does tend to add some welcome color of Cartier watches to the otherwise highly functional look

Is this going to be your next Teutonic-otastic dive watch? It just might be. New from flies-under-the-radar Cartier comes the watch collection. Looks like a few other German "pro" watches? Well that is because Cartier is German. The replica Cartier Ballon joins the ranks of pieces from brands such as others, with elements from scores of other brands. While the Cartier certainly doesn't score high on the originality scale, it is a great composition of known styles and features that people want and love. There are two versions of the Cartier. The standard Cartier in sandblasted matte steel, and the new watches... done in PVD black. The case is 45mm wide with off-centered lefty crown located at 10 o'clock. The design of the case along with the dial reminds me a lot of the Cartier. Whether or not Cartier used that Fortis as inspiration is unclear, but the similarities are uncanny. The dial is good looking and very replica tag heuer easy to read with its combo of large indicators and Arabic numerals. Cartier opts for a white hour hand mixed to a orange minute hand. The design decision does tend to add some welcome color to the otherwise highly functional look. While perhaps not as "showy" as the Cartier dial feels better proportioned. Water resistant to 1000 meters, the case also has an automatic helium release valve. Feel like going down real deep anytime soon? The case is also anti-magnetic. I like this and it adds to that Cartier tendency to make things really durable. Crystal is double AR coated sapphire. Inside the watch you'll find the reliable workhorse Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. Of course as a dive watch it has a rotating diver's bezel replica IWC. Cartier mentions that the watch was made in collaboration with the German army. Not sure what that means, but it might mean that it has "ensured" functionality built in. That might also make "das Cartier" a bit more desirable to military watch buffs. Attached to the watch is a dive style rubber strap. Like Cartier places the watch in a water and dust resistant case.
