Cartier W69012z4 Review by Sean
My Overall Rating:
This is the sort of watch that will inspire envy, so watch your friends like a hawk! The Cartier W69012z4 Ballon Bleu Stainless Steel Automatic Watch is built to impress, like all Cartier watches. The Ballon Bleu in the name is referring to the blue sapphire cabochon crown which is incorporated into its rounded case. Other than this dazzling feature, the watch face is made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a sign of its fantastic quality. As you can see the numbers are in roman numerals, which is nothing else, proves that you know your roman numerals! I’m also a big fan of the sword like watch hands, has a sort of strength about it in amongst all the beauty.
Cartier W69012z4 watch features:
- Swiss Made watch with Cartier Calibre 049 Swiss-automatic movement; Functions without a battery; Powers automatically with the movement of your arms
- Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal; Case diameter: 42 mm
- Solid stainless steel and bracelet
- Roman numeral silvered opaline dial with guilloché detailing; Sword-shaped blued steel hands; Stainless steel fluted crown set with blue synthetic cabochon spinel crystal
- Water-resistant to 99 feet (30 M)
Who’s this watch for?
This watch would happily drape itself around someone’s wrist who is looking to impress at social gatherings. It’s definitely a dress watch and although it is water-resistant to 99 feet, the Cartier W69012z4 isn’t the sort of watch you want to start acting like James Bond with. Someone looking for style over function will be very happy with this watch. It’s will get alot of looks, will exude class and elegance and might even inspire some envious comments from those around you!
All in all, this is a fine watch. It’s made by a very respectable company, so you can be assured of it’s quality. It’s not going to be the sort of watch that looks nice, but doesn’t last. I’m drawn in mostly by its fantastic looks and so will everyone who see’s it. A fantastic and highly recommended watch and a fine example of the Cartier brand.
