Q: What is the Cartier Pasha C Ref. 2324 35mm?
A: It’s a Swiss‑made, automatic stainless steel wristwatch featuring a 35mm case, black dial, and a stainless steel bracelet with a deployant clasp. Part of Cartier’s Pasha line, it blends sporty water‑inspired heritage with elegant everyday wear.

Q: What movement does this model use?
A: Many Pasha C Ref. 2324 watches are powered by the Cartier 049 automatic calibre, based on the ETA 2892‑A2. It’s a reliable, self‑winding movement with a typical power reserve around 40–42 hours. We can confirm the exact calibre in this specific watch on request.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it?
A: The Pasha line was originally designed with strong water resistance (many references were rated to around 100m). However, water resistance on vintage watches is not guaranteed. Avoid swimming or showering unless the watch has been recently serviced, re‑sealed and pressure‑tested. Always ensure the crown is fully secured before any exposure to moisture.

Q: How do I wind and set the time/date?
A: Unscrew/secure the crown as applicable. Position 1: manual wind (about 20–40 turns if stopped). Position 2: quickset the date. Position 3: set the time. Avoid changing the date between approximately 8pm and 2am. After setting, push the crown in and secure it firmly to help maintain water resistance.

Q: Will it fit my wrist and can the bracelet be resized?
A: This bracelet fits up to approximately 18.5cm. We can size the bracelet before shipping, and additional links can often be sourced subject to availability. Share your wrist measurement for tailored advice.

Q: Can I swap the steel bracelet for a leather strap?
A: Yes—strap changes are possible, but the Pasha C typically requires model‑specific end‑links/strap kits. Generic straps usually won’t fit correctly. Contact us for compatible strap options for the 35mm Pasha C.

Q: What crystal does it use, and does it have the dial grille?
A: The Pasha C commonly features a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. Most Pasha C variants have a clean dial without the vintage removable grid; this piece has a black, grid‑free dial.

Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect?
A: A well‑maintained Cartier automatic should keep good time within typical vintage tolerances. We recommend a routine service every 4–6 years, or sooner if you notice issues such as running fast/slow or condensation. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and impacts.

Q: Is the 35mm Pasha C unisex?
A: Yes. The 35mm case offers a refined mid‑size that suits many small to medium wrists and wears elegantly unisex. Fit comes down to personal preference and wrist shape.

Q: What is included and how do you guarantee authenticity?
A: Unless stated otherwise, the watch is delivered without original accessories. A Retro Tale thoroughly inspects and authenticates every item, provides a 12‑month mechanical guarantee, a 14‑day money‑back return policy, and secure, insured DHL delivery. EU buyers enjoy 0% customs fees.
