Overview
The Calibre de Cartier Diver (ref. W7100052) represents Cartier's singular foray into purpose-built dive watches, marrying the maison's signature Roman-numeral dial language with genuine water-resistance credentials. Housed in a 42 mm stainless steel case, it is powered by the in-house Calibre 1904-PS MC, a movement developed to meet the demands of professional-grade diving. The bold black dial features an oversized XII index and luminescent Roman numerals, ensuring legibility in low-visibility conditions.
History
The Calibre de Cartier line was introduced in the early 2010s as the maison's statement of serious in-house watchmaking, and the Diver variant followed as a natural — if unexpected — extension of that ambition. Produced from 2014 to 2018, the W7100052 occupied a brief but distinctive chapter in Cartier's catalogue, standing as the only diver the brand has offered in its modern era. Its relatively short production window has made it a sought-after reference among collectors who appreciate the rarity of a Cartier built to ISO dive-watch standards.
