Dimepiece Cartier Ceinture Yellow Gold

A solid eighteen carat yellow gold Cartier Ceinture. This model was part of the big shift in the early 1980’s to increase the offering of the Cartier watch collection. There were a vast number of new models such as the Gondola, Faberge, Cristallor and, this, the Cienture. It originally came in three different sizes, including a jumbo-sized automatic version. It came in white gold as well as yellow and a two tone white and yellow gold as well.

This watch is powered by the Cartier ETA-made manually wound movement. It has the classic Cartier design elements. The Paris signed dial is quintessential Cartier, with the Roman numerals and the hidden signature at the 10 o’clock position, chemin de fer minute track, sword-blued steel hands, and blue sapphireset winding crown. This model did not come with a date window. This creates a cleaner, simplified look overall. The dial is in excellent condition with no crazing to it, as is sometimes found on models from this period.

The watch is presented in good original condition, unpolished with strong lines and clean throughout. There are some light scratches to the watch, but it is better to leave the watch as is than to polish! The original lines will be dulled by this.
