CartierPasha C Big Date 35mm ca 2010 Watch

Q: What is the Cartier Pasha C Big Date 35mm (Ref. 2475)?
A: It’s a Swiss‑made, stainless‑steel automatic wristwatch with a 35mm round case, a crisp white dial featuring a prominent big date display, and Cartier’s signature screw‑down crown cap secured by a small chain. Elegant yet practical, it’s ideal for everyday wear and smarter occasions, circa 2010.

Q: Is the movement automatic and how long is the power reserve?
A: Yes—this Pasha C is self‑winding. Normal wrist movement keeps it powered. If it has stopped, give the crown around 20–40 turns to start it. Typical power reserve for movements used in this model family is approximately 40 hours, varying with age and service history.

Q: How do I set the time and the big date safely?
A: Unscrew the crown cap anti‑clockwise to expose the crown. Position 0: manual wind. Position 1: quickset the date (if applicable). Position 2: set the time. Avoid changing the date between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown fully in and screw the cap down snugly to help maintain protection.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it?
A: The Pasha’s crown‑cap design was intended to aid water resistance, but with vintage/pre‑owned watches water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent gasket replacement and pressure testing. We recommend avoiding swimming, showering or submersion unless it has been professionally re‑sealed and tested. Always keep the crown cap securely screwed down.

Q: What wrist size does 35mm suit, and is it unisex?
A: 35mm offers a refined, compact presence suited to small to medium wrists and a classic look on larger wrists. It wears comfortably unisex depending on personal style. This bracelet currently fits up to approximately 17.5cm; three extra links are included and we can size it for you before dispatch.

Q: Can the bracelet be resized or swapped for a leather strap?
A: Yes—we can size the bracelet, and the included extra links provide additional adjustment. Many owners also enjoy the Pasha C on leather; we’re happy to advise on compatible strap options and fitment so the crown cap and aesthetics remain balanced.

Q: What crystal does the Pasha C use?
A: Most Pasha C models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to verify the crystal type on this specific piece, contact us and we’ll confirm.

Q: What accuracy should I expect, and how often should it be serviced?
A: A healthy automatic Cartier should keep good time for its era, though performance varies with age and service history. A routine service every 5–10 years is commonly recommended, or sooner if you notice running fast/slow, moisture, or reduced power reserve. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and have the seals checked periodically.
