The Cartier Roadster Chronograph watch is a graceful yet sporty watch which derives its inspiration from the field of automotive design.  Crafted from stainless steel, steel and 18K gold, or entirely in 18K gold, and demonstrating a superb attention to detail, the Cartier Roadster timepiece makes an extremely stylish statement.

Measuring 40 X 46mm in diameter, the tonneau-shaped case of the Cartier Roadster Chronograph watch is elegant yet dashing, This impression is accentuated by the contrast between polished surfaces, the angled chronograph pushpieces, and the ogive-shaped crown.  Even the magnifying element which optimizes the date display, is integrated into the harmony of the overall design, suggesting speed and movement.  The sophisticated dials with their bold Roman numerals and fine guilloche work are extremely elegant, yet in no way excessively formal. 

Beneath the protective caseback of the Cartier Roadster Chronograph watch lies the fine Cartier 8510 caliber.  This selfwinding movement is precise and reliable, featuring a power-reserve of approximately 42 hours, and offering a date display, and a chronograph function with both 12-hour and 30-minute totalizers.  Cartier presents the Roadster Chronograph on a fine leather strap, or a matching bracelet in stainless steel, stainless steel and 18K gold, or solid 18K gold, according to the model.  Thanks to a lug design which is a unique feature of the Roadster timepiece collection, the straps may be readily interchanged to suit the desires of the wearer.
